      @@GamesByYear I couldn't wait for the snes version. We grabbed the super famicom Street Fighter 2 w honey bee adaptor months before the American release. What tripped us out was that the boss names were rearranged from the arcades. Balrog = M. BISON. Vega = Balrog. M. BISON = Vega.

      Same. The concept of special moves such as “charging back then forward plus punch” is out of this world. How can the same directional buttons when pressed for different periods and order result to different moves? How can the computer tell you’re not just crouching or walking but really doing something else

    Street Fighter II deberia estar número 1. El link ni de coña, no tuvo para nada el impacto que tuvo SFII en 1991, el SFII era de otra liga. Sonic 1 para mi deberia ser el numero 2. El Final Fantasy nada que hacer en el top 10, ni por asomo debería de estar ahi.

    Microsoft owns the franchise started by the game ranked at #27, which is known for its difficulty. It has a fanservicy female villain. The difficulty was toned down for its later Japanese release, which served as the basis for the Sega Genesis version.
