Street Fighter II Champion Edition (PSP): COMPLETED!
Another game from that Capcom Classics compilation I bought a while ago, although infinitely better than the terrible Exed Exes. But then, most things are. Usually, when I play Street Fighter games, I pick Kenneth. He’s the best, of course, and his blond locks are far more enticing and suggest he’s far more fun than boring Ryu. I mean, Kenneth drives fast cars and loves the odd drink, but Ryu spends his evenings meditating on the floor of his bedroom …
Exed Exes (PSP): COMPLETED!
OK, so technically it’s on the Vita, and really it’s an arcade game (it’s on Capcom Classics Reloaded), but since it’s a download for the PSP I’m classing it as a PSP game. I think that’s in line with my usual logic for the likes of the Wii U Virtual Console. Not that it really matters.

3D Space Harrier (3DS): COMPLETED!
This week, the long awaited 3D Classics from Sega finally made it to the 3DS in Europe. Well, two games did, anyway, with more to come.

Many, many years ago, I was the champion of Space Harrier at this here arcade in Southport: View Larger Map Good times. I’d go there a few times a year and I’d still be at …
Time Pilot (360)
Time Pilot was on the Xbox Live Arcade downloads thingy today. I have played it a bit before (and actually have a copy of it on Konami Arcade Advanced for the GBA), but I don’t remember it being very good, nor me being very good at it. So I bought it anyway (400 points, about £3.40-ish), and it’s great. I think it’s the online leaderboards that make it – just like Pac-Man and Frogger and all the other arcade “classics”. …
Final Fight: FINALLY FOUGHT!
I completed this many years ago on the Amiga, and thought it was pretty good back then. I’ve just been playing (and completing) it on Capcom Classics Collection on the Xbox, and the arcade version is about ten billion times better. The controls, the animation, the sound – everything. I suppose that’s what you’d expect, but still… Anyway, the final boss was actually one of the easier ones in the game. Three Andores at the same time, with assorted fat …
