Developer Str1der has rebuilt Street Fighter II from the ground up for the Amiga, using AI to optimize the code and deliver a version that matches the original arcade experience more closely than the 1992 US Gold port. The new build includes all stages, full two-player joystick support, bug fixes, the bonus stages, and a 50 fps engine with graphics ripped from the PC-Engine, using up to 45 colors on OCS/ECS (80 on AGA) and preserving all 250 animation frames. It runs on standard Amiga hardware (68000/ECS with 1 MB chip RAM, or faster 68020/AGA systems) and is available for download as source code.
