Top 25 1990s Arcade Games

Where the fuck is Wrestlefest????

No Double Dragon !?

encyclopedia of arcade games from the '90s 👍

I'd honestly really struggle to make a top 25, but I'd likely have Sega Rally number one, followed by Street Fighter 2 Turbo. I wouldn't include games inside a top 25 like Blades of Fury, Lethal Enforcers, Area 51, Alien Storm, The Simpsons, Turtles in Time, or Streets of Rage 2 (although it's an amazing game, the game wasn't ported from arcade to Megadrive, it's just the MD board inside the coin-op, so shouldn't count), Ridge Racer, Killer Instinct, although most probably in a top 50. There are so many!

I'd have to include instead the likes of Sega Rally 2, Ferrari 355, Silent Scope, Virtua Fighter 3, Afterburner, Outrun, Ghosts n' Goblins, Galaga, Missile Command, R-Type, Final Fight, Pac Mania, just for starters!

As a 41 year-old, it's about nostalgic value and personal impact for me, as much as audio-visual quality. I'm glad you've included a good few of my favourites anyway 👍

I cannot believe that The Simpsons, Alien Storm, Lethal Enforcers, Ridge Racer and Area 51 made the top 25, but Soul Calibur, Virtual On and Ferrari 355 Challenge didn't. I'm trying to view this as a random top 20 of personal arcade favourites, as opposed to an actual ranking.

Fail top

Ciber cycles, sega tourning car, scud race, sega rally 2..???

Excellent job soul calibur beSt fight game ever

SOUL CALIBUR NO.1 ???? NO.100 MORE LIKE IT.
WHERE IS THE KING OF FIGHTERS, FINAL FIGHT, WWF AND SF2 IS NOT NO.1 OR 2 ??
NO FREAKIN' WAY !

No Daytona 2 or Scud Race? For shame, lol.

Too many great games during the 90's.

Parodius ?

Wrestlefest was the game I played most in the arcades back then. Great list you’ve compiled there.

The Punisher was pretty sweet too!

Anybody know the music at the very start of the video?

Where is Miss World 96 😂😂 in the list it was on of the most played games ever

1. Street fighter 2
2. Mortal kombat
3. NBA jam

One of the best is missing : Afterburner arcade was the most impressive! You can see John Connor in Terminator 2 playing it!

Can't believe Mortal Kombat 2 is any less than 8th. I remember tons of people hanging around that arcade more than any other. Dan Forden's sound was a big attraction that most other games didn't have. Nice video though

Glad they are your list of games, I'd have ranked them differently.

GTI Club (Konami), NBA Jam TE and Star Wars Trilogy is on top here.

What no San Francisco Rush games where were you in the 90's

What about ridge racer?

Arcade games in the late 80s and early 90s were freaking magical.

No blitz or nba jam. Smh

So which game is the one on the thumbnail?

I thought it was Ridge Racer, but it isn’t.

I wish these games would be resurrected:
1980 Arcade Battlezone
1981 Arcade Omega Race
1999 Arcade Hydro Thunder
Dead or Alive 6
1991 EA Chuck Yeager's Air Combat
1989 EA 688 Attack Sub or 1994 EA SSN-21 Seawolf

I took my young daughter to Dave & Busters, among many other arcades. There was one game with a seat and bicycle pedals. You were in an air balloon and using the pedals could thrust your balloon.

Never forget the 1st time I came across street fighter 2 rainbow in the local chip shop 1993, 10p a credit my little self could hardly take it all in!!! Screen fulls of haaaaadoken loved it happy days 🥹

Star wars trilogy was pretty good .

No captain america and the avengers 1991?

I was gonna ask what ding dong put streets of rage 2 on here? It's sega genesis only, and can't believe they didn't include x-men on here.

No CyberSled?!? I would easily put that in my top 10! 🙄

Kind of surprised the first Mortal Kombat wasn’t on the list, considering part 2 only slightly beat it in terms of earnings…

90s arcades was the pinnacle of arcade gaming at the time.

Top 25 ????? dude you are deluded , no shinobi ?? no dragon warrior ??? bombjack ??? pacman in pacland....your arcade must have been horrible ??? half of these games were best on console

Kings of fighters 97

Cadillacs dinossauro

Wow I played 76% of all of those video games including the added ones. Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦

No metal slug, the punisher or Cadillac and dinosaurs ??? WTF

Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat, Superman, etc

Fantastic compilation ❤

This list is mainly b.s. AND HOW IS STREET FIGHTER II NOT NUMBER ONE?! GTFOH

Is that all was emulated on PC? Batocera i guess

What is the car game use for image of this vids?

Cannon fodder/Sensible soccer...

I think Virtual Racing was the first game I played in the Aracade that cost $1 to play. For a 12 year old kid in the 1990s that sucked!

Street Fighter not being in the top 5 completely invalidates this list!

Spettacolo!
