did hudson make part of Street Fighter?

[scuzzo84]

Was the first street fighter from capcom called Street Fighter or Fighting STreet, and whats this

[neokellyzero]

I'm off a little on the specics of this, I apologize in advance- this was almost 20 years ago.  The original Street Fighter came out in the arcades in the late 80's and only had 4 playable characters, Ryu, Ken, Sagat(I think) and ?(can't remember). In the arcades it had the huge punch and kick buton that you almont had to pound to get to work and there was only two of them. It was ported to the PCE/TG16 as Fighting Street and that was the only console version of it.

Capcom's original Street Fighter was converted to the PC Engine by Husdon Soft and released on CD Rom under the name Fighting Street. Why they changed the name I do not know.

Actually, the original Street Fighter only had two playable characters - Ryu and Ken - and Ken was pretty much just the 2 Player Ryu color - you couldn't "pick" Ken unless you jumped in a game or played on the 2 Player side.

Other than the two kinds of button setups, the game could be set up where you picked which country you wanted to fight in next.  One setup let you pick between Japan or USA, then it automatically sent you to the other countries after that.  Another setup let you pick from all of them (Japan, USA, England or China) sending you automatically to Thailand after you beat those fighters.

2 fighters per country, some recognizable: Mike in the USA was essentially "Balrog" in SF2, Gen from the Alpha series was in China, Birdie and Eagle (from the Alpha series) were in England (though Birdie was a tall, white English punk as opposed to the bulky black dude in the Alpha games), and Adon and Sagat were in Thailand.  Sagat was the last guy.

The game is okay for the time.  It's nowhere near as playable as any of the Street Fighter games since.  The special moves are deadly, but really, really hard to pull off - if you do, though, a fireball can take off a third of an enemy's life, a dragon punch nearly kills them on the spot, and connecting with multiple hurricane kick blows will KO an opponent too.

Haha yeah I remember struggling for hours trying to pull off stupid fireballs in that game.

[Keranu]

Pulling of moves in Fighting Street are so hard, unlike later fighting games to come. But yeah, Fighting Street for the TGCD is just Street Fighter in the arcades.

The buttons in the original arcade version of Street Fighter were pressure-sensitive...the harder you pushed them, the stronger the attack. Arcades ended up having people standing on the machines, jumping on the buttons to see how far they could push it. Capcom realized that this was a mistake, so when they did Street Fighter II, they implemented the six button system which became the de facto standard.

There are two cabnet types for Street Fighter.Yes there is the uncommon "pressure" one,but there is also a 6 button cab,way ahead of its time,but back then stuff like Karate Champ,Zaxxon,AM2 games,all of that stuff had new control designs,anyone remember Ikari Warriors,the rotating joystick,or Ninja Gaiden/Shadow Warriors,with the red grapple button on top of the stick?

SNK later made a "clone" of Ikari Warriors called "Time Soldiers" that I loved to play in the arcade. The dual rotating joysticks kicked butt. I can't remember what set-up Smash TV had, but it probably was similar.

Marble Madness had a rollerball that worked so wonderfully with the game -- awesome.

[GUTS]

I used to have Time Warriors on Master System, had no idea it was by SNK!

[Keranu]

I almost bought Time Warriors, but bought something else instead. I didn't know it was by SNK either but when I played the ROM of it, it certainly was a lot like Ikari Warriors.

By the way, trackballs are awesome.

Yeah, I have this for SMS as well. Unfortuantely, this is one of the worst bastardizations of an arcade -> home conversion. They really dropped the ball with this SMS cart.

2-player co-op in Time Warriors arcade was AWESOME! the candy shop replaced Robocop with Time Warriors because Robocop was so easy and everyone was 1CC'ing it after a week. I don't think the owner knew how to adjust the dip switches, so he often swapped games abruptly.

Oh crap, I think the game is called "Time SOLDIERS"... man, my brain is really deteriorating these days. anyway, you guys knew what i meant

[Keranu]

Yeah Time Soldier is the correct name I am pretty sure. Oh well, we all knew what you meant.

[Michael Helgeson]

Yea this game was nice back in the day.I used to play it alot,alongside a Bad Dudes cab at the local Wal Mart when I was a kid.
Romstar was the cab maker for it,if I remember right.

[Michael Helgeson]

Gain Ground,its on eof the better over top perspective games.I played that alot also.I loved SNK,but hated that they would release a great game,and a knock off title using the same game play.I also hate Ninja Commando,and Ninja Combat for NeoGeo,by ADK/SNK.Those games sucked,one being apoor mans Time Soldier/Ikari for Neo,the othe rbeing apoor mans Final Fight/Double Dragon.Cyberlip was great,and in some ways you can tell it helped pave the way for Metal Slug.World Heros 1-Perfect were great too.Magican Lord A+++.Basically ADK was used to release games that would either do well or not,and help to not assoicate them if they did poorly with SNK.But we all knew anyway that it was SNK,that wasnt  a hard one to figure out.They used them for Nes/Famicom carts,and NeoGeo games.It helped with the Neo,because it mad eit look like  aextra company making software fo r the system.
Incredible Technoligies did this with Strata,Atari with Tengen,Konami/Ultra.
BTW alot of people dont know that R-type 1 and 2 cabs were made by Nintendo and Sega too.God Im so full of useless info crap,much like the useless wolf in the useless forest on a certain 5 min anime in Japan!!! Can anyone guess the name???!!!
