Anti-gravity ships to a Chemical Brothers soundtrack; the PlayStation as a club.

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

A pedal to duck behind cover and a light gun; the arcade shooter with a foot pedal.

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