Millipede

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 1982 arcade classic and the sequel to Centipede: using a trackball and a fire button, you blast a descending millipede and other bugs. It is all about high scores, reflexes and frantic, fast rounds.

Soldat

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Double Dragon

Challenging difficulty

The arcade classic that helped define the beat 'em up genre: punch, kick and grapple your way through waves of street gang thugs, ideally with a friend in co-op, to rescue a kidnapped girlfriend.
