I chose the arcade game Street Fighter 2. This
was kind of a bias choice because I grew up playing Street Fighter, Tekken, and
similar fighting games, so that is why I chose SF. Even though the art or art
quality isn’t as satisfying versus today’s games art quality, it brought back
many fond memories of my childhood. In the past, I had chosen either Ken or
Ryu, my favorite characters in Street Fighter. This time, I played as Ken. Unfortunately,
I lost while fighting against another character in the game. Overall, it was
more difficult than I remember in order to win in the game, so that was
definitely disappointing.

In an emulator, the controller is the keyboard,
which can get very confusing. At the beginning, I thought the controls was W,
A, S, and D on the keyboard, but it was Shift, Alt, Space, and Ctrl. Another
difference is that for original hardware, the game can be play on different
screens and as big as 48 inches screen, while on an emulator, there’s a limit
on size. With that, emulator can be more convenient because it can be on a
laptop so one can bring the game anywhere to play.
