Rediscovering Street Fighter 2 on the Mega Drive | Peter Hughes
I picked up Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition for the Mega Drive and it sent me straight back to the early 90s. The best part was finally using a six button controller the way it was meant to be used. It always looked futuristic when I was a kid. I remember thinking it would change everything. In reality, only a handful of games really used it properly. Why it still holds up The graphics and sound are not as magical as I remembered, but the gameplay still is. Tight controls, clear feedback, and enough depth to keep you learning. It is a reminder that good design lasts. A small note on hobbies Some of the best ideas in tech come from play. Not from hustle. Not from pressure. From curiosity. So yes, this one is a nostalgia post. But it is also a tiny reminder that joy is worth protecting.
