Street Fighter II, Spin when you cant

▤ Summary

This was a problem for a game like Street Fighter II where the attract mode involves spinning the logo, scaling it up, while displaying a translucent "World Warrior" text underneath. If you were around in 1991, you may remember the effect was weird but it was difficult to tell what since it was spinning so fast and the CRT blurred things quite a bit. Mame can record a pixel perfect image sequence in mng format to let us look at each frame separately. One year later, in March 1992, Capcom released a much improved version called "Champion Edition". They did a superb job, managing to have all the characters, moves and beautiful GFX despite using a game console with less capacity and lower resolution.
