![]() Speculation has since pointed at leaks made public of a private Windows-based M.U.G.E.N beta that was provided to donators. The development group discontinued this project in 2003 and shut down their site.

While the engine is set up primarily for fighting game development, developers have used it for several other game types (including shooter and platform style games). Beta versions of the engine were made to work on DOS, Linux, and Windows platforms, all of which were distributed through their website.Īt its core, the M.U.G.E.N engine allows users to import created characters, background stages, and other game objects through interpreted text files, graphics, and sound compilations to create a functional fighting game similar to commercial games produced.
