Final Fight
The first Final Fight game for the SNES might not be perfect, but its still a good game overall. This one pretty much set up the formula that the rest of the games would follow. Basically, you beat the crap out of an onslaught of enemies using a variety of punch, kick, and grapple combos. At the end of each stage you normally fight a tough (or cheap) boss. A simple, but working process nonetheless. There's only two characters to play as. This includes Hagger and Cody, but Guy is no where to be found. Luckily, Hagger and Cody are different enough from one another to warrant play as both. Hagger can pick up most enemies and has the best grapple moves. Whereas Cody's specialty lies in quick hand to hand combat. The two player option was hacked from this version for some reason. And it does suck not being able to play with a friend, but FF still makes for a good single player romp. Again Final Fight is a good game, but not the arcade perfection you would expect.
