Street Fighter 2 - Atari ST / STE
Ойындар
In this video, Street Fighter 2 - The World Warriors, released in 1993 for the Atari ST by U.S.Gold.
The famous sequel of the franchise, SF2 has become a legend, a coin-op that devoured many coins to give hours of excitement and fun. It would take a mega/giga/tera wall of text to describe everything about this game but, chances are that you already know what it is and how it works, so let's dive into the ST port. After having seen the conversion of the first Street Fighter I think it's hard to do worse, even if your name is U.S.Gold and yes, SF2 is much better that the previous one but it's not that great game that should have been. Maybe the ST started to feel the weight of ages, maybe the programmers should have made an STE version, maybe U.S.Gold wasn't up to the task.
Despite the hardware limitations of the original ST, graphically SF2 is not bad at all, the sprites are big but poorly animated, the background colored and faithful to the original but the scrolling is not smooth. The audio is good, with nice music and digital speech. The jerkyness of the animations, the laggy controls, the one button joystick, the continous disk swapping, and general slowliness make the experience unsatisfactory. At least it's not easy to play as the first Street Fighter.
Here you'll find introduction and gameplay with Ryu and Blanka.

Now, this is a lot better than SF. It still gets hate from people who call it the worst version, but seriously, for the system, it was done quite well. But in 1995, an STE version would have been much more appropriate and better.

So Many happy memories of my Childhood. I really dont remember the graphics on the Atari ST being that bad. Dhalsim was my favourite character.
I remember getting it for my Falcon and not working. I remember exchanging it for something else and playing it on my friend's 286 with VGA mono, probably the unofficial version. I remember when I first played a patched version for the Falcon. 16 Mhz 68030 and 14Mb of RAM made no difference. This was much better on the PC. I think that it would have been better if today we were whining about the game not being ported to the ST, than actually having this as a port. And I don't think they did a bad job. Not at all, it's just that the ST wasn't at all suited for SF2.
Proudly Presents :p
Are things improved by using the mega ste 16hz mode?

I don't know but IMHO the only thing to make it run better is by rewriting the code of the entire game from scratch
Un jeu pareil c'était sur ste qu'il fallait le porter avec la prise en charge du hardware. Et même la prise en charge des manettes sur les deux ports gauches du ste. Ports qui n'ont malheureusement pas été exploités à part quelques jeux utilisant la manette de la Jaguar. On peut pas passer d'une manette SNES avec 6 boutons a un joy 1 bouton sans perdre en jouabilité. Et on va pas parler du framerate aux fraises... Ils n'auraient jamais dû sortir cette conversion dans l'état. Ça rend pas hommage au jeu de base et on sent que c'est là pour faire de l'argent.
Man I thought the amiga version was bad.
this days people buy 3D games not cartoon , pausedly games that's money thrown away try to make it better like small CD and 2 extra moves but not cartoonly and pausedly

@@andresreynosa9818 il y a effectivement eu un CD-ROM pour Atari en 1994. Du moins mes magasines St mag en parlait cette année la. Je crois avoir trouvé quelques CD-ROM pour la machine sur le net. Mais pas un seul jeu commercial. Le CD-ROM Atari n'avait aucun avenir face au pc qui était déjà bien implanté. Même si le CD-ROM avait apporté un énorme espace de stockage, la puissance des machines, falcon compris, n'aurait pas été suffisante pour afficher quelque chose de beaucoup mieux que ce que les machines pouvaient faire. Un exemple, le mega cd. Certes on avait des cinématiques mais les jeux étaient bridés par la puissance de la megadrive. Pareil pour la pc engine cd. On rajoute à ca le fait que les machines n'avaient généralement pas de disque dur pour stocker une partie des données. En dehors des falcon et autres tt. Mais les joueurs étaient plus sur st/ste. Bref le CD-ROM n'aurait rien changé à l'avenir des ataristes. 😢
the Atary they got is not out to get me cause it looks pausedly plus the songs keeps same over and over like wen you choose a character the song stays all the round that sucks cartoon and pausedly ain't my tiped they should make Atary CD neo-geo that'll works
I don't know how the ST Format reviewer could give this shoddy port from US Gold a very high score. I stopped trusting any game review from Future Publishing even now...
Pointless. Way too Slow.
