Super Street Fighter II Turbo, in all its superlative glory, was released for Super Nintendo in 1994. I never personally owned a copy, nor did I ever follow the series into its later incarnations. Yet that game made an indelible impression on me during long nights of my childhood I spent in my cozy basement.
I don’t want to negatively characterize online gamers, nor do I want to take online gaming away from anyone. It just troubles me that the authentic multiplayer experience, between friends in close quarters, is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Whenever I hear about the latest online multiplayer sensation, I can’t help but think back to my evenings with Street Fighter II and feel that something has been lost between then and now.
