Bought this when working in Germany with the intent of playing SFII tournaments with a load of wee neds but instead we got obsessed with 3rd Strike for the first time. Went online (like, onto the free web browser of the single PC in the hotel's lobby) and learned about buffering moves and parries and overheads and just played Ryu versus Ryu with Jim obsessively.

The version of SFII lets you choose from different iterations of each character but we weren't expert enough to know the differences at the time.

You could also play online but the lag made it very difficult and the few players on there were pretty experienced. It also included the dreadful cartoon.

Really good times. A lot of half chickens and chips were eaten also.
