  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Gameplay comes before story
  • Challenging difficulty

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.

Street Fighter

Challenging difficulty

Capcom's original Street Fighter laid the groundwork for the genre with one-on-one duels against opponents from around the world, attack buttons and early command-input special moves. It is clunky and punishing, but historically important.

International Karate +

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic karate fighting game by Archer Maclean in which three fighters battle at once on screen. New moves like the backflip, an animated background and Rob Hubbard's music make it stand out.

One Finger Death Punch

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A lightning-fast kung-fu brawler played with just two buttons: you click left or right to hit enemies at exactly the right moment. The result is fluid, movie-like fight choreography that feels like a rhythm and reflex test.

Fatal Fury

Linear, curated structure

A classic 1991 SNK fighting game following Terry Bogard's fight against crime lord Geese Howard. Its standout feature is the two-plane system that lets fighters shift between foreground and background lanes.

OlliOlli

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A precise, addictive pixel-art skateboarding arcade game where you chain tricks and grinds and must time every landing perfectly. Score chasing, daily challenges and leaderboards give it strong replay value.

Joust

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 1982 arcade classic where you flap your way around as a knight on a flying ostrich, knocking rival buzzard riders out of the sky by striking from above. Simple but tricky flight mechanics make it a tense score-chaser, solo or with a friend.

River Raid

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 1982 arcade shooter where you fly a jet up a river non-stop, blowing up bridges while managing fuel and dodging enemies. Simple premise with fast, reflex-driven play.

Little Fighter 2

Action-packed real-time combat

A free Hong Kong brawler mixing beat 'em up and versus fighting, letting up to four players share one PC to fight each other or team up against computer opponents. Its appeal is the varied roster and chaotic fun with friends.

1942

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic vertically scrolling Capcom arcade shooter where you fly a World War II fighter, blast waves of enemy planes, dodge bullets with loop-the-loops and grab power-ups. Short, reflex-driven, score-chasing runs with steep difficulty.
