Top 10 Classic games of all time

#5 Street Fighter II

Street Fighter II is a classical fighting game which is highly regarded as the best competitive fighting game to have ever released in 1991. This game is the sequel for the first game of the series Street Fighter which was released in 1987. Street Fighter II improved upon the many concepts introduced in the first game, including the use of command-based special moves and a six-button configuration, while offering players a selection of multiple playable characters, each with their own unique fighting style.

This game was established as the benchmark for other game developers who popularized this genre. In 1993, sales of Street Fighter II exceeded $1.5 billion in gross revenues and by 1994, the game had been played by at least 25 million in their homes and in arcades.

Street Fighter II was followed by a series of updated versions, each refining the game’s mechanics, graphics, character roster and other aspects. Super Street Fighter II Turbo was released in 1994 and was the last of the Street Fighter II released for arcades.
