This will actually be a last of the arcade game lists. After 1995, most arcade games got pretty solid home console ports and outside of some light gun games or maybe a few driving games, there just wasn't anything entirely unique to the arcades anymore (RIP wonderful smokey drug dealing arcades).

10. WWF Wrestlefest

WWF Superstars was the first WWF wrestling game, but its' sequel Wrestlefest upped the ante and gave wrestling fans more of everything they wanted. More wrestlers, more moves, and more modes of play. Excellent simple gameplay, and was exactly what any wrestling fan wanted.

9. Cadash

Cadash was a platformer/RPG. You chose one of four characters, fought, leveled up, got new equipment.... very unarcade-like which I assume is why no one really knows about it. Console ports came out for it, but they never hit the mark. The arcade version was the way it was meant to be played.

8. Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder

One of the world's great crimes is that even to this day, a home console version of the true Golden Axe sequel has never been made. Forget that piece of crap Golden Axe II for the Genesis, Death Adder's Revenge was one of the greatest side scrolling brawlers ever made.

7. Shinobi

The game that ushered in the West's fascination with ninjas! It's a damn near perfect arcade platformer too. Tons of action, and you have to constantly know where you are jumping because odds are an enemy is right where you want to be.

6. Rampage

Mindless violence at its very best. What do you do? You break buildings. If you want to be an ass, maybe you beat up your partner too. And then maybe you eat him/her. This game appeals to everyone's base instincts, and it did a marvelous job at it.
