"The game wasn't played for its typically bad 1980s story line but for its bad '80s arcade violence. Final Fight defined the term "button mashing," where the gamer honed their finger's stamina and dexterity. With its popularity, Final Fight was copied by others, ushering in a Golden Age of beat-'em-up action games." - Christopher T. Fong, San Francisco Gate
