Top 50 Arcade Games of All Time – Explored



Arcades are where it all began: the birthplace of gaming culture and competition. It’s much like go-karting for somebody who wants to grow up to be a Formula 1 racer. Players of all ages and from all places play with or against each other and establish a sense of brotherhood in the process. Great innovation happens in arcades, not just in terms of the technical side of gaming, but also the business aspect of gaming: the art and science of earning millions of dollars by creating a fun and captivating game. Their cultural impact aside, arcades did not go extinct when home consoles came into the fore just like books didn’t disappear with the advent of video or the Kindle. There has been a recent resurgence of arcade gaming, especially because of the speed-running community and the satisfying sense of fraternity involved in it all. In this Marvelous video, we look at the top 50 arcade games of all time let’s go!

  1. The Contra gameplay sequence is from the home NES version .

    Contra arcade has a different visual style, speed and sounds ( although the gameplay is similar )

    Still, nice video. It was a fun watch and a great nostalgia travel

  2. 8:40 re. The Simpsons Arcade.

    "The popularity of the game lead to several sequels and other ports."

    So here, it's shown that this script has been auto generated. So desperate to have words to say, the software has made a safe guess that sequels and ports followed when there were no sequels and it was only ported to MS-DOS and the C64. Which is fairly well known to even the most amateur retro game nerd.

    The delivery of this simulated person is so dull and dense it almost becomes confusing to pay attention as a barrage of dull dry information is listed off by a robot from a script which was written by a robot.

    I honestly think media like this cancels out a video made by a human being in the overall cumulative effect of media being published.
