Street Fighter the Movie, (on my blog)

Way back in the day, (1993ish) I was involved with the development of a game called Street Fighter The Movie. Turns out that it ended up being not so good. Fighting game fans pretty much despised it, especially the die hard Street Fighter fans. (Myself included.)

Earlier this year, I posted about that project on the forums of Shoryuken.com, a website dedicated to competetive fighting game playing. My aim was to shed a little light on process and perhaps explain why certain things ended up being the way they were in that game.

The thread went on to become one of the most popular on the site, spanning nineteen pages. The major gaming blogs and news sites picked it up, and my little slice of the story has skyrocketed past a hundred and seventy five thousand views as of this date.

So now I'll follow it up with a few goodies!

The original post is here, full of follow up Q&A throughout, as well as a lot of fun fan reaction:

I scanned in a few pics from my personal photo album, which are good for a few laughs. (Go easy on the clothing and hairstyle in the comments section... it was the early 90's. Grunge was huge.)
