>>1185457 I remember walking into the arcades and seeing the NARC machine. Not a lot of games had it so every time one of those popped up we were blown away. Like the first time you saw the Outrun wheel machine or the Operation wolf machine, etc.

Forgot to answer the question... For me its Shinobi. Everything back then was Ninja this Ninja that. https://youtu.be/MpMC2_SCY7w

>>1187413 It's super rare, you lucky fuck. I heard they only made three thousand of them.

>>1185457 Blood Dragon seems like the obvious choice, no?

>>1185457 Zoomer please.

>>1191025 >Vaporwave look Take that dick out of your mouth retard.

This is 90s, but it's still worth mentioning that Revolution X, the Aerosmith arcade game where you launch CDs at bad guys, is a thing.

>>1208564 Also made by the same people who made NARC.

Not directly related to OP, but I feel like the most 90s game would have to be either Gex or Zombies Ate My Neighbors

>>1185457 Art of Fighting (1992)

What a great childhood memory.

Qbert. That's one that really stuck out to me because we had it for the TI99/4A, and there was a Saturday morning cartoon of it along with PacMan and Pink Panther. Or Super Mario 3 since the media blitz around it was pretty intense, and a defining moment for gaming in the 80's. The Wizard was basically one big commercial for it (and Nintendo in general). Just about anything Nintendo, though, is pure 80's because that shit was an absolute phenomena. Sticker books, lunch boxes, cartoons, movies, breakfast cereals, cheat code books, that shit was everywhere. It says 1632, is that a year or something? No, it's your top score on Pole Position I had a Master System growing up, not an NES. It took me a while to get how brutal that joke was. Also, maybe it just because I was kid with an unrefined pallet, but those Ralston Nintendo cereals were fucking amazing. Zelda/Mario Breakfast System > Donkey Kong Jr > Donkey Kong. Batman Cereal was right up there too, but not quite as good as the Breakfast System

For me it's the aesthetic 80s games had. There was a gritty futuristic vibe to them. Games like Contra, Raiden and Final Fight were like this.

>>1349350 Gex 2 or 3 has gotta win most '90s. Not only is it a 3D platformer, a genre which dominated the late '90s and then fizzled out pretty fast, but you spend half the game listening to Austin Powers quotes. It doesn't get much more '90s than that. NARC is a pretty good choice for most '80s, but Bad Dudes deserves at least an honorable mention.

>>1529558 Yeah good choice, bro.

While it came out in 1990, I'd give a serious 'honorable mention' to Smash T.V. It has so many 80's references: Robocop quotes, on top of having just a Paul Verhoeven ultraviolent vibe to it. Contestants look straight out of American Gladiators. A nod to The Running Man in being a game show where you murder everything in sight. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=RTa6d791RMk&t=182

I would fuck this game if I could

I'm honestly getting 80s fatigue and 20th century fatigue in general

>>1533874 I want more bronze age games that aren't survival crafting shit or city builders

>>1533874 >80s fatigue You're a homo

>>1534386 I want to play as this guy in a FPS (First Person Stabber).
