Now, why is it super unlikely that you’ve played this game? Because it was only ever released in arcades. And it wasn’t exactly a huge runaway success. But in terms of actual gameplay mechanics, this game had some monumental firsts.

    I did jump through the hoops necessary play this, years ago, although I can’t remember why. It was probably due to reading an article much like this one.

    Honestly, while I think it’s important to make a note that this game existed, I also think some people overreach a bit on just how influential it was. I wouldn’t say that anyone needs to play it these days unless they really want to. Just look up a few screenshots; it plays almost exactly how it looks like it plays.
