King of Colosseum: Red was released by Spike in December of 2002 following multiple delays in the Release Date. King of Colossum, or KOC as it is often referred to as, is the sequel to Kings Soul for the original Playstation. While drawing it's gameplay engine from King's Soul as well as it's graphics engine, many upgrades were made to the game. The Addition of the Critical System from the Fire Pro Wrestling series, as well as the largely expanded roster beyond AJPW, made for a worthy successor to King's Soul. The Game was actually split into two discs, KOC Red and KOC Green due to it's massive contents. KOC Green was released just over 3 months after KOC Red.

[edit] How To Play this Game on Your System

To Play this game on your American/European PS2, you Need:

1) A Mod Chip

2) Swap Magic Discs in Combination with either a Flip top case or Slide Card

3) A Hard Drive-based Solution such as HD Loader

[edit] Combining with KOC: Green

KOC Red offered a unique experience in that you could Combine (or Fuse) the Game with the next game (King of Colosseum Green) to combine the Rosters, Rings and Arenas of the two games into one "Ultimate" King of Colosseum. This process was rather daunting for those with Japanese PS2's, let alone the multitude of Non-Japanese Gamers trying to Fuse the game via Swap Magic or other methods. Several "Hacked" game saves were released trying to simulate a Fused KOC but they never rivaled the real thing. The "Hacked" Green Save only adds the Rosters of the two games but not the Arenas, Edits, Belts or anything else from KOC Red.

Instructions for Combining coming soon
