Galaxy Force II for arcade (Sega/1988). Another AM2 technical marvel in its original arcade form, with smooth sprite-scaling and dynamic music. Basically After Burner in space, with different planets and sci-fi tropes. None of the home ports back then were able to hold a candle, and the arcade also... show more

After Burner II by Sega pushed arcade tech with its Super Scaler hardware, delivering fast sprite scaling that made dogfights feel intense and cinematic. The moving deluxe cabinet added to the immersion, making it a full sensory arcade experience.

Did you know that arcade cabinets with CRT monitors actually had three different resolutions? Most classic 2D arcade games used a 15kHz (320×240) resolution. This was the same resolution commonly used by CRT TVs and many 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit home consoles. Then Sega introduced higher-resolution arcade games with Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing, which used 24kHz (496×384). Sega Model 1, 2, and 3 arcade boards are famous for using this resolution. One of the reasons the Sega Saturn versions of Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA looked so different from the arcade versions was because of this resolution gap. Later 3D arcade games moved to 31kHz (640×480) resolution. Sega NAOMI games are one of the best-known examples. That’s why you need to be careful when buying an arcade cabinet. Early cabinets only supported 15kHz, while the commonly seen Astro City supported both 15kHz and 24kHz. Later cabinets like Blast City, Net City, and New Net City were known as “3-mode” cabinets because they supported all three resolutions. The tricky part is that both the game board and the arcade cabinet itself can have resolution settings. If the settings are wrong, you can end up running a high-resolution game in low resolution. So if you’re buying an arcade cabinet, make sure you carefully check which resolutions it supports.

Atomic Runner for the the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis (Data East/1992). Highly challenging action-platformer ported from Data East's 1988 arcade game, Chelnov. Considered superior to the original and a cult classic, standing out for its unique forced-scrolling gameplay, upgraded pixel art and memorable music. Also released on the X68000 and Wii Virtual Console (Japan).

Out Run (1986) by Sega wasn’t built as a traditional racing game, but as a “driving experience” by Yu Suzuki. Instead of laps or opponents, the focus was on freedom, letting players choose branching routes across multiple stages, each with different scenery, traffic patterns, and difficulty, leading to several possible endings. Technically, it was powered by Sega’s Super Scaler hardware, allowing smooth sprite scaling that created a real sense of speed, something few games at the time could match. The deluxe cabinet took it even further, physically tilting and moving with the road, turning it into a full-on arcade attraction. Its soundtrack by Hiroshi Kawaguchi was just as groundbreaking, giving players a choice of radio stations like “Magical Sound Shower,” helping define the game’s laid-back, road trip vibe. That mix of tech, music, and design is why Out Run is still seen as one of the most influential arcade racers ever made.

Using a $5 Paw Patrol toy I found at an op-shop/thrift store to play the arcade classic Super Hang-On. It uses a Raspberry Pi-Zero and you easily revert it back to the original toy (with an additional hole where the USB cable went).😁 #arcade #retrogaming #SEGA #gaming

Power Drift (1988) by Sega took the Super Scaler formula of Out Run and cranked it to eleven, throwing players onto rollercoaster-like tracks filled with massive jumps, steep drops, and impossible banking turns. Designed by Yu Suzuki and running on Sega's powerful Y-Board hardware, it remains one of the most visually impressive sprite-scaling racers of the arcade era.

Maybe inspired by the synergy between the PlayStation and Namco’s arcade-compatible hardware, Sega also developed the Dreamcast and NAOMI together to make arcade-to-console ports much easier for their own games. Because of that, it wasn’t the massive leap that Model 3 had been, but it still ended up getting a huge variety of games from not only Sega, but many other companies as well. Popular titles like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Capcom vs. SNK 2 were also NAOMI-based games. What was disappointing, though, was the irony that Virtua Fighter 4 never came to the Dreamcast and was instead released on the PlayStation 2.
