Fighting Street for the TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine[edit]

Street Fighter was ported under the title Fighting Street in 1988 for the PC Engine CD ROM in Japan (the first video game in the world on CD-ROM format) and 1989 for the TurboGrafx-CD in North America. This version features an arranged soundtrack. Due to the lack of a six-button controller available for the TurboGrafx-16 at the time this version was released, the strength level of the attacks were determined by how long either of the action buttons were held. This version was published by NEC Avenue in North America and Hudson Soft in Japan and was developed by Alfa System. The cover artwork featured Mount Rushmore, which was one of the locations in the game.
