I have been teasing this series for a very long time...ever since I did the Sega Arcade Racing Retrospective last year...and that's because it took a VERY LONG TIME to make...a thirty episode retrospective on every Sega Model 1, Sega Model 2 and Sega Model 3 arcade game ever made that isnt a racing title! Because Sega is the undisputed (in my opinion) king of retro gaming in arcades whether it be 2D or 3D!

Just don't expect Daytona USA, Scud Race or Sega Rally...as that already happened back in 2023! Check the playlists!

But the Sega Model series of arcade boards are filled to the bring with some of the best Sega games of all time...as well as some Sega Hidden Gems!

Up next: Virtua Fighter 2! no I mean Fighting Vipers...which uses the same game engine as Virtua Fighter...but changes a ton up! Some fighters have weapons...and others dont? Honestly I have never been quite sure what to make of Fighting Vipers...it really feels half like Virtua Fighter and half like Last Bronx...almost like Sega was trying to take what made Virtua Fighter such a "best Sega game of all time" and pivot it to compete a bit closer with Tekken from Namco!

But it did get a sequel on the Dreamcast and the Sega Model 3 as well as a port on the Sega Saturn and modern ports on the PS3 and Xbox 360!

and the best part is you can use the "Model 2 Emulator" to play the arcade original if you don't have an original arcade PCB!
