Best Game of 1996.--Gamest magazine, Japan
Street Fighter Alpha 2, one of the most successful 2D fighting games ever, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $2.39 for the next 24 hours!
[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/street_fighter_alpha_2][/url]Street Fighter Alpha 2 features many iconic Street Fighter characters like Chun-Li, Ryu, and Zangief, as well as some new challengers from the Final Fight series. For the first time in history, Sagat can face Sodom and Ken can beat the living hell out of Guy. Or maybe the other way around? All eighteen hardcore contestants are in their peek fighting shape, so just about anything can happen! Prove yourself in eight subsequent matches, discover your secret rival, and face your ultimate opponent. Let the tournament begin!
In 1996 Street Fighter Alpha 2 graced our screens as one of the last 2D fighting games with classic graphics. With the astounding animated backgrounds, and perfect character design, this game is a monumental achievement in pixel art. If not for anything else, the aesthetics alone make it an obligatory addition to any fighting game fan collection. Apart from the looks, it brings some fresh ideas to the table, replacing the Chain Combo mechanics with free-form Custom Combos, and introducing separate Alpha Counters for punch and kick attacks.
Kick hard, punch fast, and launch devastating combos in Street Fighter Alpha 2, for only $2.39 on GOG.com! The offer will last until Tuesday, February 5, at 10:59AM GMT.
With this, we're kicking off with our new GOG Gem Promo schedule. From now on, you'll get two of them every week: a classic title will be discounted each Monday, while Wednesday will give you a discount on one of our newer titles. This way, both indie and retro fans get a Gem each week!
