There were old games that first hit the arcades appearing on different consoles in the 90s.
Such of my favourites included:

Dragon's Lair (a game designed like an animated adventure)
Golden Axe
Streets of Rage
Sonic the Hedgehog
Street Fighter 2
Mortal Kombat

It's a shame these 2D arcade titles no longer roam the arcade. I remember being on holiday and saw arcade titles like Robocop, Shadow Warriors and Golden Axe.

Yes they did, a couple of em'.  Strange for Sonic Team, yet very cool.

I never went to the arcade much but I pretty much like every 2D Capcom fighting game ever made. Oh! And those SNK Neo Geo MVS machines! I always loved playing on those Grin And you can't leave out the great oldies like Pacman and Astroids!

One great Arcade game:

Galaga.

If the arcade only had Galaga, I would play it for hours and hours.

Yeah, gotta love all that insane violence and in the later games like Samurai Showdown 4(my favorite) you could do no contest finishers which were AWESOME!

You lucky...! Maaaan... I wish I could play those old Sonic arcade games again... I also wanna play the arcade version of Um Jammer Lammy. I guess I'll just have to settle for DDR. Annoyed

My first favourite arcade machine was probably the rare Super Mario Bros. upright arcade cabinate (can't spell today).

Fav arcade games of the 80's:
Black Tiger by Capcom
Disks of Tron by Midway (the one on one with cpu disk hurling one, not the 4 type game version)

The 90's:
Samurai Showdown 1 (never got to play the others Sad )
Soul Blade (or Edge, forget which one the arcade version was)
enjoyed quite a few NEO-GEO games.
Probably a few more but can't think of at the moment.
