That much Arcade Game history shouldn't be on the same list. Comparing Arcade version 1 of Space Invaders against Super Mario Bros is like comparing eating a just picked orange and watching ducks on a pond while standing by yourself VS eating Duck a'lorange in Paris France sitting down at a cafe with the person you just eloped with. Pong - 1981, 1982 - 1985, 1986 - 1989, The 90s didn't have as much rapid change in hardware tech, for one example though: Virtua Fighter 1 shouldn't have to compete with the final stable patch edition of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, both are on different hardware platforms that give a completely different gaming experience.
Thanks a lot for this Kim! I was addicted back them in Spain, there were a lot of them even in my neighborhood. We had them in "bars" (they are like Spanish version of pubs). It was so shitty to play when everyone was smoking but it was such an excitement when I could discover a hidden treasure. I remember escaping my parents so many times to check the arcade machines of every pub, every city we visited. Cannot wait to see your take on this. Best documentaries of videogames. Thanks!!!
25-30 years ago I used to visit my grandfathers in Spain for the summer in Cambrils (I live in France) and it was heaven for me; 3 arcades around me, arcade cabinets in almost every bar. I have great memories of a bartender playing the first ASO, it was a pleasure to watch him play, made me fall in love with shmups.
What a thoroughly enjoyable journey through your favourite arcade games. I can’t argue with any of your choices as this is such a personal list. My age and nostalgia for certain titles might produce a slightly different list / order but wouldn’t be essentially much different. Thanks for taking the time to make this one. So nice to sit through and let the memories flood back.
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, really enjoyed it. Spotted loads of my old favourites (Bad Dudes, Robocop, Double Dragon, Turtles etc) I do also have a soft spot for Pit Fighter (seriously!) Couldn't agree more on your choice of no 1- loved Wrestlefest as I was a massive WWF fan in late 80's / early 90's :)
Those crunchy bassy punch and kick sounds of the old beat-em-ups as they echoed inside the wooden cabinets really hit the nostalgia bone for me. Some of my fondest memories of spending hours at the arcade.
I love arcade games so much I turned my wayfair desk into a cabinet...drilled the holes for the buttons and lever, added supports so it is mounted to the corner walls of my office so I can really jam down on the lever without moving the desk a nanometer. It barely obstructs my ability to type and use the desk, too...best idea I have had in awhile. I love it, and use the stick for everything from Streets of Rage Remake to Rondo of Blood to Final Fantasy 7 to Chilren of the Atom and all my fav 90's arcade titles via retroarch.
Funnily enough the first time I played Virtua Fighter was also at Gatwick airport when I was going on holiday with my best friend and her family when we were about 12. We were so intrigued by it we couldn't stop playing, so much so that we almost missed our flight, fun memories. Always enjoy these countdown videos Kim, hope to see more in the future.
At number 2, I literally said out loud "so what's your 1st? Wrestlefest?" In a joking manner as I always played it as a kid. I burst out laughing when I was right. It wasn't the best, it was kinda clunky and an absolute coin devourer. But there's no denying the effect it had when we were young. I loved it too. The chunky characters, the voices... it was great. Mame..... oh maaaaaame! Love it! Great list, Kim! Incredibly entertaining watch.
Can you imagine trying to survive family holidays back in the 80s and 90s without the aid of arcades? A truly horrifying thought. Great list. Definitely similar to my own experiences, and honestly, fighting and wrestling games can come and go, adding more bells and whistles, but the top two here will always be the benchmarks.
I just started watching this video & I never new that ocean made the first robocop game & licensed it to Data East.. I'd love to see a COMPLETE HISTORY OF ROBOCOP VIDEOS GAMES Video from you Kim!! I think you would knock it out of the park & it would be an amazing documentary!!
Making a list like this really does come down to your memories of playing these games growing up. In the last year I was able to get a home system with many of these games loaded on to it and it has been a lot of fun rediscovering them or playing them for the first time. My personal favorites would be Galaga, Street Fighter 2-Champions Edition, and Konami's X-Men 6 player, but again when it comes to favorites it's all about those great memories at your local arcade. Now I'm going to try a few of them from your list that I didn't see as much growing up.
Amazing video, thank you for much for making it. I especially like the pick of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, I have never seen that on any list before. Hopefully the days of the arcades with these classics will return!
I remember the C64 loading music for games it was so cool :) . Nowadays games load so fast and with Resume on Xbox Series X there is zero wait time at all. It's incredible really but i do miss the music of the old days :)
@@DEVILTAZ35 Cybernoid 2 had the best loading music. I wish I kept all my C64 music tapes from the magazines. I have tap backups but its not the same :)
This is great Kim! I've built my own arcade machine, running a Virtuaman image with over 2000 games; so much history to catch up on. Yesterday I played through Sunset Riders. And I had all the coins I could ever need to do so! Happy days
I love how whenever I watch your lists, even though we really disagree on a lot of games, you sell your reasoning very well. I totally get why you put what you put well. Though obviously a list like this will have some steep cuts, there are a few games I feel are sorely missing! At least for me, some of my favorites: Satan's Hollow. Tempest. Battle Zone. I Robot. Star Trek. Super Locomotive. Columns. Jackrabbit. Radiant Silvergun. Ikaruga. Fighting Vipers. Sonic the Fighters I could go on for literal ages lol
OMG I FORGOT ANTEATER. I feel ashamed, that's like #3 for me. Super locomotive, Tempest, Anteater. My top 3. I'm a big 80s arcade girl, I love score grinding =w=
great list, I play at least half these games with my boys on our Pandora. They love them and play when im not about, just proves how classic these type of games are. They even manage to take them away from Minecraft, and they are nuts for that bloody game.
These bring back some crazy memories! Thanks (some I'd forgotten). Also paperboy, r type 2, forgotten worlds and ghouls and ghosts along with many others. London as a kid was such a fun time.
I was sad to hear about the death of Sir Clive Sinclair a legend in the word of British computing. I remember my Spectrum 48k then getting a spectrum +3 with a light gun. Happy childhood memories. I was never brave enough to drive around in a Sinclair C5. Electric cars are the future now. One day all cars will be electric , so you could say the C5 was ahead of its time. My all time favourite arcade game is The New Zealand Story, Another well made video Kim. Your work here is amazing.
I do find it fascinating how different this list is compared to anything I'd put together if doing one myself. I wasn't fortunate enough to get to play the majority of games in an arcade, but instead have spent over 20 years getting them emulated so what I've been exposed to and grown to enjoy is almost entirely different. I should put together that list of my own at some point, but I know just how long it takes to record the footage, script everything, record and edit the voiceover etc. even for a short 10-15 minute video, so I can only imagine how long this almost 2 hour one too you.
@@seebarry4068 yeah that's what I'm getting at. Kim's stories of multiplayer experiences are replaced with ones more focused on a single player experience, and trying to figure out how things worked. It's why I always enjoy watching these videos, hearing the different stories etc.
Awesome video!! Thanks Kim. Was literally looking at my YT subs and thinking to myself - "you know what...I could definitely do with an upload from KJ"....et voilà immediately catch sight of this. Made my day. Lucky enough to own quite a few of these. Great to hear your thoughts on them.
Good first choice! I played that Royal Rumble mode so much, it was such hectic fun. That era when you could randomly walk into an arcade and be absolutely blown away by some game you never even know existed has long past, but I'm glad I'm old enough to have experienced it.
I always get very nostalgic when i watch your videos as i played and loved most of these games when i was a kid in the 80s and also grew up on the speccy..keep up the great work mate..
Amaziing list! I only missed Konami's Violent Storm. The third installment of the Crime Fighters Trilogy and imo the best final fight clone/tribute that exist in the arcades. Its music and overall presentation is just awesome.
Another great video Kim! I appreciate that 15 minute videos on You Tube have their place but everytme I get a notification for one of yours, I know It will be a good long one! Keep it up! :)
Your lists are always such fun journeys. :-) If I could own one cabinet in my home, it would be an old-school Asteroids cab. That game never gets old to me.
Robocop 2 is one of my favorite games. I feel it was much better than the first. When Murphy dies and the count down begins, the animation of him is tramatic af lol
Thanks Kim, really enjoyed this video! If I had to choose only one arcade cabinet it would be Point Blank, had some crazy times with friends playing that game. If I could take two, the second would be Daytona. I remember at our local arcade some ruffian who was a regular would manage to peel back the corner of the Daytona pay slot panel and squeeze his hand in there and push the secret button for free credits. Don't know how he always got away with it he looked so suss!
I would have put outrun in the top 10, probs swap it with space harrier for sega super scroller in top ten, but I was at first, as you predicted, questioning not having streetfighter 2 at number 1 because to me it has perfect game play, characters and music, but then… being absolutely in love with ultimate warrior and hulk hogan, so much so I have a figure of each placed beneath my living room tv, you put them as number 1 with all their supporting cast in all their arcade glory. Well done Kim
Yes! Wrestlefest! It is such an amazing game, the biggest compliment I can give it is that it has never been replicated. The AI is excellent and better than the likes of No Mercy.
Brilliant, thanks for doing this. Some great choices there. And yes The Legend Of Kage. I loved that game as young un. Although believe it or not I actually didn't know it was an arcade game until recently. I played it death on The ZX Spectrum, I loved the Spectrum conversion. I got it one Christmas and must of played it for months and months, even after completing it multiple time, for me personally I just couldn't get enough of it.
Another fun top 100! Great work Kim! We're getting closer and closer to that Top 100 PS1 games, that's the one I'd like to see the most since it's my N1 console :D
Great video 👍 Surely Ghoul 'n' Ghosts and R-Type need a place in there? You should play Boogie Wings too. It's what would happen if UN Squadron, Metal Slug and Dynamite Headdy had a lovechild...it's insanely good 😂
Wow I did not expect that so many of my quirky top 10 picks ended up in your top 10 as well…number 9, 6 and 5! Huge favourites here. Great video overall. Only games I would have loved to see there would be some Psikyo games: Strikers 1945 and Gunbird series are amazing. Of the golden age games I also love Centipede and Dig Dug, but I loved all your shoutouts to that era. One gaming company I used to work for had a Robotron machine and man if I had one machine from that era at home that would be an easy pick.
I work at an arcade, it's actually a restaurant that is also a vintage 1980's and 1990's arcade and we had RoBo cop there on grand opening but it was glitching pretty bad just a week later. I really liked the RoboCop arcade game too.

@@jzed122 bozo no one needs your opinion
The sound of the guy dying in the attract sequence for Space Harrier could be heard above every other noise in the arcade
That is so true :)
Not when there was a Punch-Out cabinet in the room. "Body blow, body blow!"
The sounds of Blackpool in the 80s. Good times
"Arrrgggghhhhh.....get ready"...but i think chase hq would give it a run for its money for how loud it was in the arcade.
👌👌👌
Thanks a lot for this Kim! I was addicted back them in Spain, there were a lot of them even in my neighborhood. We had them in "bars" (they are like Spanish version of pubs).

Ouîu
weren't there arcades?
Metal Slug will always be #1 for me. But then you realize that you haven't even played 98% of the games on this phenomenal list.. What a video!
Thank you Leo! As it happens, I've enjoyed a lot of your bass vids!
Top 100 while I'm wallpapering? Let's go! ♡
You just wanted to tell someone that lmao clown
What a thoroughly enjoyable journey through your favourite arcade games. I can’t argue with any of your choices as this is such a personal list. My age and nostalgia for certain titles might produce a slightly different list / order but wouldn’t be essentially much different. Thanks for taking the time to make this one.

As an 80s baby i lived in the arcade. Miss those days
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, really enjoyed it.

Couldn't agree more on your choice of no 1- loved Wrestlefest as I was a massive WWF fan in late 80's / early 90's :)
Those crunchy bassy punch and kick sounds of the old beat-em-ups as they echoed inside the wooden cabinets really hit the nostalgia bone for me. Some of my fondest memories of spending hours at the arcade.
@Newsbender II Not sure where they were located, but the acustics around that region of the wood "tunnel" type shape was really nice.
So many hours I’ve spent playing these games back in the day, and so many coins I’ve spent! Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
“Raider Trad” is the only shooter to take more of my money than Galaga!
TMNT, Simpsons, and Gauntlet Legends were always my favorites!! Awesome list and so much nostalgia.
I love arcade games so much I turned my wayfair desk into a cabinet...drilled the holes for the buttons and lever, added supports so it is mounted to the corner walls of my office so I can really jam down on the lever without moving the desk a nanometer. It barely obstructs my ability to type and use the desk, too...best idea I have had in awhile. I love it, and use the stick for everything from Streets of Rage Remake to Rondo of Blood to Final Fantasy 7 to Chilren of the Atom and all my fav 90's arcade titles via retroarch.

Funnily enough no one cares
I was not expecting a Venetian Snares reference in this video but that's why I love the channel. Great video Kim!
What was it? i missed it!
@@Jamal_Tyroneshe said Defender sounded like a Venetian Snares concert. The reference caught me off guard too
Well done Kim, I couldn't even name 100 Games, never mind put them in order and speak so eloquently about them!
At number 2, I literally said out loud "so what's your 1st? Wrestlefest?" In a joking manner as I always played it as a kid. I burst out laughing when I was right.

Your work, Jeremy parish, mvg and the retro hour, all great chroniclers of gaming history. Each with a unique take. Love all of your work.
The perfect topic for the moment.

EDIT: and an RLM reference to start. *chef's kiss*
I can't even imagine how many hours you sunk into this, but it really shows. They provide me with some sort of "during the day"-asmr 👍 Very well done!
I just started watching this video & I never new that ocean made the first robocop game & licensed it to Data East.. I'd love to see a COMPLETE HISTORY OF ROBOCOP VIDEOS GAMES Video from you Kim!! I think you would knock it out of the park & it would be an amazing documentary!!

Wow! Thanks for this Kim! I always enjoy videos like this, The Top 100 Amiga games being a big favourite.
I always loved the surprise cabinets you’ve never seen before. Commonly found in chip-shops and motorway service stations.
I love your top 100 lists so much and have been missing them lately. Thank you for this

Imma roll one up for this. Enjoy!
People actually buy and drink red stripe? amazing

Your taste in arcade games is absolutely impeccable, Kim. Great list!
Brilliant video as always, so indepth and I always come away learning more about gaming history. Well done Kim!
Kim, I love you.. These videos are the highlight of my RUclips journey - for real.
Thanks great video! I am in an arcade mood atm has been great seeing so many great ones I’d never seen b4…
Never should I have shown up to a Kim Justice video so early! As always, excellent work, Kim!
What an epic video, so much beauty in action in sprite, polygon and synth music form!
I simply can't play Bionic Commando without the amazing C64 soundtrack.

Yeah do it as its well worth a watch specially if you grew up on a speccy like i did..

Was waiting to see where Neo Turf Masters placed haha. Nice to see it so (deservingly) high up :) Another great video!
Fantastic list Kim! Very happy to see a lot of your top 20 games are in the '89 arcade!
WOW...I feel so old 😂
Good video,better day's and better games cheers mate👍
Holy Christ this video is epic. Kim Justice at her very best. Thanks for the entertainment !
Damn, this is a great list. Good call on number 1!
Thank you Kim! Cool to see an arcade list from you, enjoyed it.
Amaziing list! I only missed Konami's Violent Storm. The third installment of the Crime Fighters Trilogy and imo the best final fight clone/tribute that exist in the arcades. Its music and overall presentation is just awesome.
Ah, Crime Fighters. The first game where kicking your opponent in the balls (and getting kicked in the balls yourself) was a thing.
I would argue that vendetta was the best of the three.
Another great video Kim! I appreciate that 15 minute videos on You Tube have their place but everytme I get a notification for one of yours, I know It will be a good long one! Keep it up! :)
Banger of a list. Good job, mate!
Your lists are always such fun journeys. :-) If I could own one cabinet in my home, it would be an old-school Asteroids cab. That game never gets old to me.
Another great video of the games of yesteryear. Brilliant stuff well done. Keep em coming Kim
Robocop 2 is one of my favorite games. I feel it was much better than the first. When Murphy dies and the count down begins, the animation of him is tramatic af lol
Just discovered your channel and you have a new subscriber😊amazing content like this video!! Greetings from Spain!
Pretty solid list! Thanks for sharing this Kim!
Excellent list and totally agree that wrestlefest should be #1,without a doubt the most addictive arcade game and never gets boring.
Not even watched yet but it's a new KimJ vid on arcade games.... Can't wait.
Thanks Kim, really enjoyed this video! If I had to choose only one arcade cabinet it would be Point Blank, had some crazy times with friends playing that game.
If I could take two, the second would be Daytona. I remember at our local arcade some ruffian who was a regular would manage to peel back the corner of the Daytona pay slot panel and squeeze his hand in there and push the secret button for free credits. Don't know how he always got away with it he looked so suss!
Just Found Your Channel. Excellent Content! - Another Sub For YOU.
I would have put outrun in the top 10, probs swap it with space harrier for sega super scroller in top ten, but I was at first, as you predicted, questioning not having streetfighter 2 at number 1 because to me it has perfect game play, characters and music, but then… being absolutely in love with ultimate warrior and hulk hogan, so much so I have a figure of each placed beneath my living room tv, you put them as number 1 with all their supporting cast in all their arcade glory. Well done Kim
And Kim's an RLM fan, impeccable taste 👌
Yes! Wrestlefest! It is such an amazing game, the biggest compliment I can give it is that it has never been replicated. The AI is excellent and better than the likes of No Mercy.
Great video Kim, thanks! xx
Kim, yes, it's the music in Marble Madness that makes it eerie! Classic soundtrack, wonderful graphics, iconic game!
"Our local chippy while you're waiting for the Cod to be fried and pestering dad for a 20p" is the most British thing I've ever heard.
Used to love going to the arcades at Southend-on-Sea in the 80’s as a kid.
This makes me want a MAME Cabinet. I agree with alot of your choices... Well done Kim
Brilliant, thanks for doing this. Some great choices there. And yes The Legend Of Kage. I loved that game as young un. Although believe it or not I actually didn't know it was an arcade game until recently. I played it death on The ZX Spectrum, I loved the Spectrum conversion. I got it one Christmas and must of played it for months and months, even after completing it multiple time, for me personally I just couldn't get enough of it.
Awesome list. I'm gutted that X-Men arcade and road blasters didn't make the list but then it's not my list. Thanks Kim
Another amazing list, doing a top 100 of anything is extremely difficult. I look forward to the next one
Another fun top 100! Great work Kim! We're getting closer and closer to that Top 100 PS1 games, that's the one I'd like to see the most since it's my N1 console :D
I never knew there was a sequel to one of my favourite ever games.. UN squadron... I'm off to find it and play it 👍
Great video 👍
Surely Ghoul 'n' Ghosts and R-Type need a place in there?
You should play Boogie Wings too. It's what would happen if UN Squadron, Metal Slug and Dynamite Headdy had a lovechild...it's insanely good 😂
The thumbnail with the mk ad is just gold insert a inquisition joke here but with raiden and kano XD
Love these top 100 videos ❤
Wow I did not expect that so many of my quirky top 10 picks ended up in your top 10 as well…number 9, 6 and 5! Huge favourites here. Great video overall. Only games I would have loved to see there would be some Psikyo games: Strikers 1945 and Gunbird series are amazing. Of the golden age games I also love Centipede and Dig Dug, but I loved all your shoutouts to that era. One gaming company I used to work for had a Robotron machine and man if I had one machine from that era at home that would be an easy pick.
Wonderful content. Nothing else to expect from you Kim. Thanks for all the work.

Thank you very much for showing! ❤️ L G M Berlin Germany.
Sunset Riders was dope as hell. I played it at an arcade in Vegas
I work at an arcade, it's actually a restaurant that is also a vintage 1980's and 1990's arcade and we had RoBo cop there on grand opening but it was glitching pretty bad just a week later. I really liked the RoboCop arcade game too.
