I had to bump this because it's so old. Thought we'd get a lot more new comments. Also I didn't want answers limited to the 90s. Although all my picks are from the 90s.

Rampart
Tron
Dayton USA
Mortal Kombat 2
Dragons Lair 2

the 90s made fighting games what they are today :]

also, there might not have been any innovation as far as "new genres" go, but a lot of genres saw their finest titles. namely shmups and beat 'em ups. puzzle games also saw a few new ideas in the way of titles like Magical Drop and many others.

so i'd say there was innovation - it was just very within the realm of things already created.

ah the 90s arcade...

i remember after school (HS) my friends and i often go to the liquor store nearby to play SF Alpha 2, MK3 and Area 51. (no we didn't buy any liquor)

when i went to college, there was i think two arcade cabs at the cafeteria. they were Samurai Showdown 4 (which was very popular with the college kids) and Marvel vs Capcom.

when i got my first job at movie theater as an asst manager, at closing time we would play NFL Blitz, Soul Calibur, X-men: Children of Atom and Killer Instinct. i also remember ms. pac-man in the corner all alone. :(

and every time i go to the mall during the 90s i would play SF2, TMNT, Simpons, random racing games, and NBA Jam! there was also this one moment when i was so busy playing SF2 that a girl came up to me and her "cute" friend wanted my phone number...i totally ignored her :!: . i was a young lad back then and i could careless about girls.. :?
