The story of the creation of one of the most important and beloved videogames of all time - Street Fighter II - and its subsequent impact on the industry, its creators, and the game-playing public that so warmly embraced it
The culmination of several years of research by games writer Matt Leone, Like a Hurricane gathers together over 60 voices, spread across continents, disciplines and companies, speaking candidly on the vision, fearlessness, and bold ambition that made Street Fighter II a household name.
A collaboration between Read-Only Memory and Polygon, Like a Hurricane is an extended and enhanced print adaptation of Matt Leone's series of in-depth oral histories, published online in serial form by Polygon. This physical version has been extended and enhanced for print, featuring over 50 specially commissioned illustrations and extra research content.

About the Author

Currently, he's an editor at Polygon, working with freelancers and reporting on behind the scenes aspects of the game industry.
