Gauntlet IV for Mega Drive (by M2/Tengen/1993) has a dedicated "Arcade Mode" which is essentially an excellent port of the original 1985 arcade classic. Also it has great audio in general and supports 4-player co-op through the Sega Tap adapter. And finally, a massive Quest mode.

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.

Exactly 40 years ago today, on February 19, 1986, this classic arcade shooter was released: Ikari Warriors You could play it in single or two-player mode. Commandos Ralf and Clark (or Paul and Vince in the North American version) mow down enemy soldiers, tanks, and helicopters, and blast their way through jungles and rivers to rescue a captive officer. It featured rotary joysticks for 360-degree aiming, limited ammo, power-ups, and the super cool drivable tanks. I played it later on my C64, but the arcade version remains the benchmark. One of the best two-player co-op games of the 80s – always a blast with my brother. I don’t remember how many quarters it took, but maybe that’s for the best…

One of Sega’s greatest strengths in the 1990s was its ability to create arcade games using 3D hardware that completely outclassed the competition. Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter were developed on the Model 1 arcade system, which was based on advanced 3D technology originally developed for military applications. At the time, their performance was so impressive that other 3D games simply couldn’t compare. Because of that, it was extremely difficult to accurately reproduce these games on home consoles. In the early 1990s, the Model 1 arcade hardware cost close to $7,000, and even Sega’s own systems—the Mega Drive, 32X, and later the Sega Saturn—struggled to deliver arcade-perfect versions. Back then, I was disappointed by the gap in quality between the arcade and home versions. Looking back now, though, it’s amazing that Sega managed to port them as well as they did. It almost feels like a miracle. After eventually buying an arcade cabinet and a Model 1 board, I learned something I hadn’t realized before: Model 1 supported high-resolution monitors, unlike the standard displays used by most home systems. In those days, the average gamer didn’t even think about screen resolution, so seeing Virtua Fighter on a high-resolution arcade monitor created a fundamentally different experience from the home versions. When I first played Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn, I remember feeling that something was missing. At the time, I assumed it was simply the lower polygon count, but after seeing the original hardware in action, I realized that the difference in resolution also played a huge role. Sega’s arcade games—especially those built on the Model 1, Model 2, and Model 3 platforms—represent the peak of the company’s technological achievements. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy collecting them so much. Since home console conversions could never fully capture the original experience, the authentic arcade versions have a unique charm that’s hard to replicate. Even today, playing them on the original hardware is a great reminder of why Sega was considered the king of arcade gaming during the 1990s.

Exerion for arcade (by Jaleco/1983) is a shoot 'em up with early pseudo-3D background effects. Also the ship doesn't stop instantly, it has some inertia. Ported to MSX, SG-1000 and Famicom, and received 2 sequels (Exerion II: Zorni for MSX and Exerizer for arcade).

THE PUNISHER (Capcom, 1993). Arcade beat 'em up, another favorite in the company's 1993 line-up. Starring Lt. Frank Castle/The Punisher and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury, it follows the base Final Fight gameplay and is regarded as one of the best games based on comic books. A Genesis/Mega Drive port was release in 1995 to mixed reception, with censorship on the most violent scenes and other issues. A PlayStation port was reported to be on the works but was never completed.

Any fans of this masterpiece? One of the few games I managed to finish (in 2 player mode with my brother) without using unlimited lives: Silkworm It's a classic horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up developed and published by Tecmo for arcades in 1988. You control either a heli (player 1) or a jeep (player 2) as they blast through enemy territory. And "blast" in the very sense of the word - great sound effects, epic explosions, and non-stop action. The helicopter offers free movement in the air, while the jeep drives on the ground, can jump over obstacles like mines, and has a turret that rotates to shoot in a 180 degree angle. Originally an arcade game, it was later ported to home computers like the Amiga (as in the video) and consoles. To me still one of the best games ever for the Amiga, and still playing it these days when my brother comes for a visit.
