Fighting, RPG and action games have the highest priority in games that have most influenced me ever since I was first introduced to mesmerizing and addicting world of arcade and console systems.
Capcom literary started a new genre with fighting games and created a game the swept arcades across the land and affected and influenced everyone that played it. I still to this day remember the first time I laid eyes on the game and the masses that where huddled around it, it was nothing short of a life changing addicting experience. Street Fighter is a game of 8 selectable fighters from around the world that battled it out to become champion of the tournament. Every fighter had a unique and special ability or move that gave everyone a particular strength to give them the edge in fighting that was never seen before.

My Favorite
As with MK, SF absorbed much of my attention as well as a numerous amount of quarters in the process and is an experience that really can never be created again. SF is at the top of my list because is a game that has influenced me like no other one has and without it many games wouldn’t exist today. Street Fighter was definitely the game that started it all with a variety of characters and interesting levels and provided intense strategy that was fully achieved only in an arcade setting.

Street Fighter 2
Street Fighter 2 (the original arcade game) - SF 2 had the best character ideas of it's time. Few fighters matched the gameplay, which gave you a unique assortment of moves to pull off on some well-animated backgrounds. It caused much more of a ruckus, being ported to a wide array of consoles in it's time. Oh yeah, and before you ask, I didn't even consider Ed Boon's Mortal Kombat series over SF. MK was a unique franchise, no doubt, but none of the releases stood out very much. Even Mortal Kombat 2 was a little stale after awhile. Capcom's Street Fighter simply had more appeal to it.

As an avid gamer in any sense of the word, I can honestly tell you that no game, regardless of whatever power you may think it have, has pleased me as this one!
