TCW Podcast Episode 41 - Beating Them All Up   We delve into beat 'em ups, and fighters.  We cover why they did not take hold until computer technology progressed far enough to allow for human analogs to be animated well.  We go into the beat 'em up craze, and then the transition to fighting games that occurred with the release of Street Fighter II.  We touch on the fall of fighting games from the mainstream with Tekken and Soul Calibur.  The scene is still out there, and has a dedicated following.  However fighters are not the system sellers they once were.   Warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX4NspoYD8o Jungle Hunt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPATWODXlh4 Apple II Karateka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKqk9kosCs4 Spartan X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jncBelS_Nhk Karate Champ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwV3xqS9_aQ Renegade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1fl38u9I9k Double Dragon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfZz-1e-dUQ Yie Ar Kung Fu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXOL8tZQX20 Street Fighter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8al2U4xSFNQ  Final Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyAHGHo22Og Fatal Fury: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG17S8yRz6A Street Fighter II World Warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI284D4y1q4 An Oral History of Street Fighter II: http://www.polygon.com/a/street-fighter-2-oral-history NARC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3jonU-XrK4 Mortal Kombat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F82XAvCuVc Virtual Fighter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-9TUlCcib0 Tekken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GmSF_PqL84 Soul Edge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgb64WBw_Ww Soul Calibur Arcade VS Dreamcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Rdg6A-KJs   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Alex's Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
