Street Smart (US version 2)

Released by SNK in 1989, Street Smart is an action game set against the backdrop of an American martial arts tournament. The game allows players to choose between two protagonists with different fighting styles: a karate expert and a professional wrestler, both controlled using an eight-way joystick and three buttons. While two-player mode allows for cooperative gameplay against enemies, the experience culminates in a head-to-head match between players to determine the winner. As a title in the lineage of early fighting games, Street Smart offers a fascinating glimpse into a period of historical trial and error, revealing character mechanics and game balance that were still clearly in development.
