Capcom's 1999 arena brawler ditched the side-on view of Street Fighter for fully 3D stages where anything can become a weapon. Released in arcades on Sega's NAOMI board and on the Dreamcast the same year, Power Stone puts two fighters in rooms like a tavern, a ship deck and a mine, where tables, chairs, crates, lamps and swords can be thrown or swung, and fighters can climb poles and leap from walls.
The twist is the stones themselves. Three Power Stones spawn during a round, and grabbing all three transforms a fighter into a more powerful form with screen-filling special attacks. Opponents knock stones loose with hits, so matches swing quickly. The cast of eight includes the British pilot Edward Falcon, the samurai Ryoma, the ninja Ayame and the giant Gunrock, each with a late-1800s adventure theme. Its sequel expanded the formula to four players.
Tips for Power Stone
Hit an opponent carrying stones to knock them loose, then grab them before they recover.
Once transformed, use the power attacks quickly; the transformation lasts only a short time.
Pick up objects next to you and throw them, since many deal more damage than regular attacks.
