  1. T2 was only really missing a stage for the Galleria Mall Hallway and the chase through the Angeles River areas and then it would be totally representing the movie.

  2. Dragons lair aka that game in the arcade no one played and everyone hated.

    What version of Star Wars is that? I might have missed something but isn’t that the wrong version then what you’re talking about?

    Virtual fighter that game that sat empty while mortal kombat, street fighter and killer instinct or primal rage got the quarters.

    It might have been advanced then but I’ve never seen that football cabinet anywhere.

    Never understood the dance games. Not worth my time.

    I’m probably forgetting something but terminator was the best all around arcade shooter I could name off of the top of my head.

  3. So many Sega…… Kinda sad to know how they where the guys to break boundaries from Arcade to consoles back in the day, to a company that became a small spot in the gaming industry.

  4. Uggh…that is the wrong footage for the Star Wars game. The description was talking about Atari's vector graphics Star Wars, not the later one. This is why there is no description of hoth or speederbikes.

  5. 3:16 – You might have done a wrong cut in the audio there (the end of your Star Wars commentary is about The House of the Dead 🙂 Which means you might have a part II coming up, since The House of the Dead isn't in this video 🙂
    But great video, loved every bit of it!

  6. I think a nod to Atari’s OG trilogy of on-rail raster graphics games—one each for the Star Wars (before ”A New Hope” was a thing), Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi films—on which Sega’s Star Wars Trilogy obviously drew SO MUCH influence, including shooting the tops off towers mechanic. Trilogy looked awesome, but for their times, the Atari trilogy played and looked better, to take nothing from Sega’s awesome “love letter.” (God, I hate that term… )
