About the game
Alfama Fighter Turbo is an arcade fighting game in the spirit of Street Fighter II Turbo, set in Lisbon. Eight figures of Lisbon's history and legend fight their way across ten places in the city, from the steep streets of Alfama to the Ponte 25 de Abril, and a giant waits at the end.
It plays the way those cabinets did: six buttons, special moves from joystick motions, combos, and two rounds out of three against a clock that starts at 99. The story begins in Alfama on 12 June, the night of Santo António.
