Finish Time Crisis

Four ghosts, a maze and 256 levels before the kill screen; the 1980 arcade icon.

Dual fighters and the captured ship; the shoot-em-up perfected.

Faster mazes and moving fruit; the fan hack that became the better game.

Eddy Gordo, Jin Kazama and the arcade fighter of the PlayStation era.

Qualify for a grid slot, then race the clock at Fuji; the 1982 cabinet that put the road behind the car.

One track learned by heart and a drift held on the brake; the PlayStation launch game that loaded into RAM.

One button per limb, eight fighters and eight sub-bosses; Namco answer Virtua Fighter in 1994.

Heihachi comes back and drops Kazuya into a volcano; the first Tekken people kept playing at home.
