System16 Online Arcade Museum Expands

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the System16 arcade game info site, which has "...added a Capcom section by popular request", showcasing some of that company's classic arcade boards such as CPS1 hardware (as used for Street Fighter II), and the seminal CPS2 hardware used in so many of Capcom's '90s arcade titles. The site takes a different approach from the excellent VAPS arcade site, in concentrating on games by hardware type, and featuring famous arcade software/hardware manufacturers such as Sega, Atari, Konami, Midway, Namco, and Taito.

You're just skewed.

"I can't imagine in fifteen years still obsessing over what the game companies are coming out with now."

That's because games like Madden 2004 don't really offer anything worth obsessing over. All the games you do remember fondly and still enjoy are games you will remember because they are so good. Do you remember Fester's Quest? The original Robocop game? GI Joe the video game? Zillion, the mega cartridge?

No. If you'd been the way you are now, about 18 years ago, you'd have said "I can't imagine in fifteen years still obsessing over what the game companies are coming out with now." because games that are worth obsessing over don't come out that often. It's easy to look back on a library of 40 or 50 older games that rock and ignore the 400 or 500 shitty games that came out at the same time.
