Friends who experienced the arcade era when they were young all know that some popular games can be found in almost every arcade, such as Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Three Kingdoms, Knights of the Round Table, Famous Generals, etc.; but there are also some games , occasionally seen in an arcade. They are not the ones that no one cares about, but there are a group of friends playing around. We can call them second-tier games for the time being. The main reason for this may be that the games were released too early. , or the substrate penetration rate is not as high as those of the first-tier companies, and some are more or less different from the first-tier companies in terms of quality.

Wolf Fist 1/2

is a side-scrolling game produced by a Korean manufacturer. The character image is very good, with rich micro-expressions. You can eat props to transform into waves, and four people can play together. The fatal flaw of this game is that it is stiff, and the rhythm of the game is not very well controlled. Like the masterpieces of Famous Generals, although the game does not change much from the beginning to the end, the rhythm control is excellent, so that it will not be boring after playing for a long time. . This is not the case, it will be boring after playing for a long time.

Superman Academy Steel Emperor

A fighting game based on NEOGEO. There are many highlights of this game, the first of which is the character modeling - two of the female characters can make many children unable to bear to look at them. The second is that the game allows you to learn one of your opponent's moves after defeating him. In fact, the popularity of this game is still acceptable, but its tactics and strategic applications are far less in-depth than Street Fighter 2. This is the most important factor that prevents it from reaching the top of fighting games. In addition, the overall feeling is not so smooth, and you can input moves in advance. It seems not, I haven't tested this aspect carefully. Overall, it's a good fighting game.

Silent Dragon

A side-scrolling game with some quirks. The characters and enemy movements look very funny, especially the avatar expressions when being beaten... There are four characters for players to choose from. This game is not very difficult. The biggest difficulty in using jump attacks flexibly is the lack of time in the last level. When fighting a specific BOSS, such as the ninja in the third level, the fire dragon or bat in the fourth level, don't be stingy with insurance, just release it, and prepare for the next round of attacks when it falls to the ground. Insurance may also cause combos. In fact, its popularity rate is pretty good, but it just can’t keep up with Capcom’s models.

Violent Storm

is also a very unique side-scrolling game. The whole game looks like a garbage dump. Players can choose three characters, among which the philosopher's throwing skills damage very high. There are some unreasonable settings in this game, such as the Philosopher's Plum Blossom Sitting. When used on the BOSS, the damage is not as good as ordinary throwing skills. The attack frequency of the BOSS and the grab judgment of the protagonists are also very weird. This game is not difficult, as long as you are familiar with its mechanics, you can basically crush it.

Animals are also crazy

This is a side-scrolling shooting game that becomes more lively the more people there are, with vegetables and seafood flying all over the screen. The protagonist's insurance policy is to become bigger and invincible. Is this the animal version of Fa Tian Xiang Di? When playing this game, especially when there are many people, you don’t hesitate to put in coins. The game is still very difficult, the enemies have fast bullets and full health, so the back version is a bit unrealistic.

Alien Gladiator

is a fighting game produced in 1991. Players can challenge the CPU alone or in teams, or against each other. The system was also advanced at the time. The character basically uses professional wrestling moves, and can also use the terrain to cause damage to enemies and themselves. Most of the enemies are mythical creatures. This game was a little popular at the beginning, and the enjoyment was much worse than that of Street Fighter and King of Fighters series. One of the biggest highlights in the game is the howling of ghosts and wolves when being beaten...

There are many excellent second-tier games. In fact, there are many games that are as strong as Capcom, but their popularity is very low because the substrate is too expensive. So how many of these so-called second-tier games have you played?
