Street Fighter 2010

As I lay here on the couch it's hard to imagine twenty years have passed since I first played Street Fighter 2010 on Nintendo. If anything, I can definitely feel it in my joints. On a cool morning my hands and wrists sound like popcorn no doubt caused from investing my youth in videogames.

Anyways in this game we find "Ken" who had no interest in exploring the frontier until his friend and partner (perhaps he turned homosexual) was found as a "pile of jelly" on the floor. It's been years since Ken was king of the street fighting circuit but "that's nothing that a few bionics can't handle".

This game has great graphics and beautiful sound. It almost makes up for the dumb plot and lousy controls. Each stage is a glorified bass battle. You shoot a short range weapon and can do more moves by pressing in certain directions and pressing b. You can jump climb and throw your controller in anger because killing the bosses are pretty difficult.

I 've never beatened the game because after four or five continues on the first planet shouldn't be necessary. It's too difficult to be fun. In later stages the screen has to auto-scroll (like an airship level from Super Mario Bros. 3) and if you die on the boss you start over having to scroll through the level again.

I'll re-emphasize that this game is beautiful including the advertisements for a strip club. But outside of that the game is a few hours worth of aggrevation.
