HG101 Presents: Arcade Cult Classics
Ever play an arcade game from decades ago that you saw once and never saw again? Ever wondered about arcade games that were never released in your home land? This book digs into the depths of 1980s and 1990s arcade history, unearthing hidden gems from developers like Irem, ADK, Jaleco, NMK, Westone, UPL, Technos, Toaplan, Gaelco, and TAD. In addition to highlighting forgotten classics when digging through the MAME library, it also catalogues many undersung titles that can be found as part of retro re-releases, like on Hamster’s Arcade Archives series or on the Evercade console.

Based on whatsmyline-pb's post about lesser known writers, do you have a reclist for unsung hereoes, hidden gems, and/or one hit wonders?
Hello friend! No apologies needed, I’m so happy you enjoyed the rec lists - it’s always an honour to have them reblogged! As for your ask, back in 2022 I did a rec series called Hidden Gems specifically to highlight lesser known works. I’ve selected 5-10 fics from each author, including both Drarry and rare pairs. I hope you find it helpful! Happy readings 🙌
