I was stunned and believe anything could be possible with graphics like that. that was before polygons even hit.lol Sega and videogames will always be a part of my life and history. thank you for the trip down memory lane when he world seemed better.
Yeah man, walking into the arcade and playing stuff like Space Harrier and After Burner after years of Galaga and Pac-Man clones was so refreshing. See it all evolve over the years was truly a privilege.

How SEGA haven't made an Arcade classic collection yet still baffles me, it's something I would love to have, so much greatness left to the winds of time, and if not for MAME would be totatally unplaybale right now. No instead SEGA will just keep releasing Megadrive/Genesis collections till the end of time.

Retro gaming is so fashionable at the moment and people remember the likes of Outrun, Shinobi and Golden Axe if not necessarily their sequels. Just throw them in as well as bonus content. The plus side is these games have aged rather a lot better than Mega Drive versions and they are very well suited to dabbling with for 5 minutes here and there. They were designed for the most casual of game playing audiences in the first place.
SEGA haven't been known for good emulation/porting, right now they're still having struggles getting the Megadrive emulation perfect, let alone arcade games. Saturn is also renowned for being near impossible to emulate perfect due to it's complicated hardware. M2 plans to release some arcade games for their SEGA AGES line on the Switch however, including OutRun, Space Harrier and Virtua Racing, so just hope that project keeps going for a while.

You will find Sega Rally 2 twin cabinets here in Russia everywhere. It's arguably the most popular arcade cabinet in Russia since it's so widespread. Almost every big movie theatre has a twin cabinet, some cafes have them and absolutely every arcade has at least one of them. What baffles me is that even the ultra-rare F-Zero AX deluxe cabinets aren't so rare here, too. My local arcade even has two of them linked (as well as six seats of Sega Rally 2). And I'm sure that the arcades won't go away in the near future, because of the timeless classics like Sega Rally 2 and other Sega games. Oh, and we have a ton on Time Crisis 4's as well.
Golden Axe: The Revenge Of Death Adder was and still is one of my favorite games. Who knows how many quarters I dropped into it back in the day. Thanks for making this list, Sega Lord X.

Back to 2-D!! BACK TO 2-D!!!”
@@SegaLordX Hey man. There is a full sized sega 18 wheeler trucker game in abowling alley close by my place. Obscure to me but maybe you know some details of it and can add it to one of yer compilation videos? Thanks for a perfect channel btw
The “Galaxy Force” sit down space ship was incredible back in the day! I loved spiderman when it came out as well. Golden Axe RODA was so elite when it came out, the first time i saw it i spent probably 20$ + on it until my brother and I finished it. Then we started over and tried different paths! Its an absolute crime that it never saw a home release, it should have been a Saturn launch title!
Thanks for the video. So much nostalgy and so many memories. This feeling you got in the arcades, being blown away by a new game ... I just don't feel it anymore. Maybe I'm growing too old ('78 gen)
The SEGA arcade games were the biggest advertisment for the home consoles, in my opinion. I just bought my mega drive because of golden axe. When i saw it in a exposition, back in 1990, here in Brazil, i was mesmerized by the graphics in Altered Beast.
Believe it or not, my first impression of the Genesis was quite negative. Space Harrier II was a piss poor version compared to the beautiful arcade version, leading me to believe the machine underpowered. It wasn't until I saw Altered Beast that I reconsidered that stance. I realized that while the Genesis wasn't a Super Scaling beast, it certainly was a great piece of technology.
That's why I wanted to do this video. I know Sega fans hold many of these games in high regard and I wanted to remind everyone just how awesome they were.
Yep Outrun 2 is awesome, I play it where and whenever I see a cab. But my faves have got to be a Yu Suzuki treble, Outrun..Space Harrier...Afterburner. Those games are like a time machine to my childhood every time I play them, huge amounts of nostalgia :)
Sega played a big part of my arcade gaming back in the day. We also had a Sega land arcade back in the mid 90's at our Park Meadows mall. A lot of games you have on your list I've played and enjoyed myself.
Man do I love your video! Bringing back soooooo many memories. Playing Virtual Cop 2 with my best buddy during lunch breaks, those days will never come back.
Sega, and arcade game developers in general, SAVED GAMING! The amount of creativity, the lightning in a bottle effect going on in the arcades, was immense. I think people recognize this more and more now, but it will never be replicated as it was then.
I had Thunder Blade for the Sega Master System in all its 8-bit glory. It took me eight months to master that game. Outrunners for arcade with eight cabinets was great to play.
Yeah man....the arcades what a time...remember going with my friends and Sega had some of my favourites....Crackdown...MJ's Moonwalker...Shadowdancer...G-Loc...Golden axe As a kid the arcades (in the Netherlands) I got to were places divided into sections of slot machines with gambling addict chain smoking grown ups. And sections of lined up arcade game cabinets...Some of the best of that time Operation Wolf, Double dragon, Rolling thunder, big sit down After burner cabinet, Thunder blade....it was a real thrill to be there back then....
I'd love to see an arcade renaissance - create a new system board with the equivalent of 3 Geforce 1080ti's, 128GB of RAM etc. - large 4K screens and just create amazing games with dense environments not possible (well, not practical for most) at home.
CB W - True, but the technology will help get people off their butts to check out the arcade - arcades remained relatively popular through the mid 90's or so because they had games like Virtua Fighter 3 etc. on system boards that were just leagues beyond home console/PC hardware, you could only have those experiences in arcades. You're going to need powerful hardware with unique peripherals etc. to get teens/adults into modern arcades - if the gameplay/graphics are only just comparable to what they have at home, they're not going to bother.
A good gaming computer will still be considerably larger/more expensive than a console, any most people don't own $5000+ rigs, so I think there's still room to impress people in an arcade - custom arcade board with 4x 1080ti's, gobs of RAM and an 8-core Intel CPU could pump out some pretty impressive visuals and large-scale games, of course such an arcade system would be quite expensive. You are right about Arcades needing custom peripherals/seats etc. to attract people (like the new "Space Invaders" game with the giant guns at Dave and Busters).
These game were so important to me as a kid that I remember where I first played every game. The exact store or arcade or fairground. I can't normally remember to bring my own ass with me but I vividly remember these.
I think in the UK we have more Sega Rally units than even Daytona USA ones! mainly because obviously rallying is a more British sport, therefore there is a larger fanbase. A lot of Manx TT units about too :)
@@vyperii There used to be jobs where you'd be paid as a machine tester, I.e. linking up a few sega rally and making sure they work while the next four machines were being built, then repeat the process all day. My favourite story is the first 14 to 17 transformers machines were ruined because someone used screws that were too long and punctured the tubes in the back of the TV, they were write offs.
I felt the same way when I played outrun2 for the first time. I had the arcade platform where you sat in an actual ferrari shell and the volume for the motor was turned way up. It was great!
When it comes to the gods of the arcade everyone has a favorite, but I think that you have to put up a damn good argument to say that Sega wasn't the god of racing/car games - not only did they revolutionize the technology, but they also revolutionized the gameplay as well. Sega Rally made the driving surface a part of the gameplay, Crazy Taxi was a 3D open world racing game, Outrun introduced alternate paths... these are just the examples at the top of my head and they're things we take for granted now but that just proves that it's one of the many reasons Sega is the king of arcade racing games.
No Star Wars arcade? Man, I spent so much money playing that game back in it's peak. The local pizza shop had the stand up version in their lobby and the owner freaked out one day when I played all the way through from start to finish. He told me he hasn't seen anyone else beat that game before.
great video. you should make a video about things we had to deal with being a arcade kid of the late 80's and 90's. ie, playing a game while being on a win streak and your dad or mom telling you "we have to leave now" or needing to use the restroom while playing a game or walking up to a machine while some one was playing it and they would block the whole arcade so that you wouldn't ruin their progress.
My earliest memory of Sega in the arcade was when my brother got me to sit with him while he played Space Harrier and the moving seat made me cry! There were so many belters that Sega released though. Sega Rally and Daytona were indeed awesome but if was the one time I found a Virtual On cabinet in the wild that was probably the crowning moment of my Sega arcade upbringing. When I went back to the same arcade a few years later the machine had been replaced. It made me aware of how things have changed in the arcade scene over the years. Though I enjoy games like the Time Crisis series it was Sega's efforts that kept me coming back to the arcades. Oh, does anyone remember the Jurassic Park lightgun game Sega did? That was fun too.
Great selection! There are many truly game-changers on there, Thunder Blade was basically a 3D game made of 2D sprites, and Daytona USA needs no introduction. It truly is a pity that Gunblade never made it to the Saturn, and of course, that the Mega Drive didn't have hardware scaling and rotating capabilities as was initially intended, we could have got a plethora of interesting ports that way. Pretty interesting one that Spider-Man game, by the way!
Yeah, the lack of hardware scaling in the Genesis/Mega Drive always was a head scratcher. I understand it couldn't have been as powerful as the Super Scaler arcade boards, but to have nothing at all was a mistake seeing as how prevalent it was in their popular arcade games.
Absolutely. As much as I like the Master System, I still don't get why they thought it better to priorize backwards compatibility with it instead of more hardware capabilities for the VDP, an increased color palette or even a better way to implement PCM playback.
Great video segalord. This is one of your best works in a long while. That golden axe game looked sick as well. I'm always learning new stuff and vibing with the nostalgia your content provides.
Oh Sega Rally... I recently missed out on a dualcab for sale here in Belgium. So i went and got the model2 emulator running on my racing rig. I was a little dissapointed with the port to saturn but it still holds up gameplay wise. Outrun2 is a really good game, played it on PC, Xbox, PSP, xbox360 and still couldn't get enough! sadly I only got to see the cab in the arcade once. played 3 times in a row haha. sub+1 you deserve more subs ;)
I have long sought a Sega Rally cabinet here in the US, but the things are so rare I never see them. usually when I do, they are in hard disrepair. And I really appreciate the kind words. Should my content deserve it, the subs will come in time. :)
Sega built their empire in the arcades. They were always at best there. Sega then gave us great home consoles ( apart from the 32X and Mega CD ) to play their arcade ports. When the Dreamcast sold it's last console that signaled the "real" end of arcade ports dominance on home consoles, the market had been changing for years but that was the final nail in the coffin. I think the modern gaming world is due for a resurgence in arcade style games. Gaming today is fine but there can be a few too many long winded games and games that suffer with unnecessary gameplay "padding" and overuse of cutscenes (personal grumble). Maybe a modern day resurgence of high quality arcade style games on home consoles would great for the industry and for gamers, especially if Sega were making these types of games instead of crap 3D Sonic games.
I'm visiting Kyoto right now and I just hit the jackpot in a local arcade. One arcade cabinet had something like 700 games (granted, lot of them were just different region versions of the same game) in it! It had all the stuff like Street Fighters, Metal Slugs, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Mortal Combat, Streets of Rage etc. It even had the Spider-Man arcade game from this video. Needless to say that I gave visiting shrines and temples a pass for today, and spent the whole day glued to the machine with a mountain of coins besides me. Sad that you can't have arcade experiences like this outside of Japan anymore.
Great lists. Awesome video. It brings back a lot of memories. One of my favorites and first game I ever played back in 1989 is Shinobi Shadow Dancer, the Arcade game of course. It remains my favorite Shinobi game of all time, its a game a lot of people don’t discuss or forget when discussing Shinobi games. In my opinion its the better of the Shinobi games and it looks better too of all the series (not a fan of the 3DS anime style). The difficulty and one hit deaths is what made it unique, I never had a problem with it In fact not even as a kid. It did come out for the Master System but it has never received a proper port of the arcade. I love that game a lot, it brings a lot of memories.
Shadow Dancer was awesome. I liked the Genesis game too, but it was very different. It'd be awesome if Sega included it as an extra in one of their compilations.
The most impressive arcade I have ever experienced was Galaxy Force 2 Deluxe. That game was simply incredible for it's time and the cabinet was jaw dropping! However, Outrun 2 still remains my favorite arcade game to this day.
GREAT video, man. The hard work you put into this definitely shows. I'm gonna see if I can pick up that 3DS compilation of classic Sega games so I can play a decent version of Thunderblade.
Oh my, I played the SPIDERMAN arcade, it was fun!.. I have Virtua Cop and Virtua Cop on SATURN but never played them on arcade. Gunblade loos gorgeus!!! Thanks to you now I want to play GOLDEN AXE REVENGE OF DEATH ADER. I have both versions of OUT RUN 2 for XBOX and yes yes yes..... Bothe are some of my favorite games on xbox, along with HOUSE OF THE DEAD 3. My TOP 10 Sega Arcade games are: Altered Beast. Golden Axe. Pengo. Daytona USA. ( I played the 4 player edition) G-LOCK. Super Hang ON. Moonwalker House of the Dead 2 Virtua Fighter 2 Alien Syndrome.
It was a gut punch for sure. When I saw early screens of a Golden Axe for the Saturn back in 1994/1995, I thought for sure it was Revenge of Dead Adder. Instead, it was Golden Axe The Duel....
Loved (& still do!) Daytona, adored sega rally on my sega Saturn, and remember being blown away by the visuals on Scud racer (think it was called something else here in 🇬🇧). Really enjoying your vids 👍
Nobody did arcade games better than SEGA. As for OutRun 2, I caught wind of AM2s announcement of the game in development in early 2003. Needless to say I was very excited and soon enough, there were OutRun 2 cabinets all around me by 2004. The Xbox port was at the top of my Christmas list that year lmao.
By then I had simply given up on the arcades. I stop following any news or info online about games in the works. Walking in on that Outrun 2 was one of the biggest surprises I've ever had in gaming. I played the hell out of it.
Sega Lord X Ah, if only you had held out a bit longer. While arcades in general were on the decline, there were still quite a number of popular titles on the NAOMI board series, then the Chihiro soon followed with Virtua Cop 3 and House of the Dead 3 coming out ahead of OutRun 2.
Sega is my favorite to this day, but what's weird is I don't have many arcade memories as all our favorites from '85-'90 were other companies. It was the Master System that was my first conscious experience, and every great from Golden Axe to Strider, to Sega Rally were all played on home consoles. It's weird.
I once saw the full king sized outrun 2 cab with the 2 seater ferrari cockpit in an arcade, it is actually amazing. Coast to coast 2006 is a really great home version... totally worth modding an old xbox to install it on since the hard copy is really expensive these days.
Of course my favorites are After Burner, Hang-On, Super Hang-On, Enduro Racer, Rad Mbbile, OutRun, Turbo OutRun, Altered Beast and countless others within the Sega brand. Good picks though to check out and the ones you picked are among my favorites as well. Especially OutRun 2 which looks killer man.
Sega rally arcade cabs are still everywhere in the U.K. We just had a place near me open called arcade club and you pay £15 entry with all machines then on free play. Has 4 floors of arcade cabs from 70’s through the 2000s. Needless to say, it’s heaven.
This shouldn't surprise you, all of Segas stuff was made in Bridgend, South Wales and exported from there, including to the USA. This is why so little correct information exists about the cabinets. Oddly enough everything still exists, I have 5 and a quarter inch discs in my office from the 1980s with all these specs on, and the old amiga style discs as well as we got into the 90's.
Gunblade NY was one of my favorite games. Only came across 5 or 6 though. Hard to find in the wild (considered a deluxe cab?). I think the Dave and Busters near time square NY still has one online.
I crave for a sega arcades collection please please please as a 36 year old man i need this.. Great video and brilliant chilled atmosphere with the talk. Subscription achieved bud great work
Can't argue with this list at all. I'm sure some would baulk at you placing Sega Rally over Daytona, but Rally is a much more nuanced driving experience, and nothing beats the feel of the deluxe motion cabinets. I've had both of these machines in my home collection at different times, and I regret having sold them
Nice video, I saw 4 Sega Rally machines in Tijuana on Mexico, they where in those petter pipper pizza's, in fact many rare machines mentioned can found there, I also saw a completly origina Cool riders machine (a standup version)
To me personally playing afterburner in a sit down mechanically moving machine to play for 50 cents was the best ever IMO back in the first half of the 1980s. That's just my opinion. I never even played half the games listed here. I was fortunate enough to own the sega master system in the 1980s. I love your content. Hat's off to you.
I was the same with regard to Outrun 2, how did one of the best arcade games get released and I never even knew about it until years later? Also, one of the best games for the PSP. Outrun Coast 2 coast. It is right up there with the best pick up and play games like Tetris but with cars or something like that.
I still have all my old systems & games. Play them as much as current gen systems. But, also in my kitchen (dining area)..I have a Virtua Fighter 2 arcade machine. Picked it up for a crazy good deal back in early 2008.
The original Golden Axe was one of the first games I remember playing, so I could arguably thank Sega for at least some of my gaming tastes. Gunblade NY looks like a really fun game, a bit surprised it never got a Saturn port back in the day, though given the speed and complexity of it, I wonder if it would have been a bit too much for the hardware to pull off a good conversion.
I think that had Sega done it internally with the VC2 engine, the Saturn could have had a respectable version. The framerate would have had to have been halved, and there likely would have been some pop in issues. I would have taken it, though.
With a competent porting team (which at that time was almost like remaking alot of the game), Im sure it could have turned out decent at least. Another game I wish Sega would have ported was Wave Runner . obviously part of the game's appeal was the control method, but the Saturn could have used a good jet ski game (and the water could have been done by VDP2 a la Panzer Dragoon)
Gunblade and House of dead are the reasons I still keep my Wii running.. got a big Wii gun instead that Wii zapper, to get that arcade feeling. My local arcade has Daytona, you can't say the game is more than 20 years old, and one of the busiest section even compare to modern racing games in there. People still love to play it.
Not just my favorite Sega cabinet, my favorite arcade game period is Crazy Taxi. To me it is a perfect distillation of arcade essential gaming. Playing the arcade version is vital to the experience; ports may be fun, but they're invariably missing something without that gearshift and stompable pedal. The frenetic, high stakes gameplay is easy to learn and rewards the attentive and dedicated player, yet unrefined enough to not be intimidating. Plus that soundtrack. Need I say more?
In the late 90s I had pretty much stopped going to the arcades. I was a college student with a girlfriend and a part time job. Any free time I had for video games was spent with my Saturn. Why go out for Virtua Fighter 2 when I could play it in my apartment? But one game that pulled me back was Top Skater. That had to be played in the arcade and I absolutely loved it.

This channel is a gem. Was just thinking I'd never have considered wearing a Sega t-shirt back in the day, but now I like to show my Sega colors.
Just played through Spiderman for the first time at an arcade this past weekend and had a blast! Loved how it switched between game styles
It's a good game that I hope this video encourages folks to play.
The “Galaxy Force” sit down space ship was incredible back in the day! I loved spiderman when it came out as well. Golden Axe RODA was so elite when it came out, the first time i saw it i spent probably 20$ + on it until my brother and I finished it. Then we started over and tried different paths! Its an absolute crime that it never saw a home release, it should have been a Saturn launch title!
Galaxy Force was definitely a beast in the arcade. Still impressive today.
Thanks for the video. So much nostalgy and so many memories. This feeling you got in the arcades, being blown away by a new game ... I just don't feel it anymore. Maybe I'm growing too old ('78 gen)
I actually agree. The switch generation to generation has become quite unexciting.
The SEGA arcade games were the biggest advertisment for the home consoles, in my opinion. I just bought my mega drive because of golden axe.
When i saw it in a exposition, back in 1990, here in Brazil, i was mesmerized by the graphics in Altered Beast.
Believe it or not, my first impression of the Genesis was quite negative. Space Harrier II was a piss poor version compared to the beautiful arcade version, leading me to believe the machine underpowered. It wasn't until I saw Altered Beast that I reconsidered that stance. I realized that while the Genesis wasn't a Super Scaling beast, it certainly was a great piece of technology.
Looking at this brings back memories. Some of these I played at my local arcade and it was so fun. 😊
That's why I wanted to do this video. I know Sega fans hold many of these games in high regard and I wanted to remind everyone just how awesome they were.
Yep Outrun 2 is awesome, I play it where and whenever I see a cab. But my faves have got to be a Yu Suzuki treble, Outrun..Space Harrier...Afterburner. Those games are like a time machine to my childhood every time I play them, huge amounts of nostalgia :)
Sega played a big part of my arcade gaming back in the day. We also had a Sega land arcade back in the mid 90's at our Park Meadows mall. A lot of games you have on your list I've played and enjoyed myself.
We had an Aladdins Castle arcade that got all the big Namco and Sega arcade games for about 10 years. When it closed, I was gutted.
I've been binge watching your videos. Great stuff.
Lots of love.... a 45 y/o Sega nerd from the UK
Man do I love your video! Bringing back soooooo many memories. Playing Virtual Cop 2 with my best buddy during lunch breaks, those days will never come back.
Love outrun 2, SP and coast to coast. Possibly one of my favourite games of all time.
I play it regularly. It brings back that "feel good" nostalgia of the arcade for me.
Initial D has to be one of my favorite Naomi Arcade games
i need a stage 3 cabinet in my life
It's funny how Sega Rally was hard to find in the US. It was practically everywhere in Europe.
Outrun, The house of the dead and Afterburner probably my best arcade experience.
Sega, and arcade game developers in general, SAVED GAMING! The amount of creativity, the lightning in a bottle effect going on in the arcades, was immense. I think people recognize this more and more now, but it will never be replicated as it was then.
Sega clearly was the best arcade company in the 80s
By a mile.
I agree Namco took over the arcade scene in the 90s. and Capcom had street fighter.
Afterburner with the sit-down cockpit and Michael Jackson's moonwalker are my picks
Good picks, too.
I had Thunder Blade for the Sega Master System in all its 8-bit glory. It took me eight months to master that game. Outrunners for arcade with eight cabinets was great to play.
Yeah man....the arcades what a time...remember going with my friends and Sega had some of my favourites....Crackdown...MJ's Moonwalker...Shadowdancer...G-Loc...Golden axe
As a kid the arcades (in the Netherlands) I got to were places divided into sections of slot machines with gambling addict chain smoking grown ups. And sections of lined up arcade game cabinets...Some of the best of that time Operation Wolf, Double dragon, Rolling thunder, big sit down After burner cabinet, Thunder blade....it was a real thrill to be there back then....
I'd love to see an arcade renaissance - create a new system board with the equivalent of 3 Geforce 1080ti's, 128GB of RAM etc. - large 4K screens and just create amazing games with dense environments not possible (well, not practical for most) at home.
Yup. I've been hoping for this for a long time.
CB W - True, but the technology will help get people off their butts to check out the arcade - arcades remained relatively popular through the mid 90's or so because they had games like Virtua Fighter 3 etc. on system boards that were just leagues beyond home console/PC hardware, you could only have those experiences in arcades. You're going to need powerful hardware with unique peripherals etc. to get teens/adults into modern arcades - if the gameplay/graphics are only just comparable to what they have at home, they're not going to bother.
A good gaming computer will still be considerably larger/more expensive than a console, any most people don't own $5000+ rigs, so I think there's still room to impress people in an arcade - custom arcade board with 4x 1080ti's, gobs of RAM and an 8-core Intel CPU could pump out some pretty impressive visuals and large-scale games, of course such an arcade system would be quite expensive. You are right about Arcades needing custom peripherals/seats etc. to attract people (like the new "Space Invaders" game with the giant guns at Dave and Busters).
Taito has already made one with 4x GTX1080Ti inside.
That would be incredible! I grew up in the 80s and 90s and really miss the games and social aspect of Arcades.
These game were so important to me as a kid that I remember where I first played every game. The exact store or arcade or fairground. I can't normally remember to bring my own ass with me but I vividly remember these.
I think in the UK we have more Sega Rally units than even Daytona USA ones! mainly because obviously rallying is a more British sport, therefore there is a larger fanbase. A lot of Manx TT units about too :)
Count yourself lucky. You hardly ever see the game here. It's always Daytona 1 or 2, or one of those shitty San Francisco Rush knock offs.
Yeh in roadside service stations I always saw Sega Rally, not Daytona on British Motorways (Freeways).
Yes this is because the UK and USA versions were built in bridgend, south Wales and exported to the USA. We just changed the plug on the cabinet.
@@PaulDavies4 I had no idea- but that makes a lot of sense :)
@@vyperii There used to be jobs where you'd be paid as a machine tester, I.e. linking up a few sega rally and making sure they work while the next four machines were being built, then repeat the process all day. My favourite story is the first 14 to 17 transformers machines were ruined because someone used screws that were too long and punctured the tubes in the back of the TV, they were write offs.
So many fantastic memories playing OutRun 2 on Xbox back in 2004-2005.
Yup, it was a great version of the game. I wish Sega would make it backwards compatible with the Xbox One.
I felt the same way when I played outrun2 for the first time. I had the arcade platform where you sat in an actual ferrari shell and the volume for the motor was turned way up. It was great!
Outrun is my all time favorite. It NEVER gets old.
I'm a big SEGA fan, I record gameplay of these in IRL, Glad there is a channel showcasing SEGA's hits. Keep up the gameplay.
When it comes to the gods of the arcade everyone has a favorite, but I think that you have to put up a damn good argument to say that Sega wasn't the god of racing/car games - not only did they revolutionize the technology, but they also revolutionized the gameplay as well. Sega Rally made the driving surface a part of the gameplay, Crazy Taxi was a 3D open world racing game, Outrun introduced alternate paths... these are just the examples at the top of my head and they're things we take for granted now but that just proves that it's one of the many reasons Sega is the king of arcade racing games.
No Star Wars arcade? Man, I spent so much money playing that game back in it's peak. The local pizza shop had the stand up version in their lobby and the owner freaked out one day when I played all the way through from start to finish. He told me he hasn't seen anyone else beat that game before.
I considered it hard. Star Wars Trilogy blew me the hell away back then, too.
Virtual On was my fave arcade game. I miss getting to play it. Sega Rally here in Canada I only ever found the stand up which I loved.
my favourites are: daytona usa 2, star wars podracer, house of the dead 2, initial-d 3, scud race, hang on, f355, after burner, crazy taxi, sega rally
great video. you should make a video about things we had to deal with being a arcade kid of the late 80's and 90's. ie, playing a game while being on a win streak and your dad or mom telling you "we have to leave now" or needing to use the restroom while playing a game or walking up to a machine while some one was playing it and they would block the whole arcade so that you wouldn't ruin their progress.
My earliest memory of Sega in the arcade was when my brother got me to sit with him while he played Space Harrier and the moving seat made me cry! There were so many belters that Sega released though. Sega Rally and Daytona were indeed awesome but if was the one time I found a Virtual On cabinet in the wild that was probably the crowning moment of my Sega arcade upbringing. When I went back to the same arcade a few years later the machine had been replaced. It made me aware of how things have changed in the arcade scene over the years. Though I enjoy games like the Time Crisis series it was Sega's efforts that kept me coming back to the arcades. Oh, does anyone remember the Jurassic Park lightgun game Sega did? That was fun too.
Great selection! There are many truly game-changers on there, Thunder Blade was basically a 3D game made of 2D sprites, and Daytona USA needs no introduction.
It truly is a pity that Gunblade never made it to the Saturn, and of course, that the Mega Drive didn't have hardware scaling and rotating capabilities as was initially intended, we could have got a plethora of interesting ports that way.
Pretty interesting one that Spider-Man game, by the way!
Yeah, the lack of hardware scaling in the Genesis/Mega Drive always was a head scratcher. I understand it couldn't have been as powerful as the Super Scaler arcade boards, but to have nothing at all was a mistake seeing as how prevalent it was in their popular arcade games.
Absolutely. As much as I like the Master System, I still don't get why they thought it better to priorize backwards compatibility with it instead of more hardware capabilities for the VDP, an increased color palette or even a better way to implement PCM playback.
Yet again, amazing presentation. Great list! Keep up the amazing work!
Really happy you enjoyed it. Thanks. :)
Great video segalord. This is one of your best works in a long while. That golden axe game looked sick as well. I'm always learning new stuff and vibing with the nostalgia your content provides.
Thanks, man. I wanted this one to be good because I feel so strongly for Sega's arcade content. It was truly exceptional stuff.
Oh Sega Rally... I recently missed out on a dualcab for sale here in Belgium. So i went and got the model2 emulator running on my racing rig. I was a little dissapointed with the port to saturn but it still holds up gameplay wise. Outrun2 is a really good game, played it on PC, Xbox, PSP, xbox360 and still couldn't get enough! sadly I only got to see the cab in the arcade once. played 3 times in a row haha. sub+1 you deserve more subs ;)
I have long sought a Sega Rally cabinet here in the US, but the things are so rare I never see them. usually when I do, they are in hard disrepair.
And I really appreciate the kind words. Should my content deserve it, the subs will come in time. :)
Killer footage from some uncommon machines here. Excellent work!
Thank you!.
Thank you 4 mentioning the spiderman arcade! Nobody seems to remember it's Dr doom and venomous glory!
Oh man....Out Run always will be my Sega's favorite game ever. A masterpiece.
Sega built their empire in the arcades. They were always at best there. Sega then gave us great home consoles ( apart from the 32X and Mega CD ) to play their arcade ports. When the Dreamcast sold it's last console that signaled the "real" end of arcade ports dominance on home consoles, the market had been changing for years but that was the final nail in the coffin. I think the modern gaming world is due for a resurgence in arcade style games. Gaming today is fine but there can be a few too many long winded games and games that suffer with unnecessary gameplay "padding" and overuse of cutscenes (personal grumble). Maybe a modern day resurgence of high quality arcade style games on home consoles would great for the industry and for gamers, especially if Sega were making these types of games instead of crap 3D Sonic games.
I'm visiting Kyoto right now and I just hit the jackpot in a local arcade. One arcade cabinet had something like 700 games (granted, lot of them were just different region versions of the same game) in it!
It had all the stuff like Street Fighters, Metal Slugs, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Mortal Combat, Streets of Rage etc. It even had the Spider-Man arcade game from this video. Needless to say that I gave visiting shrines and temples a pass for today, and spent the whole day glued to the machine with a mountain of coins besides me.
Sad that you can't have arcade experiences like this outside of Japan anymore.
We have arcades where I am, but most are ticket redemption games.
Golden Axe will always be my favorite arcade game. And the Simpson's game was also a great classic. I lost allot of money on those 2
Great lists. Awesome video. It brings back a lot of memories. One of my favorites and first game I ever played back in 1989 is Shinobi Shadow Dancer, the Arcade game of course. It remains my favorite Shinobi game of all time, its a game a lot of people don’t discuss or forget when discussing Shinobi games. In my opinion its the better of the Shinobi games and it looks better too of all the series (not a fan of the 3DS anime style). The difficulty and one hit deaths is what made it unique, I never had a problem with it In fact not even as a kid. It did come out for the Master System but it has never received a proper port of the arcade. I love that game a lot, it brings a lot of memories.
Shadow Dancer was awesome. I liked the Genesis game too, but it was very different. It'd be awesome if Sega included it as an extra in one of their compilations.
The R360 cabinet was absolutely bonkers. Great list!
The most impressive arcade I have ever experienced was Galaxy Force 2 Deluxe. That game was simply incredible for it's time and the cabinet was jaw dropping! However, Outrun 2 still remains my favorite arcade game to this day.
I remember in hamleys London they had a 360°afterburner game. It was great hanging upside down and flying all over the place
Awesome video bud. Sega in the arcades were simply God tier.
GREAT video, man. The hard work you put into this definitely shows. I'm gonna see if I can pick up that 3DS compilation of classic Sega games so I can play a decent version of Thunderblade.
love the list! playing sega rally at our arcade last night, they have the spiderman game you mentioned here, had no idea it was made by sega
A lot of people don't even remember it existed. Sega never brought it home, so if you missed it in the arcade, that was it.
Oh my, I played the SPIDERMAN arcade, it was fun!.. I have Virtua Cop and Virtua Cop on SATURN but never played them on arcade. Gunblade loos gorgeus!!!
Thanks to you now I want to play GOLDEN AXE REVENGE OF DEATH ADER.
I have both versions of OUT RUN 2 for XBOX and yes yes yes..... Bothe are some of my favorite games on xbox, along with HOUSE OF THE DEAD 3.
My TOP 10 Sega Arcade games are:
Altered Beast.
Golden Axe.
Pengo.
Daytona USA. ( I played the 4 player edition)
G-LOCK.
Super Hang ON.
Moonwalker
House of the Dead 2
Virtua Fighter 2
Alien Syndrome.
Haha, Pengo. You know you're a Sega fan when you break out Pengo for a list. ;)
Awesome video ! Loved Spider-Man in the arcade ! I miss going to the arcade on a weekend
I miss everything about the arcade. They are nearly extinct where I am. Well, unless you count that crud that Dave & Busters peddles.
Makes my stomach turn knowing that golden axe game never came to the Saturn. I never knew it existed till TH-cam...
It was a gut punch for sure. When I saw early screens of a Golden Axe for the Saturn back in 1994/1995, I thought for sure it was Revenge of Dead Adder. Instead, it was Golden Axe The Duel....
Loved (& still do!) Daytona, adored sega rally on my sega Saturn, and remember being blown away by the visuals on Scud racer (think it was called something else here in 🇬🇧). Really enjoying your vids 👍
Nobody did arcade games better than SEGA. As for OutRun 2, I caught wind of AM2s announcement of the game in development in early 2003. Needless to say I was very excited and soon enough, there were OutRun 2 cabinets all around me by 2004. The Xbox port was at the top of my Christmas list that year lmao.
By then I had simply given up on the arcades. I stop following any news or info online about games in the works. Walking in on that Outrun 2 was one of the biggest surprises I've ever had in gaming. I played the hell out of it.
Sega Lord X Ah, if only you had held out a bit longer. While arcades in general were on the decline, there were still quite a number of popular titles on the NAOMI board series, then the Chihiro soon followed with Virtua Cop 3 and House of the Dead 3 coming out ahead of OutRun 2.
Sega is my favorite to this day, but what's weird is I don't have many arcade memories as all our favorites from '85-'90 were other companies. It was the Master System that was my first conscious experience, and every great from Golden Axe to Strider, to Sega Rally were all played on home consoles. It's weird.
I once saw the full king sized outrun 2 cab with the 2 seater ferrari cockpit in an arcade, it is actually amazing. Coast to coast 2006 is a really great home version... totally worth modding an old xbox to install it on since the hard copy is really expensive these days.
Of course my favorites are After Burner, Hang-On, Super Hang-On, Enduro Racer, Rad Mbbile, OutRun, Turbo OutRun, Altered Beast and countless others within the Sega brand. Good picks though to check out and the ones you picked are among my favorites as well. Especially OutRun 2 which looks killer man.
Great nostalgic top 10!!!
Thanks for the video!
Sega rally arcade cabs are still everywhere in the U.K.
We just had a place near me open called arcade club and you pay £15 entry with all machines then on free play. Has 4 floors of arcade cabs from 70’s through the 2000s. Needless to say, it’s heaven.
This shouldn't surprise you, all of Segas stuff was made in Bridgend, South Wales and exported from there, including to the USA. This is why so little correct information exists about the cabinets. Oddly enough everything still exists, I have 5 and a quarter inch discs in my office from the 1980s with all these specs on, and the old amiga style discs as well as we got into the 90's.
Gunblade NY was one of my favorite games. Only came across 5 or 6 though. Hard to find in the wild (considered a deluxe cab?). I think the Dave and Busters near time square NY still has one online.
I saw the game quite often for awhile. Time has taken care of that, though. I hardly ever see it now.
I crave for a sega arcades collection please please please as a 36 year old man i need this..
Great video and brilliant chilled atmosphere with the talk. Subscription achieved bud great work
My top 10
Galaxy Force
Golden Axe
Outrun
Thunder Blade
After Burner
Daytona
Choplifter
Altered Beast
Space Harrier
Virtua Fighters
Moonwalker
Good list. I liked Moonwalker as well.
AWESOME video. I'm agree with each word.
Man I remember when I first encountered GA: RoDA. Totally blown away by by the first stage, the female centaur, and THAT MUSIC.
Yeah, it blew me away, too. I loved the look and sounds of the game. It was truly 2D pushed to the max back then.
Props gor featuring Spider-Man The Video Game!
Can't argue with this list at all. I'm sure some would baulk at you placing Sega Rally over Daytona, but Rally is a much more nuanced driving experience, and nothing beats the feel of the deluxe motion cabinets. I've had both of these machines in my home collection at different times, and I regret having sold them
My favorites Sega arcade games back in the day were Golden Axe, Altered Beast & Out Run. I think Sega is the best arcade developer ever.
Outrun 2006 AKA Outrun Coast to Coast, are by far my favorite Rendition of outrun, but playing the original is just as great.
I can play any version of it. Awesome game.
Nice video, I saw 4 Sega Rally machines in Tijuana on Mexico, they where in those petter pipper pizza's, in fact many rare machines mentioned can found there, I also saw a completly origina Cool riders machine (a standup version)
To me personally playing afterburner in a sit down mechanically moving machine to play for 50 cents was the best ever IMO back in the first half of the 1980s. That's just my opinion. I never even played half the games listed here. I was fortunate enough to own the sega master system in the 1980s. I love your content. Hat's off to you.
I was the same with regard to Outrun 2, how did one of the best arcade games get released and I never even knew about it until years later?
Also, one of the best games for the PSP. Outrun Coast 2 coast.
It is right up there with the best pick up and play games like Tetris but with cars or something like that.
I still have all my old systems & games. Play them as much as current gen systems. But, also in my kitchen (dining area)..I have a Virtua Fighter 2 arcade machine. Picked it up for a crazy good deal back in early 2008.
sit-down Power Drift might be my #1. What an awesome racing experience!
Kudos for being so active in the comments. Also, sweet outro music!
Sega is what arcades need now days ... experiences ... there all just ticket machines and ways to cash in... at least here they are.
The original Golden Axe was one of the first games I remember playing, so I could arguably thank Sega for at least some of my gaming tastes.
Gunblade NY looks like a really fun game, a bit surprised it never got a Saturn port back in the day, though given the speed and complexity of it, I wonder if it would have been a bit too much for the hardware to pull off a good conversion.
I think that had Sega done it internally with the VC2 engine, the Saturn could have had a respectable version. The framerate would have had to have been halved, and there likely would have been some pop in issues. I would have taken it, though.
With a competent porting team (which at that time was almost like remaking alot of the game), Im sure it could have turned out decent at least.
Another game I wish Sega would have ported was Wave Runner . obviously part of the game's appeal was the control method, but the Saturn could have used a good jet ski game (and the water could have been done by VDP2 a la Panzer Dragoon)
Dude, you drove four hours round-trip for Sega Rally? Now that's dedication.
Such classic games, brings back so many memories.
Great list. Outrun 2 is pretty much my favorite...well, anything to do with driving.
Gunblade and House of dead are the reasons I still keep my Wii running.. got a big Wii gun instead that Wii zapper, to get that arcade feeling.
My local arcade has Daytona, you can't say the game is more than 20 years old, and one of the busiest section even compare to modern racing games in there. People still love to play it.
House of the Dead was the first game I pumped enough money into to beat in the arcade. That game impressed the hell out of me when it came out.
I saw an outrun 2 arcade cabinet in a casino a while back and man I'm kicking myself for not playing it especially since I love the first game.
If you ever see one again, don't make the same mistake. ;)
@@SegaLordX I loved the game so much I bought my own arcade cabinet lol
You rock man,long live sega
Not just my favorite Sega cabinet, my favorite arcade game period is Crazy Taxi. To me it is a perfect distillation of arcade essential gaming. Playing the arcade version is vital to the experience; ports may be fun, but they're invariably missing something without that gearshift and stompable pedal. The frenetic, high stakes gameplay is easy to learn and rewards the attentive and dedicated player, yet unrefined enough to not be intimidating.
Plus that soundtrack. Need I say more?
In the late 90s I had pretty much stopped going to the arcades. I was a college student with a girlfriend and a part time job. Any free time I had for video games was spent with my Saturn. Why go out for Virtua Fighter 2 when I could play it in my apartment? But one game that pulled me back was Top Skater. That had to be played in the arcade and I absolutely loved it.
Great to rediscover you on TH-cam :)
Thanks bud. Appreciate the message. :)

Greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩, Southeast Asian. Nostalgic SEGA Games 80s 90s 2000s.
❤👍👍👍
There needs to be a "Sega: authentic arcade collection" for us who missed all of their greats...
You forgot Shinobi.
And Space Harrier.
And that one submarine game.
I'm just messing with you. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad SEGA is still making arcade games up today - Initial D Arcade Stage Zero is a great follow up to the series in my opinion.
I hope sega will realize my dream Virtua fighter 6.
