About Zerst
There's approximately 4,500 retro arcade games in existence, a majority of which have been generally forgotten to time.
Though you can find anything on Youtube, looking for a skilled demonstration of lesser-known games can be a challenge.
For many niche games, the top results use savestates or invincibility cheats. While this does technically show what the games look like, I feel like it doesn't demonstrate what it's like to actually play them.
The gameplay in my channel is all my own, from my history of participating in the arcade high score scene. I enjoy the hobby as a jack-of-all-trades, so I don't aim for WR-level scores, but I am decent enough to play most of these very difficult games competently. No savestates or cheats are used. To reduce the risk of RSI, the high score community agreed to allow autofire for games where excessive mashing is required but not the primary measure of skill.
