How could I forget, Streetfighter I. In the arcade, it was the most expensive game…at 40p a go. Most other stuff was 20p back in 1988. Large rubber pads were in place of buttons which you had to physically hit. Wether it made a difference the harder you hit, I don’t know but I saw many a player hitting the pad with his sleeve wrapped around his fist for protection. I think someone cut themselves they played it that much!
Streetfighter II was obviously miles ahead of the first version but we’ll talk about that later…
