Which one? The neutured SNES version with the gray blood (remember that? ) or the real version on Genesis? Well, whichever one it was, you were probably way the hell too young to buy it on your own at the time. <

The home version came out in 1993, a year after hitting the arcades. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the

What I am going to talk about -- and I am going to say this consistently -- [is that] it is irrelevant what I did 20 to 30 years ago. What's relevant is that I have learned from any mistakes I made. I do not want to send signals to anybody that what Gov. Bush did 30 years ago is cool to try."—George W. Bush<i></i>

Yeah, I remember when it first came out. My cousins had the SNES version, though I never really cared to play it. As a member of the Street Fighter II generation, I didn't like the fact that you had to hit a button just to block. I just couldn't get used to it. The fatalities were actually still novel back then, though. I remember thinking Scorpion's (the one where he takes off his mask and roasts you into a skeleton) was the coolest of the bunch. <
