This week marks the 100th unique game we've played on WALL-O-VISION, our custom projected arcade system. We've played a ton of classics and a nice collection of obscure curiosities, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

To mark the occasion, we're now playing a tragically unheralded gem. Sega's 1998 title Spikeout: Digital Battle Online is a 3D beat-'em-up game. Deceptively deep fighting mechanics allow players to use button combinations and charges to perform a wide variety of attacks, each with specific crowd-control applications.

This one holds a special place in our hearts, and this just might be the only place in the tri-state area you can play it right now.

DoDonPachi

Cave's 1997 title DoDonPachi is a vertically-scrolling bullet hell shoot 'em up game. Players can pick from three different ships which can either rapid-fire by pressing the attack button repeatedly or fire a massive column of laser by holding it down continuously. It's one of the genre's best loved titles due to its frantic gameplay, sharp design, and rocking soundtrack.
