Even more important in my opinion : no Outrun. Many glaring omissions actually, while some obscure games like Dynamite Duke are included. Also, weird choices like having both Mortal Kombat and MK 2 in the list, while no entries from other (and better) popular fighting games (Tekken, Neo Geo KoF, Samurai Shodown) are present. Very poor selection of Sega games also. Virtua Fighter 2 should be there instead of the first one. No Space Harrier, Hang On, Wonder Boy, Monster Land, Shinobi, Virtua Cop, After Burner II. All of those games were more historically important/succesful/better than some on this list. No offense, but this list needs to be reworked.

Men you guys are being sloppy,a lot of the footage has been taking from the console versions and I’m not talking about the new modern switch arcade perfect ports, no. Taken from like the graphically inferior original consoles releases, like contra, the contra arcade has better colors, bigger sprites and a different resolution ratio. Sega rally is also the inferior (but still beloved) Saturn version in an emulator,I can tell cause of the net effect where transparencies are suppose to be but the drawing distance is too far off… so emulator. And that’s only two examples, there’s at least 4 that I know for sure the footage is not the arcade version

8:40 re. The Simpsons Arcade. "The popularity of the game lead to several sequels and other ports." So here, it's shown that this script has been auto generated. So desperate to have words to say, the software has made a safe guess that sequels and ports followed when there were no sequels and it was only ported to MS-DOS and the C64. Which is fairly well known to even the most amateur retro game nerd. The delivery of this simulated person is so dull and dense it almost becomes confusing to pay attention as a barrage of dull dry information is listed off by a robot from a script which was written by a robot. I honestly think media like this cancels out a video made by a human being in the overall cumulative effect of media being published.
