Mace: The Dark Age is a 1997 fighting video game developed and published by Atari Games for arcades, with a port for the Nintendo 64 later released by Midway. Like many fighting games of the time, its style is marked by extreme violence, with characters graphically slaying defeated opponents. Utilizing 3dfx Voodoo chips for the hardware, the game received attention for its cutting-edge graphics and turned Atari a profit in the arcades. Critical response to the gameplay was much less enthusiastic.
