Didn't this game later develop into the "Street Fighter 2" series? I think this game came out in the late eighties on a hucard for NEC's Turbografix-16 (PC-Engine), judging from the date of its release this soundtrack must have been quite a find.

A lot of great soundtracks accompained the games made for the NEC's ill-fated hucard and CD-consoles. Unforutnately, many of PC Engine soundtrack versions were never released. And if there was a CD release the music was a port from the older PC version. Usually, the PC version used a weaker sound chip, making the tunes sound dull and repetitive. Many of the early ported "Y's" CD soundtracks came from the inferior PC sound chips.

I hope someday some coproation in Japan releases a PC-Engine boxset containing the most memorable game soundtracks from NEC's halcyon days. Probably not, but you never know.

Congratulations on your find and thanks for the info.
Best,
Jeremy

Hello. Fighting Street the game was actually Street Fighter 1 in the arcade. The tracks in the arcade were OK, but the Fighting Street CD soundtrack is actually a re-recorded soundtrack using real synthesizers and nothing from the PC-ENGINE hardware. It truly is worth picking up on ebay, it plays fine in regular cd players. There are 25 tracks, the first track contains a disclaimer for the system, and track 2 is the actually digital game data. Tracks 3 - 25 are all music tracks.
