Red Elf needs food badly!

Y’all ever played this old ass dinosaur racing game called Dino Dash at like Chuck E. Cheese? That was it for me idk why

There was an isometric-ish sword-and-sorcery hack and slash using 3D models (or digitized models) that I've had stuck in my head for the longest time and I can't identify it. I mainly remember getting stuck fighting, like, a dragon boss that sat at the top of the screen and made you take cover from its breath behind tombstones like it was Dark Souls.

I also really love the Die Hard arcade game.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Deep cut:

Space Lords by Atari. Watching two people who were proficient in this game go at it was like some James Bond level shit. Not before nor since have I seen an arcade game with the level of strategic depth this game had.

Also, looked pretty cool for it's time.

The 194X series that also came in the same cabinet as Metal Slug. That shit rocked

Ms. Pacman. I didn't have a console of my own for a chunk of my childhood, so all my gaming was done in arcades. It's also a game my dad and I bonded over after church. I hated church, but playing pacman in the grocery was a nice followup.

Wangan midnight maximum tune

Trog's credit sound scared the crap out of me when I was a child! Don't unfortunately remember much about playing it, but later emulating showed that it is pretty interesting Pac-Man on steroids, at least with four players.

Dark Escape 4d...

As a horror shooter, it has this feature where your points are reduced, depending on how scared or more accurately, how rapidly beating your heart is...

Besides that:

Let's go Jungle

It's a decent FPS arcade game
