The SLX Top 10 Sega Arcade Games

There was a time when the arcade was the focal point of every advancement our hobby would receive. Whether is was technology or game design, you saw it there first. I go over the games that had the biggest effect on me through the years, and discuss why I cared so much for them.
We will be looking at:
Thunder Blade
Spider-Man The Video Game
Virtua Cop 2
Daytona USA
Gunblade NY
Outrunners
Golden Axe The Revenge of Death Adder
House of the Dead
Sega Rally
OutRun 2

    Ben Liu They dominated a particular genere: racing games, no company could come close to Sega when it came to racing games, sure there was Namco's Ridge Racer series, but it came as a distant second. Their expertise in this genere culminated in the swan song of coin op racing games: Ferrari F355 Challenge, this was not even an arcade racer, but a full fledged car simulator.

    You will find Sega Rally 2 twin cabinets here in Russia everywhere. It's arguably the most popular arcade cabinet in Russia since it's so widespread. Almost every big movie theatre has a twin cabinet, some cafes have them and absolutely every arcade has at least one of them. What baffles me is that even the ultra-rare F-Zero AX deluxe cabinets aren't so rare here, too. My local arcade even has two of them linked (as well as six seats of Sega Rally 2). And I'm sure that the arcades won't go away in the near future, because of the timeless classics like Sega Rally 2 and other Sega games. Oh, and we have a ton on Time Crisis 4's as well.

    You'd figure an arcade classics comp that was downloadable wouldn't be a huge investment. Just stick a nice frontend and artwork in there. I know licencing emulators is a bit of a finicky business though. Retro gaming is so fashionable at the moment and people remember the likes of Outrun, Shinobi and Golden Axe if not necessarily their sequels. Just throw them in as well as bonus content. The plus side is these games have aged rather a lot better than Mega Drive versions and they are very well suited to dabbling with for 5 minutes here and there. They were designed for the most casual of game playing audiences in the first place.

    SEGA haven't been known for good emulation/porting, right now they're still having struggles getting the Megadrive emulation perfect, let alone arcade games. Saturn is also renowned for being near impossible to emulate perfect due to it's complicated hardware. M2 plans to release some arcade games for their SEGA AGES line on the Switch however, including OutRun, Space Harrier and Virtua Racing, so just hope that project keeps going for a while.

    Believe it or not, my first impression of the Genesis was quite negative. Space Harrier II was a piss poor version compared to the beautiful arcade version, leading me to believe the machine underpowered. It wasn't until I saw Altered Beast that I reconsidered that stance. I realized that while the Genesis wasn't a Super Scaling beast, it certainly was a great piece of technology.

    CB W - True, but the technology will help get people off their butts to check out the arcade - arcades remained relatively popular through the mid 90's or so because they had games like Virtua Fighter 3 etc. on system boards that were just leagues beyond home console/PC hardware, you could only have those experiences in arcades. You're going to need powerful hardware with unique peripherals etc. to get teens/adults into modern arcades - if the gameplay/graphics are only just comparable to what they have at home, they're not going to bother.

    A good gaming computer will still be considerably larger/more expensive than a console, any most people don't own $5000+ rigs, so I think there's still room to impress people in an arcade - custom arcade board with 4x 1080ti's, gobs of RAM and an 8-core Intel CPU could pump out some pretty impressive visuals and large-scale games, of course such an arcade system would be quite expensive. You are right about Arcades needing custom peripherals/seats etc. to attract people (like the new "Space Invaders" game with the giant guns at Dave and Busters).

It remains my favorite Shinobi game of all time, its a game a lot of people don’t discuss or forget when discussing Shinobi games. In my opinion its the better of the Shinobi games and it looks better too of all the series (not a fan of the 3DS anime style). The difficulty and one hit deaths is what made it unique, I never had a problem with it In fact not even as a kid. It did come out for the Master System but it has never received a proper port of the arcade. I love that game a lot, it brings a lot of memories.

    No Star Wars arcade? Man, I spent so much money playing that game back in it's peak. The local pizza shop had the stand up version in their lobby and the owner freaked out one day when I played all the way through from start to finish. He told me he hasn't seen anyone else beat that game before.

    Yeah man....the arcades what a time...remember going with my friends and Sega had some of my favourites....Crackdown...MJ's Moonwalker...Shadowdancer...G-Loc...Golden axe As a kid the arcades (in the Netherlands) I got to were places divided into sections of slot machines with gambling addict chain smoking grown ups. And sections of lined up arcade game cabinets...Some of the best of that time Operation Wolf, Double dragon, Rolling thunder, big sit down After burner cabinet, Thunder blade....it was a real thrill to be there back then....

    Sega built their empire in the arcades. They were always at best there. Sega then gave us great home consoles ( apart from the 32X and Mega CD ) to play their arcade ports. When the Dreamcast sold it's last console that signaled the "real" end of arcade ports dominance on home consoles, the market had been changing for years but that was the final nail in the coffin. I think the modern gaming world is due for a resurgence in arcade style games. Gaming today is fine but there can be a few too many long winded games and games that suffer with unnecessary gameplay "padding" and overuse of cutscenes (personal grumble). Maybe a modern day resurgence of high quality arcade style games on home consoles would great for the industry and for gamers, especially if Sega were making these types of games instead of crap 3D Sonic games.

    Great selection! There are many truly game-changers on there, Thunder Blade was basically a 3D game made of 2D sprites, and Daytona USA needs no introduction. It truly is a pity that Gunblade never made it to the Saturn, and of course, that the Mega Drive didn't have hardware scaling and rotating capabilities as was initially intended, we could have got a plethora of interesting ports that way. Pretty interesting one that Spider-Man game, by the way!

    Yeah, the lack of hardware scaling in the Genesis/Mega Drive always was a head scratcher. I understand it couldn't have been as powerful as the Super Scaler arcade boards, but to have nothing at all was a mistake seeing as how prevalent it was in their popular arcade games.

    Absolutely. As much as I like the Master System, I still don't get why they thought it better to priorize backwards compatibility with it instead of more hardware capabilities for the VDP, an increased color palette or even a better way to implement PCM playback.

    My earliest memory of Sega in the arcade was when my brother got me to sit with him while he played Space Harrier and the moving seat made me cry! There were so many belters that Sega released though. Sega Rally and Daytona were indeed awesome but if was the one time I found a Virtual On cabinet in the wild that was probably the crowning moment of my Sega arcade upbringing. When I went back to the same arcade a few years later the machine had been replaced. It made me aware of how things have changed in the arcade scene over the years. Though I enjoy games like the Time Crisis series it was Sega's efforts that kept me coming back to the arcades. Oh, does anyone remember the Jurassic Park lightgun game Sega did? That was fun too.

    I'm visiting Kyoto right now and I just hit the jackpot in a local arcade. One arcade cabinet had something like 700 games (granted, lot of them were just different region versions of the same game) in it! It had all the stuff like Street Fighters, Metal Slugs, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Mortal Combat, Streets of Rage etc. It even had the Spider-Man arcade game from this video. Needless to say that I gave visiting shrines and temples a pass for today, and spent the whole day glued to the machine with a mountain of coins besides me. Sad that you can't have arcade experiences like this outside of Japan anymore.

    This shouldn't surprise you, all of Segas stuff was made in Bridgend, South Wales and exported from there, including to the USA. This is why so little correct information exists about the cabinets. Oddly enough everything still exists, I have 5 and a quarter inch discs in my office from the 1980s with all these specs on, and the old amiga style discs as well as we got into the 90's.

    Outrun 2 stock came out on Xbox (the original console) sp came out on PS2 and pretty much everything else but the original (and I feel best version) is on the original Xbox console. It's also backward compatible with Xbox 360. It suffers from slowdown though and you lose the traffic in two player (link up) but it does feature Skudrace and Daytona USA 2 stages as bonuses which is nice. Also Sega rally is pretty much a given in every decent UK arcade, even to this day! I guess it's because Rallying is far more popular in Europe than America. Great video though. I really enjoy your content and find you extremely knowledgeable about Sega hardware and just video games in general. Good stuff man

    In the late 90s I had pretty much stopped going to the arcades. I was a college student with a girlfriend and a part time job. Any free time I had for video games was spent with my Saturn. Why go out for Virtua Fighter 2 when I could play it in my apartment? But one game that pulled me back was Top Skater. That had to be played in the arcade and I absolutely loved it.
