I actually beat this game way back when I was a kid (on the home system, not at the arcade—that would have cost a "fortune"). It's a classic game though; it'd be neat to see a remake of it sometime. Thanks for posting this, it was fun to remember :) Wow, this definitely brings back memories.

Mainly because I could never get to the end. I remember when this game came out in my elementary school years my parents were turned off by the "violence" of the game. Little did they know that this pails in comparison to some of the games that are out there now. As whether this has anything in common with a real street fight, I feel that the fact that this is a game already discredits this as being "as realistic" to a real fight in any way. I have yet to be caught in street fight but I have been the eye witness to numerous ones and real fights are controlled chaos events. There's no planning, nothing pretty, and you really don't know what's going to happen next. Things happen faster than you can think and next thing you know the other party has already crossed a few boundaries and into your face. Though, wouldn't it be nice for all fights to be like "Final Fight"? Just press the red button, or the blue button, or both as the same time. :) Man, this game brings back memories!
