Arcade games have a long history that dates back roughly half a century. From Pong to Pac-Man, the '70s and '80s pioneered the games that would eventually become console classics. Games like Donkey Kong predated the successful juggernaut the series would become on Nintendo consoles only a decade later, and many genres can be traced back to these halls. More importantly, so many people were first exposed to games through arcades, introducing them to a whole new world of entertainment.

The Like a Dragon Series Could Be Sega’s Solution for Game Preservation

The Japanese publisher Sega has been around in the gaming industry longer than most of its competitors. The company was established in the 1960s and got its start making electro-mechanical arcade games for the American and Japanese markets. Since then, Sega has developed hundreds upon hundreds of video games throughout the ages, both for its consoles (during the 80s-90s) and other platforms.

Some of the titles that have been published by the company have been stuck on aging hardware, while others have been outright delisted from online storefronts.
