===============================================================================
                            | 2. Game Info |

Final Fight is a 2D beatem up that made its way to the Commodore 64 in 1991.
Although this port is heavily edited from the Arcade version due to the
hardware limitations, it's still enjoyable to the old school nostalgia fans.

The game also features a 2 player copo on the same screen.

                               | Ports |

This port is missing the stage music but has a local copo mode and all three
characters to choose from. The graphics were downgraded from the arcade/SNES
version due to the system's limitations. You can also enable cheat codes
directly from the start like infinite life and skipping stages.

The game was ported to many platforms up to IOS in 2011. The best port is
arguably Final Fight One for the Gameboy Advance as it includes the Industrial
Area stage as well as Street Fighter Alpha version of Guy and Cody and other
extras.

Since this port comes on a commodore floppy, the load times are kinda long
for an older games where no loading were presented at all. As a result,
sometimes the game would crash when loading as well as the floppy disk itself
fail due to time and treatment. A tape version is also available and is more
common to find.

List of Ports:

Final Fight      - SNES
Final Fight Guy  - SNES

Final Fight      - Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad
                    CPC

Final Fight      - Sharp X68000 (Japan)

Final Fight CD   - SEGA CD

Final Fight One  - Gameboy Advance

Final Fight      - IOS

Other ports:

Capcom Classics Collection, Final Fight: Streetwise and
Final Fight: Double Impact.

===============================================================================
                            | 3. The Basics |

The object of the game is very simple, move forward while smashing enemies
and picking power ups along the way. A basic side scroller.

There are two stage where you have to destroy objects instead of fighting
people. One of them is destroying a car before the timer runs out as in
Street fighter 2 while the other is moving forward destroying boards. Both
of the stages are playable via copo as well as single player.

                               | Options |

Upon loading the game Disk, you will be presented with a few options that you
can turn on and off. These options are more of a cheat than options as they
help make the game easier. For a true challenge and arcade feel, make sure to
keep them all off.

Do you wanna kill the punks with 1 hit?
 (If yes then be sure to turn on life+!)

F1 - Unlimited Lives : NO/YES
F3 - Unlimited Credit: NO/YES
F5 - Unlimited Time:   No/YES
F7 - Smash Away!! - To start the game.

===============================================================================
                               | Controls |

The controls are very simple and straightforward.

                Walk up
                   |
       Walk Left - O - Walk Right
                   |
               Walk Down


Actions:

Grab: Walk into the enemy.
Throw: After walking into an enemy, turn left or right.
Punch: Punch enemies.
Jump Kick: Jump and hit the punch key to kick in air.

You can use the Sega Genesis controller out of the box without any
modifications as the controller port fits and buttons work directly.
I highly recommend playing this and other commodore 64 games using
this controller as its comfortable to hold and play with.

Even the Genesis's Arcade Stick works fine although the 3DO controller
is not compatible eve though it has the same port.

                        | Enemies and powerups |

There are many types of enemies from the normal thugs to the powered up big
guys. Most of them have similar bar power with the exception of the big guys
and the final boss who shoots at you.

There is a bandit type who throws knives at you as well. All enemies handle
the same with jump kick is the best strategy.

Power Ups range from weapons that can be used to a limit to health
regenerators. Some environment obstacles can be broken to obtain a
hidden pickup.

===============================================================================
                                | Stages |

The basic of each stage is to get from the start to its finish killing
everyone in your path collecting powerups and not running out of lives.

There are three exceptions.

1. Car smash stage

Similar to Street Fighter’s car smash. You have to destroy a car within a time
limit.

2. Advertisement Boards smash stage.

Same as the car stage except you will need to move forward smashing boards on
your way.

3. Mini Boss

A wrestling ring stage where you fight one enemy and no one else. Another
stage is the Elevator. You fight people as the elevator keeps going up with
Rolento from Street Fighter Alpha as a boss at the end.

===============================================================================
