Which games got people excited about arcades? What titles were the sorts folks couldn't wait to play? These seven are all ones that couldn't be missed.
The second edition of gamescom latam brought some heavy hitters from some of the best developers in Brazil.
From rage quits to broken buttons, these games tested our skills and our will to live. These are the most difficult games.
Unless we're talking loops 3+, contra does not belong on this list. Loop one I've done without losing a life.
And yes I am extremely biased as contra, super C and Contra 3: the alien wars are three of my favorite games.
Add punch out, Fester's Quest, Blaster Master, Solomon's key, and adventure island.
I cannot beat battletoads, Solomon's key or adventure island even with emulators and save states.
For those times when you’d rather watch than play — these games are as binge-worthy as your favourite Netflix series.
I used to play Smash TV on a SNES emulator via netplay with my friend around 2002, guessing that game was one of the best money makers for arcades based on difficulty.
My favorite games to play in the arcade (even still to this day) would include Strider, Daytona USA, Sega Super GT (aka SCUD Race), Neo Geo (and its plethora of fighters and Metal Slugs), Tron and Star Wars games (vector graphics as well as Racer and the Trilogy from Sega)
