Street Fighter 2 is the arcade classic that basically invented fighting games as we know them. You pick Ryu (or whoever—I always go for Ken because fire punches are cooler) and throw down in that pixel-perfect 2D arena. The controls take a second to get used to—A/S/D for punches, Z/X/C for kicks—but once you nail that Hadoken motion (A+S real quick), it feels so good.

Fair warning: Sagat’s a beast in this version. His Tiger Uppercut hits like a truck, and the AI cheats a little. But landing a Shoryuken right as he jumps in? Pure satisfaction. The music’s still hype, too—that Chun-Li stage theme lives in my head rent-free.

Just don’t forget to click "Permi Qui Per Giocare" when it loads. No idea what it means, but it works.
