07.06.2025 - Video: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for C64/C128 - Demo 2 free for download
In this video you can find some updates on the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo game that RetroGL (Gianluca Alberico) is creating for C64/C128 platforms using his RetroFighter engine. This adaptation of SSF2T for CBM platforms is based on the GameBoy Advance version called SSF2T Revival, but obviously my version will have something different. The game is planned to be executed on a 1Mbyte EasyFlash or Kung Fu Flash cartridge. You can download and and test the game for free with the link in the video description.
