some nerd talking about the Commodore 64 version of SFII, which sounded like a terrible idea even before I watched it.

Is it better than the first one? 'Cause that was bad


which reminds me of this amazing letter one of the developers sent into a video game magazine after a mediocre review, taking umbrage with the fact the reviewer compared it to SFII: Turbo unfavorably

It launches day one on gamepass so for between $1-$10 dollars it can be yours along with a pile of other games. I am extremely excited to play this because I am super ready for some brawling.

What do you think is the worst classic fighting game port? Im leaning towards whichever home version of MvC or X-men vs Streetfighter (I think saturn) it was where you couldnt have a team of different characters because the system memory was too small.

That was Playstation with the memory limitations. Probably still outsold the Saturn version, since Sega was deep into self-destruction at the time.

As for worst port, the Gameboy Mortal Kombats are bad, but I don't think anybody expected much. The C64 and Amiga(Maybe?) ports of SFII are supposed to be loving terrible.

The Amiga port of SFII wasn't too bad as you could use a joypad.

The C64 port? One fire button only, as well as looooooooooooooooooooooong loading times.

It went down as well as you'd expect.

What? :wtc: there's not many games you could play with one button during that era, let alone a fighting game

I like how they advertise the special boss right on the package, instead of it being a secret
