Spent a fortune of my money/my parents' money/occasionally my friends' and friends' parents' money in quarters on this and-- especially-- Champion Edition back in the day. Incredibly influential and for my money still the benchmark for fighting games. Later games made improvements (Street Fighter 3, in particular-- underappreciated genius)/added bells and whistles (all the Super, Turbo, Alpha, etc., games) to the formula, but this is still the godfather and a total classic.
