Smash TV
Year Of Release: 1990Genre: Action
A top down action shooter that barely squeaked into the 90s. The graphics screamed mid-80s, Motley Crue tour bus, but that didn't make the game any less fun.
AREA 51
Year Of Release: 1995Genre: Shooting
Yes, it was silly and ridiculous (we're pretty sure high explosives wouldn't just be sitting around a base to be shot at), but blasting aliens to hell with a light gun is a cornerstone of the gaming industry
The graphics certainly don't hold up to modern standards, but if we ever see one of these sad machines lonely occupying the corner of a dive bar, we can't help but get down with a little Kron Hunter
Lethal Enforces
Year Of Release: 1992Genre: Shooting
Well, if you didn't want to get shot, then you shouldn't have stood up then, huh? Aside from looking the rejected one sheet from a Cinemax after dark film, the game wasn't that much fun.
This light gun beauty put you in the hands of two officers of the law trying to stop crime on the mean streets. Dibs on the blue gun.
GUNBLADE NY
Year Of Release: 1996Genre: Shooting
Sure, it was a rail shooter, but there was a sense of kinetic frenzy that almost made you forget about it. This massive Sega cabinet had you as a gunner in a helicopter as you traversed a future city gunning down cybernetic terrorists. Our arms are still shaking from this one.
PRIMAL RAGE
Year Of Release: 1994Genre: Fighting
The controls sucked ass (who the hell holds buttons and wiggles the joystick around to pull combos), but there was no louder fighting game in the arcade. The roars were thunderous and the hits were brutal
