Alpha 3 or 3rd strike. I like MVC2 also but it's a bit too spazzy for me.

Fatal Fury or Street Fighter (any early version).

*golf clap* for Rogue and MoralPanic for posting absolute non-sense in this thread.

Turbo is too fast, and I can beat that game with one quarter usually. The AI is so dumb.

Which Street Fighter?

Champion Ed.

I concur....I actually bought my own Street Fighter II Champ Ed. coin-op. Ahhh...the memories!!:D

I thought Killer Instinct was a good coin-op as well.

How much did it cost you?

I think it was like $700 bux, I can't remember the exact number anymore. However, the kicker is, that I also got Killer Instinct I as part of the deal too! The guy rewired the Coin-op (full size Street Fighter II Champ. Ed) so that I could switch between KI and SF2. :D
