Containing 12 games from the Street Fighter series, the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection arrives onto Steam for all of your Super Turbo and 3rd Strike needs. This collection includes: 5 games from the SFII series, (World Warrior, Champion Edition, Hyper Fighting, SSFII, and SSFII Turbo), the 3 Alpha games (Alpha 1, 2, and 3), the 3 SFIII games (New Generation, 2nd Impact, and 3rd Strike), and the very first Street Fighter.

Pros:

• All of these games are a blast to play through in their own way. The very first Street Fighter game is admittingly pretty mediocre, though it's nice to at least see how the series kicked off.
  
• Online play for SFII: Hyper Fighting, SSFII Turbo, SFA3, and 3rd Strike is good for the most part.
  
• Local play is available for all of the 12 games, as well as training mode for the 4 games that have online.
  
• Each game still has their respective arcade codes, meaning you can play as Akuma in Super Turbo.
  
• Screen options and save states for each arcade mode.
  
• The museum section contains early sketches of the games and character bios, which is a nice little bonus.

Cons:

• Since these are ports of the arcade versions, they lack a lot of the features that other ports and collections of these games had (most notably the console exclusive characters in Alpha 3).
  
• I've had the game crash multiple times when pausing in arcade mode.
  
• Online play for Alpha 2 would've been nice.
  
• Akuma is not banned in Super Turbo ranked matches.

If you have never had the chance to play these games then it is worth getting this collection. However, if you have another collection sitting around then there isn't much to see here aside from the online. I would recommend it whenever it's on sale.
