• History

  Street Fighter came on the video game scene as something of a novelty in 1987: a one on one fighting game. Arcade games were on the decline and the home gaming industry was still in it's infancy. Street Fighter debuted in Japan first, following in the same footsteps as other games such as Hang On, Out Run and Afterburner. 3D games were beginning to change the industry. Street Fighter became so popular that it spawned a clone: SNK's Street Smart.GameSpot: The History of Street Fighter
