Street Fighter II





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 slapped 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 colours (although it is running in ST low). Regardless, as is, it's fast and responsive because of the Blitter, hardware scrolling, and DMA sounds. It's actually very, very playable!

Sadly, Patrice stopped development, so he left his project in limbo - possibly waiting for another techie to pick up the gauntlet. 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 finish this incredible "beta".

Give it a whirl, and download Street Fighter for the Atari STe. Prepare thy jaw to drop!!
