Best of Arcades in 1990-x

Fortunately after the "Great Video Game Crash of 1983,'' one of the greatest and most popular games of all time, Super Mario Bros. came out on the much-loved console that is the NES.

The Arcade Industry tried hard to improve its financial wounds during the middle and the end of 1980's.  To tell the truth, some went out quite decently with such games as Atari's Gauntlet, and Marble Madness. However, some went out, not so well, such as Capcom's Final Fight and Capcom's Street Fighter.

Nevertheless, another great change happened in 1991, when you began to hear about games like Street Fighter II.  One of the most Capcom's most famous genre games got numerous gamers back into the Arcades.  They also had the incredibly praised game, Alien Vs. Predator: The Dungeons & Dragons brawler series as well as many others.

At the time when other companies like Konami "were most definitely not slouches," as they delivered classic titles like TMNT, X-Men and The Simpson's, games like Mortal Kombat came about as well.  (Together with different racing games & shorter titles.)

Video Games of Different Times

Here is a wonderful video that shows different games starting from such classic video arcade games as Space Invaders (1980) and Donkey Kong (1982), and ending with such famous games of our times as World of Warcraft (2005) and Final Fantasy XII (2006). The newest shown game is MotorStorm (2007), while the oldest one is Pong (1972).

First half of the video is especially nice. This is so nostalgically to see the favorite games from the childhood. Pac-Man (1981), Super Mario Bros. (1985), Tetris (1989) – these video games are true legends. A wish to play video arcade games of those times appears again and again. Even though more than 20 years have passed, these video arcade games are still popular.
