The finale to the first generation of Armored Core, this is definitely one of those games for this stream series that I was looking forward to a lot. I often cite it as being top 5 for the series with very good reason. Master of Arena has a small but quality number of missions with an even bigger amount of arena opponents and extra options to make the game something that, back in 99 or 2000, would've kept someone busy for many years. The only regret despite all my prep was dying before the halfway point of the final mission, so I instead dug up a video from when I did a Let's Play of this game in 2015 just to give an idea of the terror that is Nine-Ball Seraph. It'll be a while before more Armored Core is shown (skipping 2 and AA), but this was a fun journey of introducing someone to where this series began and how it's best to appreciate them by their generation.

Next game: Omega Boost (Sony PlayStation, 1999)
