PC Engine’s Street Fighter II’ Dash was something I first encountered while collecting, and it genuinely surprised me. The fact that such a game could fit on a tiny HuCard was impressive in itself, and the actual gameplay didn’t feel lacking at all—even when compared to the Super Famicom...

March 7, 1991 was the day the arcade version of Street Fighter II appeared, and this year marks its 35th anniversary. It was the game that sparked the fighting game boom. I first learned about the existence of the Super Famicom through the news that Street Fighter II was coming to it. By the way, it’s really funny that the back of the Korean release of Street Fighter II shows screenshots from Final Fight instead of the actual game. 😄

I used to play Street Fighter II all the time, but the first time I saw Art of Fighting, the visual impact was unbelievable. The characters filled the entire screen, fighting with overwhelming intensity. And when the distance between them increased, the screen would dynamically zoom out — that effect felt absolutely revolutionary at the time. It was stunning. On top of that, the facial damage system was incredibly realistic. The more you got hit, the more your character’s face would swell and bruise. It added a level of immersion that I had never experienced before. And did you know? The concept of the “super move” was first introduced in Art of Fighting. That was the legendary Ryuko Ranbu. When your life gauge was almost empty, you could unleash it and turn the tide of battle in a single moment. That comeback mechanic felt amazing. Oh, and if I remember correctly, this was also the very first “100 Mega Shock” game. The game was later ported to the SNES, Sega Genesis, and PC Engine CD. Among them, the PC Engine version was surprisingly faithful to the arcade original.

The PC Engine was actually so expensive that hardly anyone I knew had one back then. It was sometimes called the “Neo Geo of the 8-bit era” because of its high price. In terms of performance, it was arguably closer to the Super Famicom and Mega Drive, which came a few years later, than to the NES and Sega Master System of the same era. Despite its powerful hardware, the console itself was surprisingly small and cute. And the HuCards, which looked like credit cards, were truly fascinating. I couldn’t believe that an entire game could fit onto such a tiny card. Back then, the PC Engine felt like a unicorn among game consoles to me. Even now, whenever I take it out and play it again, it still feels just as fascinating and special.

Street Fighter II was a massive hit in arcades, but even before that, Final Fight was already incredibly popular. At the time, rumors were circulating that the game would be ported to PC, so when it was suddenly announced for the Super Famicom, it came as a huge shock. Although Guy was missing and two-player co-op wasn’t supported, the mere fact that we could play Final Fight at home felt like a blessing in itself. Looking back now, the Super Famicom version was released in December 1990, when the system’s maximum cartridge size was 8 megabits (1 megabyte). Considering that the arcade version had more than twice that amount of data, it seems clear that these limitations led to those difficult compromises. Beat ’em up games were already popular in arcades before Final Fight, but after its release, the genre truly boomed, eventually leading to Capcom’s finest belt-scrolling action titles—culminating in Dungeons & Dragons, the pinnacle of their beat ’em up legacy.

A few days ago marked the 35th anniversary of the PC Engine Duo. It combined the PC Engine and CD-ROM² into a single console, offering incredible performance compared to its competitors at the time, the Mega Drive and Super Famicom. The PC Engine was released overseas under the name TurboGrafx-16, but perhaps because the system wasn’t fully prepared for the overseas market, far fewer games were released compared to Japan, which was a shame. As a CD-based console, it delivered things that simply weren’t possible with cartridges at the time—spectacular opening sequences, impressive graphics, and incredible CD-quality music and sound. It truly felt like something from another world back then, and even today, it still looks and sounds amazing.

In 1994, the first 32-bit next-generation console appeared, and it was the 3DO. What surprised me the most was that Super Street Fighter II X, which was hugely popular in arcades at the time, was available on this system. I still remember standing in a game shop, completely mesmerized, staring at that game for a long time. I was really hoping it would come out on the Super Famicom too, but maybe because of hardware limitations, it never did. That made it even more shocking. By the way, the model I’m talking about is the 3DO ALIVE 2 made by LG Electronics. For a lot of foreign friends, this is probably something they’ve never seen before.

The PC Engine was an 8-bit console that was designed with CD-ROM support in mind from the very beginning. It also used a very unique add-on system. The PC Engine and the CD-ROM drive were completely separate devices, and you even had to purchase a separate interface unit to connect the two and play CD-ROM games. Because you needed to buy all of these components, the total cost was quite expensive at the time. I never actually saw one in person back then, but even today, I think the build quality, design, and especially the modular add-on concept look incredibly sophisticated. What’s even cooler is that the CD-ROM drive could also be used as an add-on with NEC computers. Pretty cool, right?

Ever since I bought an arcade cabinet, I’ve become really interested in arcade games. Similar to console games, you can buy arcade game PCBs and run them by connecting them directly. Capcom games are a bit unique in that they use a six-button layout, so they require a separate connector, but aside from that, the setup is surprisingly simple. You can also play these games through emulators, but the feeling of enjoying them on real hardware is something else entirely. Super Street Fighter II was the first game for Capcom’s arcade system, CPS2, and compared to CPS1, both the graphics and sound were significantly improved.

I think the hidden command culture for selecting secret characters in arcades probably started with Akuma in Super Street Fighter II X. Not long after the game was released, rumors started spreading around arcades that some people had actually managed to pick Akuma. Then one day, at the arcade I used to visit all the time, I saw someone actually playing as him. I was so shocked that after the match ended, I asked him how to select Akuma. He told me he’d teach me… for 500 won. In the end, I paid the money with tears in my eyes and learned the legendary command. 🤣 Ryu → T. Hawk → Guile → Cammy → Ryu, staying on each character for one second, then hold the Start button and press all punch buttons at the same time.

If I had to pick one of the greatest PC Engine games, this title simply can’t be left out: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Even considering that it was released in 1993, it’s still praised for its incredible level of polish, with outstanding graphics, sound, opening sequence, voice acting, controls, and multiple branching paths. The CD format played a huge role in making all of that possible, which naturally made it stand out compared to competing consoles at the time like the Super Famicom and Mega Drive. If you ever get the chance, it’s definitely a game worth playing at least once.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Virtua Fighter 3. If I had to name the games that shocked me the most with their graphics, Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA, which were released around the same time, would be at the top of the list. The next game to completely blow me away was Virtua Fighter 3. When it was released, the graphics were so far ahead of anything else that I couldn’t think of another game that could even compare. It also featured a variety of stages with snow, sand, and water, and the way those environments were rendered was absolutely incredible. After that, no game really gave me the same kind of graphical shock. Even Virtua Fighter 4, as great as it was, didn’t have the same impact on me as its predecessor.

When you look at games on the PC Engine and Neo Geo—arguably the most powerful 8-bit and 16-bit consoles—it can honestly feel overwhelming. Fatal Fury Special was ported to the PC Engine CD, and at that level, it’s fair to call it an almost perfect conversion. The Super Famicom version suffered from hardware limitations and was handled by Takara, a different company, so the results weren’t particularly impressive. In contrast, the PC Engine CD version of Fatal Fury Special was developed directly by SNK as a test case for CD-based game production before the release of the Neo Geo CD, which explains its exceptionally high level of quality.

The PC Engine was so expensive in the late ’80s and early ’90s that it was hard to find even in the homes of well-off friends. On top of that, it had one of the first CD-ROM add-ons, which made it feel incredibly high-tech at the time. Because of its larger storage capacity, many arcade games were ported to it, and the CD-quality audio was absolutely amazing. The real issue, though, was the price. You had to buy everything separately—the PC Engine itself, the CD interface (docking unit), the CD-ROM drive, the system card, and the game CDs.

Does anyone know this game? I never played it in the arcade, but I had a lot of fun playing it on a PC DOS computer. All you had to do was beat your rival, but they would chase you so closely that the tension was incredible. When you win a race, you can use the prize money to upgrade your car, and with the variety of tracks, it never gets boring. I also have great memories of sitting with my friends, three of us sharing one keyboard and playing together. 😆

Street Fighter is one of the games of my life. When it first showed up in arcades, the impact was incredible. It was the first time I ever felt like I was actually training while playing a game. (1/2)

As a huge fan of the Virtua Fighter series, I was eagerly waiting for Virtua Fighter 5 to hit the arcades. Unfortunately, Sega didn’t sell the arcade hardware and instead operated it through a rental system, so outside of Japan, the game was nearly impossible to find in arcades. Thankfully, with the huge leap in performance of the PS3 and Xbox 360, Virtua Fighter 5 received the first truly complete console port in the series. I remember having so much fun playing it back then. Sadly, in Korea, the Tekken series was so widely available in arcades that very few people even knew about Virtua Fighter 5. It’s a shame that such a great game slowly faded into obscurity. Eventually, the series seemed to lose its momentum, and I thought we would never see a new Virtua Fighter again. So you can imagine how happy I was when Sega announced that they were working on a new entry. Is there anyone out there who has been waiting for a new Virtua Fighter as long as I have?

Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) 2 was the most popular entry in the series. Compared to the first game, it had much better balance, and the additional characters made it far more appealing. Personally, I didn’t like Alpha 3 because it felt too complicated. I played it a lot in arcades, but I think I played it the most on the PlayStation 1. Do you like this game?

The X68000 was one of the best home computers for enjoying classic Konami and Capcom arcade games. Its hardware was so powerful that, aside from the Neo Geo, it was virtually the only system capable of delivering near-perfect arcade conversions at the time. Unfortunately, it was extremely expensive and sold exclusively in Japan, so very few people ever had the chance to experience it. Even today, decades after its release, the quality of its games is still incredibly impressive. Ghouls ’n Ghosts is a perfect example. Compared to the Mega Drive and PC Engine versions, the X68000 port is on an entirely different level in terms of accuracy and overall quality. It’s still amazing to think that a game this good could fit on just two floppy disks.
