This is where fighting games hit the media's attention. Mortal Kombat 2, a sequel which created the rating system we have today. I did play this but I am always gonna be a Street Fighter man.

Have you ever played a game that screams Japanese culture than this does? A game which hardly saw any copies compared to other huge titles of the era. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64. One of the only games we received over here in the west and I loved it it. My cousin Stefan and I go over this gem and wonder why we don't see more of it.

After our failed attempt of being nice to Mario Brothers 2, myself and CPC are looking at Mario Brothers 3 to see I can be nice about it. Super Mario Brothers 3 was the welcome return Mario to the system. I had fond memories of this, although Super Mario World was my first, I got to play this later on.

Although I do love Tekken, Street Fighter Alpha 3 was heavily played on my PlayStation 1. Myself and Chris discuss the last of the Alpha series released by Capcom and discuss whether it was really as good as I thought it was.
