I\u2019ve had an emotional connection with Street Fighter\u00a0since I was 13 years old.<\/p>\n

Scrolling brawlers like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/em> and Final Fight<\/em>\u00a0were our favorite games. We also loved squaring off in what I consider the first true fighting game, the buttonless, Robotron<\/em>-style, twin-joysticked Karate Champ<\/em>.<\/p>\n
