arcade games

This tag is wider than the arcade shelf. It picks up anything scored on a single run, wherever else the game happens to be filed, which is why bubble shooters, a ball bouncer and a rolling reflex test turn up alongside the runners.

Shotting Balls is the closest thing here to a fairground cabinet, a bounce-and-aim scoreboard chase where greed is the real difficulty. Jump Dash strips the idea to one input and a memorised route. Going Balls 3D is the exception that rewards slowing down.

Browse this tag when you want a personal best rather than a level select.
