I felt the same about Super Mario Bros. At the time it was just nothing new.

I agree, but SFII was incremental improvement. It wasn't like it created the fighter genre. There were load of fighting games around before and during SFII hit the scene. Of course it was the most popular but the point i'm making is that, historically, it was nothing new.

The fighting game genre was invented years before Street Fighter 1. Like I say they were underwhelming.

Street Fighter 1 had no impact whatsoever, and I could never understand street Fighter 2's popularity.

Thanks for reading. We'll never see anything like the technology leap we had back in the late 70's early 80's ever again. I mean, even the internet wasn't that great a leap. Simply connecting PCs.

Honestly, I couldn't be more envious. There's nothing left here.

By the time the 90's came along, the Arcade scene was on it's final breathe in my home.

Its is my personal favourites, but also I'm hoping to not miss out anything important. It's also a trip down memory lane to, its not just about the games. it's a about the era too. Thanks for spending the time to read it, and more to follow soon!

Thanks for reading and also for confirming my initial observations. Narodni had a really big impact (as I'm sure you can tell)

Would love to here more to add more details to the article, so could I ask you to comment there too, I'd really appreciate it.

I'd recommend starting on acoustic too. It's the quickest and cheapest route to entry.
