10 Arcade Cabinets That Will Instantly Make You Miss Your Childhood

When we listed the ten arcade cabinets that would make you miss your days in the arcade, you made it clear there were more games to be celebrated. We couldn't agree more.

Here are ten more games we miss.

Ten more glowing screens we remember plugging more and more quarters into. Ten more games we look back on fondly when we remember the arcades, movie theatres, and pizza places that drew crowds to play video games.

Samurai Shodown focuses on doing two things well: being quick and being strong. The game is so fast that there's a referee in the background letting you know who landed a hit.

The game also has somewhat authentic weapons and Japanese music, as well as a brief story with a different ending for each character. It may have popularized the modern day "Rage" meter, though it was called the "Pow" meter in Samurai Shodown.

Time Crisis was ridiculous (in a good way). Using light guns to take out baddies and stepping on a pedal to hide from them and reload was thrilling.Time Crisis II did the same thing, except it let you play with a friend, and it was even more crazy as more bullets flew through the air.

A large robot arm protrudes from the Arm Champs II cabinet, and for a few measly tokens, you can arm wrestle with it.

It ends up that a plastic arm attached to some motors is significantly stronger than it appears, especially if you pick the strongest of the nine available opponents.

Of course, you can cheat and use two arms. It's not like the machine is going to know. Just your pride. Your tarnished pride.

Silent Scope was unique in that it handed you a sniper rifle to aim at the screen. In a cool little gimmick, you could look through the scope to aim at your enemies, or look at the screen to see the whole environment.

You had to act fast, though. If you didn't take out your enemies fast enough, they would shoot back.

These days, Virtua Fighter doesn't hold as much historical clout as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. But when the game released, it was cutting-edge.

Virtua Fighter was among the first 3D fighting games and featured authentic fighting styles.

The series would eventually be acknowledged by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History for its contributions to the medium.

The International Arcade Museum describes Rush as "a racing game that takes place in San Francisco." Frankly, that's the gist of it.

The game had a following, though, and it would be ported from the arcade to the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation. It also spawned a series that would include the futuristic spinoff Rush: 2049.

Made by: Sega
Year: 1987

After Burner, as a game, wasn't revolutionary. Players would fly an F-14 Tomcat and shoot down enemy planes through a number of stages.

If you had access to the right cabinet, though, then After Burner was an experience. One version of this cabinet would rotate with the plane, making you feel like you were in the cockpit of a Tomcat. Suddenly, an average shooter was a lot more fun.

Made by: Capcom
Year: 1998

Marvel vs. Capcom did two things that keep it in conversation more than 16 years later. It brought together characters from Marvel and Capcom's franchises into one insane mash-up, and it brought tag-team fighting to arcades.

The idea of using Captain America to bash Ryu's skull in was enormously popular, and would lead to a popular sequel with a whopping 56 playable characters.

Year: 1999

If we wanted realistic football, we'd play Madden. Or watch John Madden (it was the '90s, remember?). But NFL Blitz didn't have all of the rules. It was the pure, unadulterated rush of gaining ten yards and your next first down while 400 lb. men tried to break your ribs.

Year: 1992

There are about 80 bazillion X-Men. The X-Men arcade game featured six to choose from (Cyclops, Colossus, Nightcrawler Wolverine, Storm, and Dazzler. Don't you feel bad for the friend who got stuck with Dazzler?) What was cool about the best version of the X-Men arcade cabinet was that it could fit six players and use all of these characters at once.

What better way is there to defeat Magneto, master of magnet than with five of your buddies?
