Street Fighter II' (Master System)

The Master System stayed alive in Brazil long after the rest of the world had written it off, thanks to Sega's local distributor Tec Toy. In September 1997 the company put out a version of Street Fighter II' for the eight-bit machine that was sold nowhere else.

Eight fighters are available: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Blanka, Guile, Sagat, Balrog and M. Bison. The arena backdrops are static and the sound is stripped back, but the matches, special moves and pacing hold together far better than the hardware has any right to. Because the standard pad had only two buttons, Tec Toy manufactured a six-button controller, which then became the Brazilian norm.

It remains the only authorised port of Street Fighter II to a third-generation console. You can play it right in your browser here on OldGame.cz.
