As we celebrate Street Fighter II's 25th birthday, we look back at the fighting games that paved the way.
Street Fighter documentary 'Here Comes a New Challenger' is now available for all, following a successful crowd funding campaign.
Fighting games are a pinnacle of competitive video gaming. Two combatants, squaring off in the virtual world, dueling it out for ultimate supremacy. Fast paced, heart pounding action as concentration between two players is visible to everyone around. Why are games like this so intense? The competitive nature of a fighting game is one of a kind. There have been all different kinds and variations of them around, and everyone has their favorites.
Wonder why they said tekken was the first 3d fighter. Could have sworn I've seen virtual fighter in an arcade way before tekken entered the scene.
In episode four of our Resurrection series we go back, way back, to a time when gaming was about riding your bike to the nearest arcade with pockets full of coins. Entering the arcade one day and seeing something not seen before; a game with no buttons but four joysticks. Four joysticks and no buttons? Welcome to the world of Karate Champ.
I loved this game, with the two joysticks. The NES version was terrible though.
