The Top 25 Arcade Games of All Time

25. Time Crisis (Namco)

A lot of shoot-em-up games ruled the arcade back in the day, but Time Crisis stood out for one specific reason -- a well-implemented foot pedal. Using it to hide behind objects and reload your gun added some strategy to the usual run-and-gun play. Excellent boss fights (particularly your final face-off with the notorious Wild Dog) rule here, too. The game was later ported to the PlayStation and was followed by four sequels, including the more recent Time Crisis 4.
