The DOS version of Street Fighter II was ported by Hi Tech Expressions in 1992. It has better graphics than the console versions, but everything else is worse especially the controls. The 6 button controls were replaced with two buttons, you could use the keyboard or joystick. Gamepads were not common yet at the time. The game was unbalanced because Dhalsim was the best character in the game, for some strange reason his moves took priority over the other fighters, and his slide covers the entire screen. Long load times, and high system requirements for the day. SFII PC requires a 386 and recommends a 486. There are only 5 songs in this version and 29 sound effects. For some reason the title theme is played in the fights, I personally liked that though. This version was an enjoyable alternative, and I can see it being more fun if you didn't own a console back then. There was a bootleg version which many people consider superior but still not as good as the other releases.
