  1. Further Adventures with the MISTer - Mighty Final Fight

    Some more 8-bit love, this time across two formats.

    Mighty Final Fight appeared on the #NES in 1993 and was a super-deformed, somewhat satirical offshoot of their seminal arcade beat-em-up, Final Fight.

    Like its arcade big brother, Mighty is a fight and go right brawler. These games all rely on the same 30 seconds of gameplay - making the fighting fun.

    The best of these games, like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon, add variety to their attacks and Mighty doesn't disappoint - jumping kicks, throws and unlockable special moves, combined with slick controls and smooth graphics make for a great beat-em-up.

    I'd never played the NES game but was led to it by a well-regarded, 2018 homebrew conversion for the #zxspectrum128 . Considering the limitations of the Speccy, this is a killer version and has a great tutorial showing the special moves and because of the 128k's superior FM sound, the music is a lot better than the warbled beeps that usually grace the system.

    I had a lot of fun playing and researching both of these.
