Designed by Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto, the player took control of lone martial artist Ryu, competing in a world wide martial arts tournament spanning five countries and ten opponents. A second player could join in at any time and take control of Ryu’s rival, Ken.
The player could perform three types of punch and kick attacks (which varied in speed and strength) and three special attacks: the Hadouken, Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku.
Street Fighter was ported to many popular home computer systems of the time including PC. In 1988, it was released on the NEC Avenue TurboGrafx-CD console under the new name Fighting Street.
Street Fighter was later included in Capcom Classics Collection: Remixed for the PlayStation Portable and Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
