The birth of fighting games came long before Capcom's juggernaut sequel landed in arcades in 1991. In fact, the first one-on-one fighting game is considered to be Cinematronics' Warrior (1978), which featured vector graphics of two knights fighting over an overlay with a top-down perspective. The next fighting game did not appear for a long time due to the decline faced by video games in the early eighties, but made a huge comeback when Karate Champ was released by Data East in 1984. Karate Champ was the first true two-player fighting game, featuring two joysticks for controls for each player. Following on the heels of Karate Champ was Konami's Yie Ar Kung-Fu, which debuted in 1985 with impressive graphics (for the time) that featured detailed backgrounds in an arena setting. Set on releasing their own fighting game for the arcade, Japanese arcade manufacturer Capcom began planning their own game featuring the best elements of both Karate Champ and Yie Ar Kung-Fu. The earliest Street Fighter video games were not rated. The first Street Fighter video game that was rated was Street Fighter Alpha. From then on, as the rating boards for video games were established, they were rated T for Teen by the ESRB, 12 and up by the CERO, and then in 2006, 12 was replaced by B, and 12+ by the PEGI, and M by the OFLC. |
