- The purpose of the video is to pay homage to arcades. The history of video games began there, so this video has a very high educational and video game preservation value.
In this TOP are the best ARCADE of all time? It is not my intention, because that goes for tastes or experiences, but they are the most successful ARCADE, collecting lots of coins. The most common ARCADE in an arcade and that you have surely played lots of times. A very difficult TOP to do for mixing "Golden age of arcade video games" with the 90's.

Back in a time where $5.00 made you the happiest kid on earth!😃😄
Man, where I lived, 5 moneys would get you 5 games... I never could understand why kids in movies were at the arcade all day, until I learned their games were only a quarter per credit.
@Bigfriendly15 a quarter,?, they were only twnety cents on NZ :)
Shit, 5 bucks would make me happy right now as a grown man if I’m at the right pub where they post arcade games on the wall for nostalgia’s sake! That’s something I don’t take for granted or overlook because in today’s climate, we can use a boost or something that makes us feel good. Give me a dollar and point me to the wwf wrestlefest machine and life doesn’t get much better than that I tell you!
@@SiliconBong true bro, we were pretty poor back then, and a 20 was all we could afford. Some of us used to just stand around watching others play. Remember all those dudes crowding around Street Fighter 2? Going back to the 80s though, it was all over when they put the price up to 40 cents -- and now a game costs $2!
@@shimmeringreflection I hear ya, someone tried a new combo move from a magazine=instant friends. ..every city in nz had at two videogame arcades; one where the carpet and walls were pretty knew and you weren't allowed to swear, the other was always a dive where you wore the worst shoes possible in case anyone got any ideas.
(I meant 'new' my spellchecker is having a hissy fit.)
Nothing tops that 80's era ! I know technology has evolved light years since then,but walking into an arcade back then was like going to a concert, with all the bells and whistles , different pinball machines ,the food, neon lights in the dark! It was a great place to hang and meet people too! We would always hope and anticipate our favorite games coming out on whatever console we had! Going to the Mall or Bowling alley, and amusement park back then was absolutely some of the best times ! 😌
I couldn't agree with you more it where's the best of times all the arcade classics the food and the atmosphere itself that's what made it so cool to be a teenager back in those days let me tell you I truly miss it those were the days the golden days🤗👍
It was a simpler time when we had no cell phones, and everybody actually talked to each other, instead of staring at their "DAMN" phones. This has to be the absolute worst generation to live in. Sure, we have better technology, but at what cost? 80's forever 🤘
I think the key you said was meeting people … I feel sorry for kids today ….. yes technology is amazing but they will never have the interpersonal skills we had developed growing up in the 80s ….
Amen.
I came up in the late 80's and early 90's and remember most of these classics. Used to love sitting down at the old Pac Man cocktail tables where you'd be looking down at the screen from a seat, so much fun. Remember when Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II hit the scene, it took over the arcade almost overnight. Everybody wanted to be the best fighter in the mall!
Best time to be alive 80' and 90

I actually miss my Arcade days where strangers became good friends. Still in contact with most of them.
so true! acades were a beautiful thing!
I remember a lot of fights
That's so good hear.
In my experience the Arcade was more of a place where random ass FIGHTS were more likely to break out than anyone becoming friends LOL.
I would've put a quarter down to play you doubles 😊
The 80s will always be my go-to era for arcade video games, even though I was 20 in 1982 :) In addition to these classics, I can remember Moon Patrol, Sinistar (RUN, COWARD!), Gyruss, Jungle Hunt/Jungle King, Satan's Hollow, Virtua Fighter (1993) and so many others....I can still remember the crowded arcades, with the loud music, greasy smell of the food, cigarette smoke (many older arcade games will still have burn marks where people parked their cigarette to play), things sorely missed when playing these classics at home.
How much joy these retro games brought in my childhood, you have no idea.
Spending the whole day at the arcade,
I play the modern games but let us never let them be forgotten my friend.
Great channel !! All the support here from Nasty Blasty
From 1972’s PONG , up to 1983’s STAR WARS , I can say that I played most of all arcade games that came to Sweden. From there on , it was ”now & then”. I clearly remember Street fighter , Ridge racer , Mortal combat , Out run & Tekken.
There was 3 arcades in my town. The smaller one was my favourite. The owner was huge , kept order and always had the 5-10 newest games , 10-15 of the most moneymaking ones , BUT , in the back corner he kept 10 of the classics : Pong , Tank 2 , Night driver , Sprint 2 , Asteroids , Galaxian , Defender , Missile command & Pac-man all the years of that arcades existens (-75 to 93/94). They had a perfect fit between his counter and the door to the restroom and he were never seen playing anything else but them. Also ; there were always 5-10 of the latest pinball machines , exchange machine , cigarette machine and a soda vending machine. He used to manage a bingo-hall but opened this in his mid 40’s and sold it when he retired. Today it’s a fancy café , but I could replicate it to perfection , given the correct interior and machines.
The sounds…this definitely brings back memories! I can remember paying a flat fee and doing “all nighters” at the mall arcade. These were great times! Thank you for this video and list!
The smell of the electronics in the boards, I'll never forget that musty smell in arcades..
What a time to be alive.
I was expecting to see Spy Hunter on this list. Great to see some of the ones that I once loved listed here.
Game was good but too hard imho
Same here!! Dragons Lair and Space Ace
@@ninelivecat I remember not being good at it in the least.
I was addicted to spy hunter mid 80s
Spy Hunter is often missing on these lists. It's a classic and was iconic in arcade terms.
Wow, I remember playing every single on of these games in the arcades as a teenager and into my 20s. I sure do miss those days in many ways. I would add a couple games to this list: Time Pilot, Dragon's Lair, Battlezone and Roadblasters. There were so many greats though that this list could have a hundred entries in it easily.
Battlezone of course...I remember the summer I spend in England in the 80S playing that awesome game in a Pier full of arcade machines in Hastings,the cabinette had two joystick,it was amazing...greetings from Spain
Same here. One of the biggest and oldest arcade just closed in my city. Not fun. But I guess all these can be found to play at home.
Yes Roadblasters was great. I’d also add Super Sprint and A.P.B to the list.
Loved Time Pilot. one of the few games that I was actually good at....never beat it though.
Loved the arcades too. Games like Gauntlet, Bad Dudes and Double Dragon were some of my favorites.
Moon Patrol, Dragon's Lair, Paperboy, Bomb Jack, Elevator Action!! Qué placer era entrar y escuchar todos esos sonidos y músicas juntos, jajajaja
UK perspective. Never saw about a 1/3 of those in the arcades and would have been introduced to them via home conversions.
For me, personally, a list of what should have been included would have been:
Spyhunter
Moon Patrol
Time Pilot
Bombjack
Battlezone
Star Wars
Return of the Jedi
Dragons Lair
Gorf
Sea Wolf
Smash TV
Absolutely...Spy hunter was one of the best games in the arcade.
Such fantastic memories of my childhood stood in arcades with a pocket full of 10p coins. Track And Field,1942 and Bubble Bobble were my personal faves. So glad I was a child of the 70s.
The 10p coin used to be huge too. £1 in 10p pieces used to weigh a pound (lbs) 😊 I remember 20p per play (80’s) then it went up to 50p (90’S)
Krull was a classic. Most don't remember that one. Anyone??
@@sncnutrition7118 yes i do, the sound of the monster was very creepy
I can definitely see a reverence for the classics in this list. I think I've grown more critical with age for arcade games. If they became grindy or frustrating, I'm less likely to hold on, but ones with good stories that have a beginning, cut-scenes, and and end I favour more. The look and feel of walking into a dark arcade with electrifying lights and sounds all around is an indescribable, breathtaking experience.
I'm less fussy when it comes to story and cut scenes, my main thing is playability. I still prefer games that with skill you can play for ages, rather than ones designed to kill you no matter how good you are, and you need to feed quarter after quarter into it to continue.
Nice choices. I would have included Zaxxon I & II, Spy Hunter, Tron, Star Wars, Dragon's Lair, Moon Patrol, Sinistar, Wizard of Wor in my top 50
There were definitely some strange omissions from this list. Spy Hunter, Tron and Dragon Lair were a good call. I would have liked to see Ninja Gaiden included as well as a few others.
Can we stop and appreciate all the attention to detail that went into making this video, wow amazing!
Popaye, Moonpatrol e Rally x, arcades inesquecíveis, não podem faltar!!
I spent so many hours and quarters playing so many of these games in the 80’s 😀
It’s a good list! Missing a couple of my favs: Marble Madness, Popeye, Roadblasters, Paperboy and Karnov.
Mmmmmmmmmmm, Marble Madness
Nice adds!.
I would also say there should be Cruis'n USA, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, and Altered Beast
@@TheOneTrueSpLiT i was just thinking the same thing lol.........wish I had a trackball for mame
I really do love lists like this. They are like talking about the greatest sports figures in any given sport. There will be different names given, but all were great. Love it!
Clásico de clásicos y grandes joyas de leyenda!!.🕹️🕹️👊🏼
Thank so much for posting, was a wonderful walk down memory lane with those glorious sounds of Robotron, Galaga& asteroids. Video quality is exceptional. Never seen asteroids so 'crisp'.
My father is 50+ years old and its crazy how good he still plays Wonder boy. You can still notice his crazy muscle memory. He rushes through so many levels. I still cant do that after many attempts. I am losing that skateboard like after few seconds and he clears multiple levels with it 😂. And he is also pretty good at the karate game coming next in the list.
Wow. What a perfect list! Born in ‘81 here, so definitely appreciate what you did here. And thanks again for the format of your vids… no commentary and superb editing. You simply show us the goods!
So gratifying... wish it kept on going! That nostalgia of 80s is just beautiful yet heart wrenching...
I remember as a kid nearly every corner store had a street fighter or Mortal Kombat Arcade Cabinet.
What’s crazy is how NO corner stores have Arcade cabinets now . I guess they don’t want kids hanging out there anymore .
It's so crazy considering nowadays that u can put literally 10s of thousands of Arcade games in your device now which is like 1000 arcade stores put together lol
Where did you grow up?
There used to be an arcade machine at the cheap store? Holy Christ I would not go home if arcade cabinet exist
Brisbane Australia@@crieverytim
The music and sound effects of Ghosts & Goblins are the ultimate arcade sounds for me. Pure nostalgia.
wow, that list takes me back. Great times, and when times seemed easier and less complicated than today.
Thanks man, this brought back so many memories of going to arcade straight after school. Used to love king fu master and defender especially. Great video
Aside from the missing ones others have mentioned, I'd add Choplifter, UN Squadron, and Crystal Castles. Also Foodfight is hilarious. So simple in concept but still so much fun.
I'm 47 and this was a great video, a lot of memories. I also loved Spy Hunter, Galaga '88, Xenophobe, Time Pilot, Jackal, Super Pacman, and Afterburner as well.
Great list... but phoenix, battle zone, popeye, tapper, zaxxon, nibbler, lady bug, dragon's lair?
This brings back so much memories 👍🏻, miss my childhood
Such a wave of nostalgia. I love all those games and still play them regularly.
Two of my favorites that didn't make the list are Moon Patrol and Ladybug.
My first thoughts absolutely!!! Add Crush Roller :)
WWF Superstars was one of my favorite arcade games.
It was the first wrestling game with real wrestlers from WWF.
I could finish the game without losing one life bar.
Poppycock!
The 80´s arcade games are total nostalgia. When I hear the music and sounds it takes me back in time. Got a few on my PS5, who needs God of War Ragnorak when you have Pac Man, Galaxian, Galaga, Frogger, Moon Patrol, Track & Field et al. 🔥🔥🔥
Señor , estoy de acuerdo...
Thank you very much for uploading. This was a pleasant trip down memory lane.
Great list! Played so many of these classics!!
So many memories man thanks for remembering my childhood.
Me encantan que pongas todas las marquesinas con las artes originales de cada juego, eso me gusta mucho! Que suerte poder verlo así jeje
There is a lot of games on that list that I don’t miss playing.
Excellent video, thanks. It’s the sounds that really bring you back to the arcade.
Ooooh so that's what you call "awesomeness"! And thanks to those legendary titles, we have a HUGE hobby we call GAMING. Bless them (and you) for what they gave us...Shit load of fun!!! Keep the good work man.
最近のゲームは複雑で、遊ぶと疲れます。しかし、レトロゲームはシンプルで楽しいです☆☆☆
Increíble video, Radik, uno de los mejores recopilatorios de hitazos de Arcade. Muy entretenido.
I was a total arcade rat as a kid in the 80s. Any time I could muster quarters and free time in the arcade was quality. I kept a tally and if memory serves I got to play 44 of these. I was not big into racers, brawlers, and fighters, but would give them a try regularly. Personal favorites not on the list are Zaxxon, Spy Hunter, Elevator Action, Dragon's Lair/Space Ace, Pengo, Star Castle, Phoenix, Mappy, Gorf, Tron, and Moon Patrol. Those games had art styles and game play that were unique as well. Just too many to appreciate. Still a gamer in my 50s.
Great compilation
I like to see all the post "crash" games of the 80s, ie 1985+
Pre 1985 classics tend to get a lot of attention, but the 1985-1990 period saw a lot of innovation in arcade games and genre changes
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! ALL MY FAVOURITE TOP-10 GAMES IT'S BETWEEN 1985 AND 1990 EXPECT STREETFIGHTER II! BUT THE FIRST STREETFIGHTER RELEASED 1987! THE BEST GAMES RELEASED THE YEARS YOU SAY!! IT'S MY INNER THOUGHT , BELIEVE THAT!
Excelente recopilacion, te felicito.
Gracias no me acordaba de operación wolf ,que recuerdos cuando hiba con mis compañeros de curso a los arcade . Gracias !!!
Hermosos recuerdos!
Muy buen video!
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Por fin te encuentro!!! Después de 40 años , BERZERK , así te llamabas !!!! Yo solo la conocía como el "juego del hombrecito" ... Era un capo en ese juego , sabían que el juego permitía que las balas de los robots podían pasar entre la cabeza y el cuerpo del hombrecito y no podía matarlo ....
I'm 47 years old and used to play many of these in the 'video game parlours'. This is the best summary of the golden age out there. These are the games that were popular back then and I'm impressed you made the effort to show how each one plays.
Yeah I’m 50 and grew up in the arcades,we have a retro arcade where we live and it’s like going back to the 80’s.
just curious, can you remember how much did you have to pay for a game? in China in the 90s, it was like 1 rmb = 3 coins, it was not cheap to the children, many children got addicted to it lol.
@@1984zAm if I remember,I’m the early 80’s it was about 10p or 20pence for a game,this obviously went up to around 50p in the mid 80’s.
@@1984zAm Hi Zam, yes it was in the early 80s, 20 cents (New Zealand dollar) for one game. About 15 US cents at that time maybe. Not expensive for one game.
Same age, and I can say I played all these games. I eventually worked at an arcade for 5 years in the early 90s during the Street Fighter 2 revolution (this cabinet was really the renaissance of the video game arcade that placed arcades as the central hangout at any mall). Games in the early 80s cost a quarter per credit (25 cents USD) and have been all throughout until the late 80s and early 90s when cabinets became more complex and sophisticated (Outrun, Afterburner, any gun game).
You can’t forget about Mappy. That, Dig Dug, and Galaga were my OGs
Mappy is my all time favorite
Battle Toads, Bad Dudes, Crusin USA, Killer Instinct, and Golden Tee. Techmo Bowl,,,Very popular games as well
Pac-Man 👏 👍 Algunos otros q recuerdo q nunca faltaban en los arcade q viste en los 80s y 90s eran: International Superstar Soccer, Bad Dudes, Moon Patrol, y Robocop.
looking at these games made me realize how awesome my childhood was
Dude, your video Rocks! Never seen such a Rad compilation. Gonna share for sure. Thanks!
Your Videos are always spot on!, great work
Personalmente me faltarían Paperboy, Toobin y Psychic 5, también metería alguno "pre-Space Invaders", Break Out o Gun Fight por ejemplo. Pero muy buena la lista. Me sobrarían el de las tortugas ninja y NBA Jam.
Great selection there. My top 50 would include StsrWars (sit-down cabinet), Tron, Jackal, Battlezone, Scramble
Ahh, great walk down memory lane. Thank you for uploading this.
Very appealing presentation with the control boards and a zoomed in gameplay. Glad to see Mr Do in the list.
Los he ayudado a casi todos a estar en esta lista. Y bien a gusto! :)
Some amazing games that take me back. I’d have added Shadow Warriors and Shinobi 😊👍🏻
Shinobi, definitely! When I finally beat that game in college, it was like a medal of honor
So good. Some standout memories - that bad ass "slap" as you landed the roundhouse in Karate Champ, using a coin to slide over the button on Track&Field to make him run super fast. Daytona the sense of speed. Street Fighter II the huge crowd of people who were always watching the matches.
Very cool........Rygar and Pac land deserve to be on the list, as does commando
Pretty good list. I spent much of my youth playing these games in the early 80’s…if I had to add some of my favs that’s missing it would be:
1. Star Wars arcade
2. Tron
3. Moon Patrol
4 Bagman
Tron. Hell yeah.
Add Exerion and Phoenix
Spy Hunter 1983
Asteroid game 1979
Pong game 1972
Aliens arcade game
Moon Patrol....ou yes!!!! And Scramble,Gyruss...
Really nice vid footage of games and attention to detail on each arcade machine. Nice
Amazing video, Genuine Arcade feeling
Phoenix and Astro Blaster were my go-to's back in the day, here in the UK. So nice to be able to run most of these on a humble Pi 3 4 years later!
Some more i remember now: Puzzle bubble, power spikes, bomb jack (just because it's really classic), robocop, Roland goes digging (amstrad cpc), Phoenix, flying shark, Green beret..
Love it!! Ghosts n Goblins is the first game I ever rented and Rampage was the first game I ever bought! Old school
Sooo friggin cool man. All day Saturday trips to the arcade, man brings back memories. 👍🏾
Great memories come flooding back, remember getting space invader for my Atari back in early 80s thinking wow same as in the arcades lol. Overall though outrun really pushed open the envelope of what can be done from then on .
Cutest game play music belongs to Bubble Bobble. Surprised Rygar wasn't on the list as well as Dragon's Lair. Everybody has a love story on how that machine affected them. LOL
Oh you said it...dragons lair was the best unique game in the arcade back then
Very nice how this was put together. So many great memories from most of these games. Depending on the game, puts me in a different arcade experience back in the day.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU DID THIS ❤❤❤!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤!!! I LOVE CHILLIN WHILE THESE PLAY😊
I'd remove a few and replace with Star Wars, Mario Bros, Spyhunter and a few other classics, but still a very solid list.
Those were the exact three I thought should have been on here. Well done!
I was wondering if anyone else loved Star Wars. That was my go to!
When the Arcade 1up came out with Star Wars, I had to get it. No regrets, it is just like the arcade, just a little smaller. I played the heck out of that when I was a kid.
They're all good, but it's missing my favorites: Beast Busters, World Heroes 1&2, Mappy, Space Gun, Aero Fighters & of course, Spy Hunter.
Good times right there! 😎
Dear 80's ~
Wow.. this arcade list has some serious nostalgia sensory overload! Remember being an 80's kid going to the arcade with family and friends. First games played were Pac-Man and Galaga. Followed by Bad Dudes at the local pizza joint. Than when Double Dragon I and II came along.. that solidified the Beat-Em Ups! The Simpsons, TMNT, The Avengers and X-Men where the 4 player kid party games of the late 80's.
Hello 90's ~
When Street Fighter II came out it was bye-bye Beat-Em-Ups. Capcom and Snk (Neo-Geo) seemed to take over with many games. Then Mortal Kombat comes out, everyone was in shock and awe when they caught glimpse at the blood and fatalities. Killer Instinct probably had one of the most impressive arcade attracts of the time. Time Killers, though not a great game was always remembered by my cousin and I for the creepy voice announcer and intense sound effects. Than the birth of polygonal 3d fighters comes about, Virtua Fighter I and II, Tekken, as well as Soul Edge. Virtua Fighter II became the main attraction at the mall arcade with a huge screen and a sit down arcade station. Motocross and Cruis'n USA were pretty damn fun and who didn't love the bikini chick in Cruis'n 👀.
The Memories ~
Arcades from back in the days were a special time that you could never really replicate nowadays. Remember watching older guys tear it up in competitive games and placing their quarters on the arcade dash to signify "I'm up next!". My buddies older brothers showing us how to cheat on Skee-Ball to get maximum tickets at Bonkers to get mini squishy troll toys 😂. Luckily having that cool aunt that was heavily into video games bringing you out on weekend arcade excursions and having all the good nes games at Grandma's house. An lastly, the fond memory of how mum would ask if you want to go to the arcade at the mall so she can abandon you for 2-3 hours with a giant cup of quarters.. while she goes shopping 🤣. "Ah the good ol' days!"
Wow!! yes indeed the perfect list and very well put together, I so remember waiting for the school lunch bell to ring and suddenly a mad dash of us kids running across the road to be the first into a shop with a games room at the back, really just 2 one was ASTEROIDES and the other was GALAXIAN and that's where all my lunch money went, today at 54 I just bought a modded ps2 and I have yet to play, but my main reason to buy is hoping to find our childhood Arcade Gems on this, games mentioned above and of course the number 1 of all time PAC MAN these midway arcade where can I find them, you just created the perfect list and I really want to bring this to my living room 🤗
Child hood memories great time's spent alot of time playing most of these great games.
I miss the arcades. Gaming at home is alright, but not nearly as fun as the arcades.
Home is boring... Arcade always something interesting happens

A good list!
Para mi tambien Mario Bros es top 1
Altered Beast! yes please. So good.
I would add to your list NARC
I had a Super Pac-Man growing up. I knew the best pattern for getting way up there. Dad sold it for a Juke Box. What was he thinking! Still have the tabletop Galaxian though.
Very enjoyable to watch and reminisce. I would have liked to see Paperboy make this list.
Agreed. There should be more arcade games that recreate the job you do to earn the money to spend in the arcade.
so much joy and nostalgia watching this. I can smell the old arcade's deepfryer right now 🙂
Really thanks for this video and all work done 👏👏 very good, keep doing more ! ;)
Good list. I would move Missile Command and Galaga up the list . Of course these were among some of my favorites so might have slight bias 😆
Que gram recompilacion,me encanto,felicidades y por cierto que front utilizas en este video para que se vea las arcades con su marquesina??
Great video, brought back loads of memories. Space Invaders should have got top spot. Some old greats missed such as Qix, Marble Madness and Rygar.
Wonderful video, Dude!
All those classics, I cannot believe y'all FORGOT KILLER INSTINCT
Ultraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Combooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great List. So many great titles, only so much space.
I would also have considered...
*Hard Drivin/Race Drivin
*Ikari Warriors
*Dragon's Layer
*Star Wars Arcade
*Tron
*Cruisin USA
Cruisin' USA was awesome. San Fransico Rush was decent too. I could play Ikari Warriors for hours. I still hear the theme song in my head.
Great presentation style! Easy to read title names and great game play snippets. Keep up the great videos.
bellissimo video! quanti ricordi 😍😍🥺
Absolutely adored arcades as a kid. You had to spend your money wisely and it was a great way to make new friends.
I would have added robocop And the original star wars to this list as well as afterburner
Good list, but there are many games that I remember people going crazy for that really need to be on this list. Bad Dudes, Pit Fighter (terrible game, but it was a big deal at the time), Moon Patrol, WrestleFest, Commando, Virtua Fighter
Bad Dudes was epic
