Title: Amiga tournament fighters. Showdown!
Post by: runequester on January 11, 2012, 12:51:04 AM

can't do much of anything on my miggy currently, so all I am left with is talk about it for a bit longer :)


So... of the amiga tournament fighters (street fighter 2 types), which do you recommend?
I figure we can do a proper poll once we have a list of suspects.

Ones that spring to mind that we enjoyed at least to some extent:

Street Fighter 2 (never saw it on arcade or a console until much later)
Mortal kombat 1 and 2 (we played 2 quite a bit)
Shadow fighter (looks cool but had a hard time getting into it)
Fightin spirit (probably the closest to an amiga "console fighter")
Body blows (a bit naff but there's something oddly compelling about this one, we played the Galactic one a fair bit)

Anything else?

I've always heard it referred to as a terrible game, at least on consoles anyways. Is it actually worth checking out, in your opinion?

Elfmania is pure torture on hardest star difficulty :madashell:
Street Fighter 2 is the sh*t :)

Super Street Fighter II The New Challengers is the best, especially with a 2 button controller.  It's the only SF game on Amiga that actually plays anything like the arcade game.

I also have a soft spot for Way of the Little Dragon.
