Street Fighter 2 (Amstrad CPC) - Games That Weren't Our next entry into the archives is one which has tormented Amstrad CPC users for many many years. But were they then perhaps saved from the lack of a Street Fighter 2 conversion?

After initial investigations, it's now confirmed that Street Fighter 2 on the Amstrad CPC WAS developed by Nick Vincent (who did Final Fight CPC), along with graphics by Adam Steele. A breakthrough - though Nick remains elusive. More twists & turns due?
