That much Arcade Game history shouldn't be on the same list. Comparing Arcade version 1 of Space Invaders against Super Mario Bros is like comparing eating a just picked orange and watching ducks on a pond while standing by yourself VS eating Duck a'lorange in Paris France sitting down at a cafe with the person you just eloped with. Pong - 1981, 1982 - 1985, 1986 - 1989, The 90s didn't have as much rapid change in hardware tech, for one example though: Virtua Fighter 1 shouldn't have to compete with the final stable patch edition of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, both are on different hardware platforms that give a completely different gaming experience.

Metal Slug will always be #1 for me. But then you realize that you haven't even played 98% of the games on this phenomenal list.. What a video!

Thanks a lot for this Kim! I was addicted back them in Spain, there were a lot of them even in my neighborhood. We had them in "bars" (they are like Spanish version of pubs). It was so shitty to play when everyone was smoking but it was such an excitement when I could discover a hidden treasure. I remember escaping my parents so many times to check the arcade machines of every pub, every city we visited. Cannot wait to see your take on this. Best documentaries of videogames. Thanks!!!

25-30 years ago I used to visit my grandfathers in Spain for the summer in Cambrils (I live in France) and it was heaven for me; 3 arcades around me, arcade cabinets in almost every bar. I have great memories of a bartender playing the first ASO, it was a pleasure to watch him play, made me fall in love with shmups.

“Raider Trad” is the only shooter to take more of my money than Galaga!

What a thoroughly enjoyable journey through your favourite arcade games. I can’t argue with any of your choices as this is such a personal list. My age and nostalgia for certain titles might produce a slightly different list / order but wouldn’t be essentially much different. Thanks for taking the time to make this one. So nice to sit through and let the memories flood back.

Your work, Jeremy parish, mvg and the retro hour, all great chroniclers of gaming history. Each with a unique take. Love all of your work.

Wow! Thanks for this Kim! I always enjoy videos like this, The Top 100 Amiga games being a big favourite.

I always loved the surprise cabinets you’ve never seen before. Commonly found in chip-shops and motorway service stations.

I love your top 100 lists so much and have been missing them lately. Thank you for this

TMNT, Simpsons, and Gauntlet Legends were always my favorites!! Awesome list and so much nostalgia.

The perfect topic for the moment. Thank you for this glorious list of childhood-memories!

At number 2, I literally said out loud "so what's your 1st? Wrestlefest?" In a joking manner as I always played it as a kid. I burst out laughing when I was right. It wasn't the best, it was kinda clunky and an absolute coin devourer. But there's no denying the effect it had when we were young. I loved it too. The chunky characters, the voices... it was great. Mame..... oh maaaaaame! Love it! Great list, Kim! Incredibly entertaining watch.

Making a list like this really does come down to your memories of playing these games growing up. In the last year I was able to get a home system with many of these games loaded on to it and it has been a lot of fun rediscovering them or playing them for the first time. My personal favorites would be Galaga, Street Fighter 2-Champions Edition, and Konami's X-Men 6 player, but again when it comes to favorites it's all about those great memories at your local arcade. Now I'm going to try a few of them from your list that I didn't see as much growing up.

Brilliant video as always, so indepth and I always come away learning more about gaming history. Well done Kim!

A very enjoyable video Kim. Thanks for your time making it :)

What an epic video, so much beauty in action in sprite, polygon and synth music form!

Thank you Kim! Cool to see an arcade list from you, enjoyed it.

Fantastic list Kim! Very happy to see a lot of your top 20 games are in the '89 arcade!

[sees House of the Dead 2 high on the list] Aah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

As usual an expertly made video chook full of nostalgia, thanks and keep up the amazing work.

Can you imagine trying to survive family holidays back in the 80s and 90s without the aid of arcades? A truly horrifying thought. Great list. Definitely similar to my own experiences, and honestly, fighting and wrestling games can come and go, adding more bells and whistles, but the top two here will always be the benchmarks.

Amazing video, thank you for much for making it. I especially like the pick of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, I have never seen that on any list before. Hopefully the days of the arcades with these classics will return!

Always wonderful stuff! Thanks for putting in the work!

Never should I have shown up to a Kim Justice video so early! As always, excellent work, Kim!

I always get very nostalgic when i watch your videos as i played and loved most of these games when i was a kid in the 80s and also grew up on the speccy..keep up the great work mate..

Seeing this uploaded just brighten my day! Fanks, you wightious webel of KZread retro gaming! EDIT: and an RLM reference to start. *chef's kiss*

Pretty solid list! Thanks for sharing this Kim!

Yes! Wrestlefest! It is such an amazing game, the biggest compliment I can give it is that it has never been replicated. The AI is excellent and better than the likes of No Mercy.

Love to hear Kim talking really chills me out after a hard days graft

Kim, I love you.. These videos are the highlight of my KZread journey - for real.

Another great video of the games of yesteryear. Brilliant stuff well done. Keep em coming Kim

Awesome video!! Thanks Kim. Was literally looking at my YT subs and thinking to myself - "you know what...I could definitely do with an upload from KJ"....et voilà immediately catch sight of this. Made my day. Lucky enough to own quite a few of these. Great to hear your thoughts on them.

What a great list! A couple I haven't heard of and I'm definitely going to cheak out!

Another amazing list, doing a top 100 of anything is extremely difficult. I look forward to the next one

Banger of a list. Good job, mate!

Awesome compilation!!!

I can't even imagine how many hours you sunk into this, but it really shows. They provide me with some sort of "during the day"-asmr 👍 Very well done!

Another fun top 100! Great work Kim! We're getting closer and closer to that Top 100 PS1 games, that's the one I'd like to see the most since it's my N1 console :D

Thanks great video! I am in an arcade mood atm has been great seeing so many great ones I’d never seen b4…

Ah, arcades. Such good memories. I remember you saying in one of your other lists (can't remember which one) that you might someday make a list of the top games in your Steam library - if you ever did that, I'd totally be interested in it.

When you mentioned about that game being at your local chippy that you'd play whilst you wait... that is a genius idea. All these takeaways and whatnot should have a game or 2 for whilst you're waiting for the food. So you're not just sat pretendingt to look at your phone waiting awkwardly for 10 minutes.

One of the takeaway places my family ordered food from frequently had a Bust A Move cabinet and good lord I played a ton of that. The place is still in business, but the cab is gone now. Such a shame.

Wow I did not expect that so many of my quirky top 10 picks ended up in your top 10 as well…number 9, 6 and 5! Huge favourites here. Great video overall. Only games I would have loved to see there would be some Psikyo games: Strikers 1945 and Gunbird series are amazing. Of the golden age games I also love Centipede and Dig Dug, but I loved all your shoutouts to that era. One gaming company I used to work for had a Robotron machine and man if I had one machine from that era at home that would be an easy pick.

I love arcade games so much I turned my wayfair desk into a cabinet...drilled the holes for the buttons and lever, added supports so it is mounted to the corner walls of my office so I can really jam down on the lever without moving the desk a nanometer. It barely obstructs my ability to type and use the desk, too...best idea I have had in awhile. I love it, and use the stick for everything from Streets of Rage Remake to Rondo of Blood to Final Fantasy 7 to Chilren of the Atom and all my fav 90's arcade titles via retroarch.

Your lists are always such fun journeys. :-) If I could own one cabinet in my home, it would be an old-school Asteroids cab. That game never gets old to me.

Love these top 100 videos ❤

Great video Kim, keep it up

Not even watched yet but it's a new KimJ vid on arcade games.... Can't wait.

Thank you for this video i loved the old school arcade

Great video 👍 Surely Ghoul 'n' Ghosts and R-Type need a place in there? You should play Boogie Wings too. It's what would happen if UN Squadron, Metal Slug and Dynamite Headdy had a lovechild...it's insanely good 😂

I do find it fascinating how different this list is compared to anything I'd put together if doing one myself. I wasn't fortunate enough to get to play the majority of games in an arcade, but instead have spent over 20 years getting them emulated so what I've been exposed to and grown to enjoy is almost entirely different. I should put together that list of my own at some point, but I know just how long it takes to record the footage, script everything, record and edit the voiceover etc. even for a short 10-15 minute video, so I can only imagine how long this almost 2 hour one too you.
