Debuting in the arcades in 1987, the original “Street Fighter” was at best a moderate success.
Although it is generally agreed among gamers that the first Street Fighter was the fighting game series that kicked off the popularity of the fighting game genre, it was Street Fighter II – The World Warrior that truly took the world of video games and the world in general by storm.
