“It took quite a journey to get here,” laments the host of Geek Battle Gaming in his review of a surprising ZX Spectrum release… Mighty Final Fight, based on the NES game that was based on the arcade game. (Phew.)

In spite of the ZX Spectrum’s handicaps, its port of Mighty Final Fight is reasonably close to the NES game, and certainly looks more playable than the Spectrum port of Final Fight that was officially released by US Gold. (UK Aluminum is more like.)

Let me tell you, if you have any reverence for Final Fight, nearly any home computer port of the game will twist your stomach in knots. (Except the X68000 version, which actually IS Final Fight, but good luck actually getting one of those stupidly expensive Japanese computers from the 1980s. Even the mini version of that system is eye-wateringly pricey.)
