Must play arcade games (Via MAME)

Post by Erik_Twice »

But not "Galaga" and friends. Obscure and semi-obscure games we may have skipped but are worth checking out.


I'm going to start with Elevator Action Returns. A great upgrade to the old classic with nice graphics and three characters to choose from. It got a port on the Saturn if I'm not mistaken.

Yup! It got a Saturn port and a PS2 port on the Taito Memories collection.

What about all the famous beat-em-ups like The Simpsons, X-Men, and TMNT?

Though not unknown here, the D&D arcade games are fantastic RPG beatemups.

For general unknown:
005 is a neat title for its age
Arabian is like Lode Runner
Angel Kids is a Crazy Climber like vertical platformer
