Street Fighter (video Game)
is a 1987 arcade game developed by Capcom. It is the first competitive fighting game produced by the company and the first installment in the ''Street Fighter'' series. It was a commercial success in arcades and introduced special attacks and some of the conventions made standard in later fighting games, such as the six-button controls and the use of command-based special moves. ''Street Fighter'' was directed by Takashi Nishiyama, who conceived it by adapting the boss battles of his earlier beat 'em up game '' Kung-Fu Master'' (1984) for a one-on-one fighting game, and by drawing influence from popular Japanese shōnen manga. A port for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx CD console was released as in 1988, and was re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2009. Its sequel, '' Street Fighter II'' (1991), evolved its gameplay with phenomenal worldwide success. ''Street Fighter'' also spawned two spiritual successors, Capcom's beat 'em up ''Final Fight'' (working title ''Street Fi ...

Hiroshi Matsumoto (Kurt Vonnegut Character)
''Hocus Pocus, or What's the Hurry, Son?'' is a 1990 novel by Kurt Vonnegut. Plot summary In an editor's note at the beginning of the book, Vonnegut claims to have found hundreds of scraps of paper of varying sizes, from wrapping paper to business cards, sequentially numbered by their author to form a narrative. The breaks between pieces of paper often signal a sort of ironic "punchline". The main character is Eugene Debs Hartke, a Vietnam War veteran and carillonneur who realizes that he has killed exactly as many people as the number of women he has had sex with. The character's name is an homage to American labor and political leader Eugene V. Debs and anti-war senator Vance Hartke, both from Vonnegut's home state, Indiana. Upon his discharge from the military, Hartke becomes a professor at Tarkington College in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, but is later fired for sexual misconduct. Hartke then becomes a teacher at a private prison in the nearby town of Scipio. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
