Just a reminder that our friend Brick Nash took 3 years to finish it.
Yes, it wasn't his full time job, but I assume these days tools are a lot easier in managing graphics for example, then back then, or finding an answer to coding questions... and this version requires minimum 2MB Chip (and Aplin's port requires only 512kb).

The SNES version wasn't perfect with 1-player only but it was good enough to sell hardware.The Amiga version was an embarrassment and US Gold should have given Aplin more time and cared about QA!


For modern Final Fight fun try Street Fighter '89: The Final Fight on OpenBOR!
