Tobal No. 1 is a 1996 fighting game developed by DreamFactory and published by Square for the PlayStation.
The game's mechanics were designed with the aid of fighting game designer Seiichi Ishii, who previously contributed to Virtua Fighter and Tekken, while all the characters were designed by Akira Toriyama. Packaged with both the North American and Japanese version of the game was a sampler disc featuring a pre-release playable demo of Final Fantasy VII and video previews of Final Fantasy Tactics, Bushido Blade, and SaGa Frontier.
Tobal No. 1 received a mainly positive reception and was commercially popular in Japan. It was a cult hit in North America. The 1997 sequel, Tobal 2, was never released in North America and Europe.
