Are the good old days of gaming, I can still remember the first day I ever saw Street Fighter 2. It was in an arcade in the Isle of White and me and my brother just saw a game you couldn't get anywhere near to it due to the crowds. Took us a couple of days to get a chance to play it.
Always like the original, I too had the Amiga version and at the time I was just glad to play it. (But it is a truly rubbish version)
By the time I'd got my SNES I had really loss interested in Street Fighter 2 truth be told, by turbo it was beginning to get old and by Super Turbo, you where just fed up with SF2 (A shame really as SSF2T, is one of the best beat'em ever made) the fact that games like X-Men: Children of the Atom were coming out at the same time didn't help it.
For me it wasn't until I spent two weeks in Spain playing Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter that I decided to get back into the swing of Street Fighter. Bought the Street Fighter Collection as soon as I got back and the rest as they say is history.
These days I'm luck to have practiced against a Street Fighter 2 champion, even if he does beat me almost every time.
I've been playing Street Fighter 2 HD on 360 as soon as I got my 360 hooked to live and if you haven't already I would recommend everyone here pick it up. And if anyone up for a Christmas bout over live let me know me know.

I don't think age is a factor in who could you are, SF2 is one of those games as long as you keep playing it you'll just get better. But as soon as you stop playing it you lose your skills rather quickly.
