In 1989 Final Fight was impressive and the game is still fun, it should not be considered a bad game.
Final Fight 2 is good but has boring stage and boss design. The super moves and brancing paths in 3 are good but the design is even worse than 2. 2 and 3 just don't have the charm and soul of the original. The only thing that sucks about 1 is Cody. He is so lame. He should have been replaced with someone else, like a girl character.
The Punisher & Alien vs. Predator are great. I'd have both arcade versions already if they weren't so hard to find and expensive.
