Street Fighter II: the tale of the world warrior

No, it's not a new upgrade of the classic fighter, it's the latest addition to 1up's 'The Essential 50' or "the most important games ever made".  The game that singlehandly revived the early-90s arcade scene, hails at #32. In my humble opinion, this is a bit fo low blow, but then again, I'm perhaps too young to understand the significance of games like 'Rogue' and 'M.U.L.E.'. I'm saying, Street Fighter II changed a lot of little boys' lives, and I for one, will always carry a soft spot in my heart for the World Warrior. At any rate, it's a top-notch article documenting the history of the game, from its roots to its progeny. If you're feeling nostaglic take a minute and visit the link below.
