Golgothoughts – Street Fighter Is Older Than Crack

Golgothoughts – Street Fighter Is Older Than Crack

The Street Fighter franchise turns 25 this year, which got me thinking about what didn’t exist when Street Fighter hit arcades in 1987.

Here’s a short list of just what emerged the year after Street Fighter was born:

  • Crack Cocaine
  • Rain Man, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Big, Twins, Die Hard, and The Naked Gun
  • The Simpsons, Baywatch, Married with Children
  • Rihanna, Michael Cera, Emma Stone
  • PC Viruses
  • Hubble Space Telescope
  • Stealth Bombers
  • Prozac

Sounds like 1987 was a great year to be alive, which I was, because I’m a dinosaur.
