The Fighting Game
Compiled from the Cartridge Collective archive — long-form editorial on games still worth playing now. Each piece argues, against modern standards rather than period nostalgia, why a curious reader in 2026 should give the game its hours.
The web archive lives at cartridgecollective.co, where every article in this volume can be read with its original links to soundtracks, longplays, and supporting writing.
