When a man's fortunate time comes, he meets a good friend;

When a man has lost his luck, he meets a beautiful woman.

Call me old-fashioned, but on my old Apple computer, I'd play "Karateka." It's a side-scrolling game, where you would take on various enemies, one at a time, in what was one of the precursors to the Street Fighter series, but with somewhat of a storyline. Your goal was to rescue your girlfriend, who the bad guy, Akuma, kidnapped.

You had three kicks, and three punches available, and using the keyboard gave you a much faster response than trying to hammer out things on a CH Mach 2 joystick!

After you got into Akuma's castle, you'd have to eventually fight his eagle. An annoying buzzard, it was!

It took me a couple of tries to realize that you had to sprint into your girlfriend's arms, instead of advancing up to her in a fighting stance, else she'd kill you with one kick!

Oh my, what a topic. As far as modern games, I would say Soul Calibur II. Mortal Kombat Deception is a close second. As far as classics go, Ninja Gaiden was great, as well as the Double Dragon games. All of the Street Fighter games were solid. It's too difficult to choose just one.

Without question:

Street Fighter: Alpha 2 (Zero 2 over there maybe?)

It took me years to master, I only wish more people still played it. Although Capcom Vs SNK on my PS2 brings back all the memories now I have an arcade stick.

I always used to model my Martials Arts ethics and standards on Ryu,

but alas, I've turned out like Ken Masters :lol:

The more I train, the more I see the errors in my technique :(
