Another unfinished game
The ST world constantly amazes me. Just when you think you've seen it all, a "new" version of Street Fighter pops up and slaps me in the face!! Yep, I'd never heard of this before! Where have I been?
Anyhow, this was developed for the Atari STe by Patrice Mandin (the guy behind Doom and more). However, it's incomplete and without colour (although it is running in ST low). Regardless, as-is, it's fast and responsive thanks to the Blitter, hardware scrolling, and DMA-driven sounds. It's actually very, very playable!

It's hard to imagine how much effort went into this - especially when you compare the playability to the commercial game. Sadly, Patrice stopped development, so he left his project in limbo - which is a crying shame!! Great progress has already been achieved, and the source code is included. After all this time, it's sad that nobody from the scene has attempted to complete his incredible work. Such a shame.
Give it a whirl, and download Street Fighter now for the Atari STe. Prepare thy jaw to drop!!!
