I always hear the original Street Fighter to be terrible but that’s only because it’s being compared to its contemporary counterparts. It was novel and eye catching sight at the time, with the large sprites and the hidden special moves that deal so much damage. I think you had to be there at the time to appreciate it for what it was.
Exactly. SF1 was a gorgeous game, when it was released. It was a time when arcades were getting seriously advanced so it became obsolete in a short period of time.
I was there, but I didn't actually play it until after I played a good bit of arcade Street Fighter II, as the original really didn't pop up in arcades around me until SF2 became popular. So the first exposure to it was really Fighting Street on the Turbo-CD, an underwhelming choice for a launch game, and any which way you play it the game was just too unrefined and clumsy to be enjoyable.
Always makes me happy when I see there is a new Just Jamie video to watch. If you wanted some 80/90s retro music to use on your channel feel free to use anything from my catalogue
Hi Jamie, My daughter and I wish you had a Merry Christmas 🎄 Always such a great pleasure to listen your great British accent, and your videos are wonderful! - evenings are so pleasant thanks to you! A huge thank you for everything you did and do!
There weren't that many 1 v 1 fighting games on Amstrad to choose from so this was okay ish. There was Barbarian and IK+ though. There was also Fres Fighter 2 which was pretty cool. Mighty Street Fighters has just been released on Amstrad
Though not a very good game. But being someone that grew up in the 80's, it is still part of my childhood, I remember my uncle taking me and my brother to a convenience/video store & Ice Cream shop up the street called, Happy Mart and they had a whole wall lined up of arcade machines this was one of them but always ended up playing Rampage next to it lol
I completed the ST version back in the day, there is a specific way to play it to get through. I can't really remember how, it was a long time ago when button mashing wasn't so painful.
Played it in the arcade with the original weird power pressure buttons n then on my Atari ST.. now play arcade perfect version out of weird curiosity on my PSP.. its hard as balls!
i rememeber people doing weird things with this game back in walton/england. Spitting on the joystick for more grip when trying to do the fireball and pulling the stick back to block by literally leaning all their body weight on it lol (that was for the black guy you hit once then just block in the corner while he hits your block till time out)
Tiertex were very proud of their achievement with this piece of sh1t... They reskinned it with different sprites and backgrounds and pitched it to capcom as a sequel before the actual Street fighter 2 was released. Capcom said "hell no" and so they released it as "Human killing nachine". Boy that was an even greater turd... Imagine if Capcom had said yes... That right there would have been the end of Street fighter...
Good knowledge.. I remember.. tiertex and US Gold were such cunts.. the amount of money they swindled out of kids for their shitty products was truly criminal..
I had this on the Speccy and quite enjoyed it. Although to my shame I did lose my temper with it, snatched the tape out of the tape deck and smashed it against the wall 😢 and that was the end of that lol
I had this on the C64 and played it with a whopping joystick 🕹 and I could only pull off round house kicks. Can’t remember being repulsed by it but yeah, it was pretty lame. On a different note, I’ve been watching a lot of your videos recently and subscribed 👍 really enjoy your content, narration and humour. Awesome stuff.
I remember really liking the Speccy version that i played from covertape demo... Though i couldn't have liked it that much because i never got the full version.
I remember this game was very hard to play when i was a kid, and it was only until i played it much later as an adult that i realised it was a terrible arcade game. The controls were clunky, jumping in the air was a nightmare, the collision detection was terrible, trying to do a fireball or helicopter kick was pure luck and your life drained away in an instant. Street fighter 2 was probably the best ever sequel in gaming history, for once, not needing its predecessor, . This is definitely one for the diehard SF1 fans.
If I recall the arcade game wasn't that great to begin with. I had no idea that there were home ports of this. Of course SFII then blew the doors off of fighting games, it owned my SNES for a whole summer.
I must admit - I didn’t expect the US c64 release to come so high on the list. It was light years better than the UK release. New idea: there’s got to be a bunch of games with variant releases like this. Which one was better?
The reason why everyone says that Street Fighter is a terrible game, it's because it was foreshadowed by Street Fighter II and other sequels of the series. This is acutally a good game! Even today i enjoy playing the original Street Fighter. Yes, I said it. I don't regret anything. It was a huge succes when it was released. The only decent ports are the Commondore 64 (US), made by Pacific Dataworks, and the PC Engine CD made by AlfaSystem, one of the greatest company of PC Engine videogames. The other ports are trash, thanks to Tiertex (a.k.a. The LJN for home computers and Genesis).
Why I didn't automatically run whenever I saw see Tiertex on a game as a kid I've no idea and then I was actually stupid enough to get Human Killing Machine as well
Street Fighter reminds me so much of Street Smart except without the fighter turning red when he's losing and after passing out gets taken in the SNK ambulance with the paramedic smiling. But the first time I played it was at an Asian Market in the 90s and I thought it was fun and cool. 😂😂😂😂😂
I still have my spectrum version. I enjoyed it at the time… though the amount of loading was painful. FYI there is a keyboard shortcut to change the colour combination during gameplay
so weird that they remade the game for a us release, are there any other games where they also did this for? never really heard about something like that before.
The first game is the foundation, one that started it all As terrible as it is, it's still quite impressive for the consoles because it's almost identical…especially ZX Spectrum because my goodness! That looks good Would've been higher, for me that is. Other than PC engine, Commodore 64 is really impressive (cute too)
Street Fighter was Dragonball. A fun, novel, if clunky original. Street Fighter II was Dragonball Z. The final realization of what it was always meant to be.
In this case, even with the Turbografx CD and Arcade 6-buttons version being the "best", it doesn't really matter as nearly every fighting game before SF2 don't hold up too well.
It's a sad, sad day when both the Miggy and C64 (UK) get roundly trounced by lesser mortals such as the Speccy and Amstrad... I think bowed heads and a minute's silence is in place at this point, We Shall Not Forget.
Well, the Amiga was not often beaten by Speccy, but the C64? Well depending on the game it wasn't such a rare occasion. Chase HQ, Enduro Racer, Super HangOn, Wec LeMans, in fact most racing games were better on the Speccy, RoboCop, Rastan, Target Renegade, Operation wolf and Operation Thunderbolt, Batman The Movie, just to name a few. There are many more.
HKM, like Streetfighter 2, was originally intended as a direct sequel. For some unknown reason, Capcom didn't immediately jump on board and shower them with bad live action movie adaptations of Tiertex's original characters...or any bad games based on the bad movies of the bad game. But thanks to the original Streetfighter series creator going to SNK, we have three different teams with a deep knowledge of Streetfighter 1, independently create three different stabs at a sequel, and the results are a 1 out of 10, a 5-6 out of 10, and a 10 out of 10. At least by the fighting game standards of the very early 90's. Has that ever happened before or since?
The Atari ST version is slightly faster because it's virtually the same code on the Amiga, but on a slightly faster processor, they probably disabled the moving clouds on the Amiga in an attempt to keep it at the same speed even though it still wasn't enough, the Amiga's processor unnecessarily tied up with jerky software scrolling and software sprites with all that custom hardware including the Blitter sitting idle that could had blown the Atari ST version away, I absolutely hated lazy ST ports.
This, along with Altered Beast, Is another example of the original game being so awful, that none of the ports have anything good about them. Street Fighter 2 was an amazing title that changed the fighting game landscape forever, This first one was a complete mis fire.
@@JustJamie1983 I think what saved the series was the change to the 6 button control system on later revisions on SF1 cabinets. SF2 drew HEAVILY from Pop culture as well for its characters that helped save it too. Balrog was clearly 'inspired' by Mike Tyson & M. Bison was a rip off of an evil character from popular Manga 'Doomed Megalopolis'
@@ravengaming2597 I tried playing it on MAME and FinalBurn Neo, several times... It's almost impossible to move or make hadokens let alone other special moves. No amount of buttons can save its lousy input detection. I bet CPS hardware completely changed the game because Final Fight (aka Street Fighter 89) already had very responsive controls and hit detection and plays well to this day.
Didn't like the arcade version. All the tiertex ports range from shocking to appalling, lol Guessing tiertex kept getting the job to convert capcom games as they could churn them out very quickly and very cheaply Games this poor helped people move to the megadrive and snes as they had some fantastic arcade ports of capcom games
I meant people moving from the amiga , i was a huge amiga fan but the quality of arcade ports from us gold was generally poor not down just to the hardware I brought megadrive and soon forgot about my beloved amiga
I'd love to see Donald Campbell (former boss at Tiertex) attend a Play Expo retro event for a Q & A session. My guess is he wouldn't want to be grilled over Tiertex's shoddy business practices

I agree!! The original had its place in time! Sf2 just perfected what was already an eye opener!!
i was there and i agree!
This is written like you've never actually played it. Its virtually unplayable lol

Yup. Also released for C64 a couple of years back. Certainly one of the best modern day releases.

@highjim7778 woah, that's going too far lol
It’s one of those travelling back in time moments. Telling someone playing it that the sequel would be one of the biggest and best games ever 😀
And weirdly enough, it happened. I have no idea what convinced them to make a sequel but I Capcom were very pleased they did.
Terrible ports of an already terrible arcade game.
I ain't saying nothing. It was voted for.
The poll feels like everyone trolling lol "rate this garbage!"
@MCastleberry1980 haha. It was an experience.
The obsolete street fighter
Arcade ver or not
Nice to see all other ports😮
I really liked the original. When it was released it was actually something rather impressive.

They reskinned it with different sprites and backgrounds and pitched it to capcom as a sequel before the actual Street fighter 2 was released.

the usa version of sf for the c64 also has special move! i loved it on the c64 🙂

Hey, thanks for the sub, and I'm happy you like these videos, too 😀

I’ll be there 👍

Street fighter 2 was probably the best ever sequel in gaming history, for once, not needing its predecessor, . This is definitely one for the diehard SF1 fans.
Agreed. SF1 is a truly dreadful experience. quite possibly one of the WORST arcade games ever, and a definate low point for Capcom.
If I recall the arcade game wasn't that great to begin with. I had no idea that there were home ports of this. Of course SFII then blew the doors off of fighting games, it owned my SNES for a whole summer.
It baffles many how such a great sequel came from this.
Without even watching, I know the no 1 port will be the PC Engine CD version
Later version with a few tweaks, made by devs that cared. Yeah.
To be fair, the arcade version was no walk in the park as compared to SFII and beyond.
Yup. Definitely. A fairly bad game to begin with with fairly high difficulty levels.
I must admit - I didn’t expect the US c64 release to come so high on the list. It was light years better than the UK release.
New idea: there’s got to be a bunch of games with variant releases like this. Which one was better?

Haha
I was always impressed by Eagle's theme in the TG-16 CD version.
Yeah it's not bad.
I still have my spectrum version. I enjoyed it at the time… though the amount of loading was painful.
FYI there is a keyboard shortcut to change the colour combination during gameplay
Yup. There is, but I found that default colour to look best.
so weird that they remade the game for a us release, are there any other games where they also did this for? never really heard about something like that before.

There are many more.
I had to look twice. It almost looks identical to that other Tiertex garbage, the human killing machine!
Jeez. Don't get me started with that one. Not sure which was worse.
Human killing machine was actually developed with the intention of it being a sequel to street fighter.
HKM, like Streetfighter 2, was originally intended as a direct sequel.
For some unknown reason, Capcom didn't immediately jump on board and shower them with bad live action movie adaptations of Tiertex's original characters...or any bad games based on the bad movies of the bad game.

Played the hell out of this in arcades… then got the god awful pc port. Was jealous of the pc engine cd port.

How can such a turd birth the definitive tournament fighter just a few years later??
Exactly what I wonder too.
How is a version where you seemly can NOT damage your opponent not dead last on this list? 🤷♂
Because another version took that place 😉
So none of the ports had the special moves? Not even 1??
Who knows, I gave up attempting as i will never play it ever again
I saw this and was like "This is gonna be rough" even the best port is not good just by virtue of it being a bad game
Lol it was voted for lol
😁
@dutchcinephile1362 haha
This one was bad. I tried several times to find something "enjoyable" in this game but no luck... I REALLY TRIED FFS! 😂
Their isn't much enjoyment to this game.
Why did the viewers pick this crap? You muppets 😂 I played this junk at the time. Turbo Outrun next please ❤
Likely because it is crap? Just for giggle likely.
All of them very poor. Owned the ST version back in the day. Cheers
No probs at all. Thanks for watching

Not necessarily. Generally, around 86-90 was some of the 8 bit computers best years. Then we had trash like this.

This is Street fighter.
Shame on you! Tiertex!
