Final Fight: The Most Disappointing Ports

Final Fight set the standard for arcade beat ’em ups, but not all home conversions lived up to it.

This video compares what I consider to be some of the most disappointing home ports of Final Fight, focusing on how the game was adapted to very different hardware.

The comparison highlights key visual, technical, and gameplay differences between the original arcade version and several 16-bit and 8-bit computer ports.

Versions featured:

Arcade
Atari ST
Amiga
Commodore 64 / C64
ZX Spectrum
Amstrad CPC

Each version is shown side by side to illustrate how hardware limitations shaped the final result.
