Descpription:
Street Fighter made its debut in the arcades in 1987. It was
designed by Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto. The player
took control of lone martial artist Ryu, who competed in a worldwide
martial arts tournament, spanning five countries and ten opponents.
A second player could join in at any time and take control of Ryu's rival, Ken.
The player could perform three types of punch and kick attacks
(which varied in speed and strength) and three special attacks:
the fight fire, Dragon Punch and Hurricane Kick. These were
performed by executing special motions with the controls.
Street Fighter was ported to many popular home computer systems of
the time including PC. In 1988, it was released on the NEC Avenue
TurboGrafx-CD console under the new name Fighting Street.
