There's this game called Dead Heat by Bandai Namco that I played at an amusement park one time. (the cabinet in the arcade section of the park was old and decrepit, the NOS button didn't work, and the steering wheel broke off while I was playing.) It had this neat little feature where the game...

Hi guys....is there a guide or discussion/tread about games and his configuration ?? if there is I haven't seen it 😅

Surprise! It was only a month between this and the last article, unlike the 4…ish months between that one and the previous. I couldn’t resist the call of the three games ahead of us this time, and so ended the wait earlier than expected for the both of us, dear reader. Also, I played every one...

It’s SEGA who made me understand the arcade, even long after it had died in the west. Enthusiasts had kept the Arcade dream alive, and I found myself in awe of an eight player Daytona USA cabinet. It would become my favorite arcade game, and the spot for treasured memories of the arcade...

“Hey, man, you should give this game a try, it has Sai from Akatsuki Blitzkampf?” “Oh, yeah? Let’s see…” That was the exchange I had with a friend regarding this innocuous fighting game. It started as something small but quickly evolved into something truly magical. Accompany me on this small...

RetroGameClub #7 - Three Wonders (Arcade) Welcome to RetroGameClub, an ongoing series of threads were one game is chosen to be played and discussed. The purpose of this thread is to get users to experience new games or get to share their thoughts with other people/replay the game if they...

Came across a Jacksonville seller trying to get rid of an SNK Neo Geo cabinet. Was posted yesterday at 3pm. I am not the seller. Wish I had the bones to spare. Just wanted to share and not soliciting anything. " Comes with everything pictured + extra screen cover, 4-slot mobo, and a bunch of...

Hello there my fellow gamers, What is your thoughts on Sega System 32? I like to know that is one of Sega Arcade Systems that never left the Arcade and all of it's games library struck there.

My all time personal favorite has to be Mappy (1983)! It controls really fluidly, the gameplay is also extremely entertaining and addicting. The soundtrack is incredibly good! It's pretty jaunty, catchy, and superbly well composed by Nobuyuki Ohnogi. If you happen to not be familiar with it...

What are some arcade games that were never ported to home consoles or PC but should've been? My vote goes to Ninja Baseball Bat Man because that game is fun, especially when you have 3 other players and the whole team gangs up on enemies and bosses. Honestly, it had franchise potential. I could...

I believe the first cabinet I ever played was Super Street Fighter II. Next to it were The King of Fighters '94 and Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors Dreams. I attended many arcades, huge vibrant ones with 50-inch Megalo cabinets, 8 player manx tt superbike etc, but this small place was my...

I recently bought a cheap handheld with 400 games on it. These are 80s classics from the Famicom and NES consoles. I didn’t know I’d enjoy it so much. I think this happens because of various reasons. You got the simplicity of arcade style games. Each game is without the ability to save, so if...

Intro The late 90s and early 2000s experienced a drastic growth in technology. Anything and everything felt possible. I feel like even though technology continues to evolve, something about it just feels so stagnant. It's no longer about the marketing gimmick or the tangible novelty that the...

Intro Right off the bat, how many of us really cared which version of an arcade game we played unless we were involved in a console war? Exactly, not too many. If you encountered people who played regularly at arcades or were one of them, you probably knew about the differences. Whether we...

This is basically finished but I feel like it needs refinement and I am too fatigued to see where. I planned to include all the consoles I want to make a list for but it would take too long and I'd risk reaching the article text limit. I wish we had a counter to see how much space we've used. In...

Did you know that Japan used to be obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons in the mid 80’s through to about the 2000’s? Well, now you do. The now household pop culture behemoth officially came to Japan in 1985 with the translation of the ‘Basic Set’, also known as the ‘red box’, brought into the...

Fighting games are a really cool hobby. I find them very much akin to real life martial arts: a one on one competition, no holds barred, where only your skill and your knowledge of yourself and, perhaps, of your opponent, are the only things that matter. Of course, fighting games are less...
