It is the fighter series that has enjoyed major success. Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are some of the games that are widley admired owing to the fighting moves.

The reason these games are still around is because they are intense. There is a tremendous flurry of button-pressing and joystick manipulating during play, and this is exciting. These games have been a major influence on more sophisticated later games such as “Dead or Alive.” This is no small achievement.
