I don't like racing games. I LOVE OutRun.

[PixelGameSquad]

Super awesome video dude! Love the topic and your narration :D

[callmemarc]

Interesting how it's almost all older games. Almost nothing from the late 80s or 90s.

[DonCritic]

Ms Pac-Man and Contra would definitely have to be my favourites. Great video!

[theretrobro]

I love this. This is one of the biggest reasons why I love emulation so much I can now experience some of my favorite arcade games from my childhood now from the comfort of my couch

[RetroGamePlayers]

That's a great list! I actually have PacMan, Space Invaders Cocktail and a Galaxian Cocktail. But man I would love a Street Fighter 2 CE cab...

[mattogtripleog]

Great topic. My fav was star wars with the vector graphics and 2 hand controller. Good times!

[oldgamer]

PAC man and Space Invaders are two of my favourite games they never get old

[CORPSEFLOODGAMING]

Awesome vid JT! I’m proud owner of a Street Fighter II cab and Nintendo’s rip-off version of Space invaders called Space Fever, it’s pretty cool and I believe the 7th game Nintendo created. A sequel to it is built into the Gameboy camera

If I recall correctly the #1 position actually caused a coin shortage when it came out.

I read Chris Kohlers book "Power up" a few months back. He went really into detail on when all these things were leaving japan and coming to america and what the orders were like at the time. It was a really interesting read. We never had arcades where I lived as a kid, but I always loved the places when I visited the city.

Can you do a part with games like final fight, Simpsons, aliens, Strider etc...

[savagebeastb.m.f]

I have played everyone of those games b.i.t.d great video

[backinthedaygamer]

Great vid! I have a memory playing every1 of those cabinets. I still want an Out Run

[btetschner]

Totally makes sense.
Great video, thank you for making it.

[TheGameGrinder]

Honestly I'm not surprised by this list at all. Good to know, and great info! If I had to choose 10 machines to have in my arcade though, I wouldn't have most of these despite growing up with all of them.

[surfbodhi]

Great video! A trip down memory lane and terrific content. Thanks!

my channel number 91 is named after the year 1991 when street fighter 2 came out. that game changed my life and got me into fitness as well as gave me DECADES of video game entertainment through fighting games. double dragon is another game i truly love. very surprised it did not sell that well because that game was on fire in 1987 across the country. remember ALL those ports to so many consoles? arcades were amazing!

[Twincade]

Hi Smash JT.... Great video! We have most of these at my arcade in Indiana called Twincade. Stop by if you're ever near Chicago :) Sharing this video on our FB :)

[NESADDICT]

Really surprised mortal kombat 1 or 2 didn't make the list!

[ChescoYT]

Not true, the card arcade games in Asia have sold 10 times more.
