Another disappointing conversion is Street Fighter 2.
Yes , there is also Street Fighter 1 and it's nothing special on Spectrum. But it was also nothing special on arcade so no feel of disappointment.
But Street Fighter 2 was an incredible hit and an important game in my life. Me and my mate spent many hours playing the PC version or hanging out at arcade saloons playing SF2 or watching other people playing.
And many years later I learnt that it existed on Spectrum too.
It looks good, actually the sprites are big and detailed.
But it plays terribly. It's very slow but it's not the worst thing.
The bad thing is that original SF2 was controlled with joystick and 6 buttons - light/medium/strong x hand/foot attack.
On Spectrum you have one attack button and you never know what it will do. There are frames drawn for special attacks but you never know how to make these attacks. So it plays like a completely random game.
A lost opportunity unfortunately
