{{Real world}} :''You may be looking for [[Arcade Collection]].'' [[File:Arcade System Example.png|thumb|right|150px|''Blast City'', a prime example of a video game arcade cabinet]] A '''video game arcade system''' or simply just '''arcade system''' is a coin-operated gaming machine typically installed in public business such as restaurants, bars, and amusement arcades. While the exact dates are debated, the golden age of arcade video games is usually defined as a period beginning sometime in the late 1970s and ending sometime in the mid-1980s. Excluding several resurgences attempts in the early 1990s, the arcade industry subsequently declined in the Western hemisphere as competing video game consoles such as the [[Sega Dreamcast]] and [[PlayStation 2]] increased in their graphics and gameplay capability over arcade cabinets and decreased in cost generally. ==Sega arcade system== An '''arcade system board''' is a dedicated computer system created on purpose of running video arcade games. Arcade system boards typically consist of a main system board with any number of supporting boards. Sega is currently the company with the most arcade system boards to this day, with the latest being the Sega Nu 2. The following is a list of arcade system boards released by [[Sega]]: *Sega VIC Dual {{C|1977}} *Sega Z80 {{C|1980}} *Sega G80 {{C|1981}} *VCO Object {{C|1981}} *Sega Zaxxon {{C|1982}} *Sega Laserdisc {{C|1983}} ====Sega System series==== *Sega System 1 {{C|1983}} *Sega System 2 {{C|1985}} *Sega System 16 {{C|1985, further consolized as [[Sega Mega Drive|Mega Drive]] in 1988}} *Sega System 16B {{C|1986}} *Sega System 24 {{C|1988}} *Sega System 18 {{C|1989}} *Sega System 14/C/C-2 {{C|1989}} *Sega System 32 {{C|1990}} *Sega System Multi 32 {{C|1992}} ====Kyugo==== Kyugo is an arcade system board released in 1984, co-developed with Japanese company Kyugo. ====Super Scaler series==== *Sega Space Harrier {{C|1985}} *Sega OutRun {{C|1986}} *Sega X Board {{C|1987}} *Sega Y Board {{C|1988}} ====Sega Mega series==== *Sega Mega Tech {{C|1988}} *Sega Mega-Play {{C|1989}} ====Sega Model series==== *Sega Model 1 {{C|1992}} *Sega Model 2 {{C|1993}} *Sega Model 3 {{C|1996}}<ref>{{Cite journal|last=|first= |title=Model 3: Sega Affirms Arcade Supremacy |magazine=|Next Generation|issue=17|publisher=Imagine Media|date=May 1996|pages=12β18}}</ref> ====Sega ST-V==== ST-V (Sega Titan Video game system) is an arcade system board released by Sega in 1994. Departing from their usual process of building custom arcade hardware, Sega's ST-V is essentially identical to the Sega Saturn home console system. The only difference is the media: ST-V used ROM cartridges instead of CD-ROMs to store games.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=711&page=3 |title=Sega STV (ST-V) Hardware (Sega) |publisher=System 16 |date=2016-03-31 |accessdate=2016-08-08}}</ref> ====Sega NAOMI series==== The NAOMI (New Arcade Operation Machine Idea) is the successor to the Sega Model 3. Sega first demonstrated NAOMI publicly at the 1998 Amusement Machine Show (an annual trade show hosted in Tokyo by the Japan Amusement Machinery Manufacturers Association). *NAOMI {{C|1998}} *NAOMI Multiboard {{C|1999}} *Sega Hikaru {{C|1999}} *NAOMI 2 {{C|2000}} ====Triforce==== The Triforce is an arcade system board developed jointly by Namco, Sega, and [[Nintendo]], with the first games appearing in 2002. The name "Triforce" is a reference to Nintendo's ''The Legend of Zelda'' series of games and symbolized the three companies' involvement in the project. ====Sega Chihiro==== The Sega Chihiro system is a Sega arcade system board based on the architecture of the Xbox. The 733 MHz Intel Pentium III CPU and the Nvidia XChip graphics processor are common to both, but the Chihiro has a different MCPX chip with unique bootloader keys. ====Sega Lindbergh==== The Sega Lindbergh arcade system board is an embedded PC running MontaVista Linux (The Lindbergh Blue system used Windows Embedded instead). Sega had initially planned to use [[Microsoft]]'s [[Xbox 360]] as the basis for the arcade board, but instead opted for an architecture based on standard PC hardware. ====Sega Europa-R==== The Sega Europa-R is an arcade system board developed by Sega Amusements Europe. Sega chose a PC-based design for this arcade board. This arcade board currently only runs two games, ''Sega Rally 3'' and ''Race Driver: GRID'' (Stylized as simply ''GRID''). ====Sega Ring series==== *RingEdge {{C|2009}} *RingWide {{C|2009}} *RingEdge 2 {{C|2010}} ====Sega Nu==== Released in November 2013, Nu is based on a mid-range PC running Windows Embedded 8. ==List of ''Sonic'' arcade games== *''[[Flicky (game)|Flicky]]'' *''[[Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car]]'' *''[[UFO SegaSonic]]'' *''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' *[[SegaSonic the Hedgehog (brand)#Games|Untitled ''SegaSonic the Hedgehog'' game]] *''[[SegaSonic the Hedgehog]]'' *''[[SegaSonic Popcorn Shop]]'' *''[[SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter]]'' *''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' *''[[Sonic's Space Tours]]'' *''[[Sonic the Fighters]]'' *[[Sonic the Hedgehog (AWP game)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (AWP)]] *''[[Sonic & Tails Spinner]]'' *''[[CR Sonic]]'' *''[[Sonic Spinner]]'' *''[[Sonic Live!]]'' *''[[Sonic Sports Basketball]]'' *''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing|Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Arcade]]'' *''[[Sega Amusements#Sonic Kiddie Ride|Sonic Kiddie Ride]]'' *''[[Sonic Sports Air Hockey]]'' *''[[Sonic Sports Air Hockey 2P]]'' *''[[Sonic Sports Baby Air Hockey]]'' *''[[Sega Amusements#Sonic Sports Quad Air|Sonic Sports Quad Air]]'' *''[[Sonic Sports Kids Basketball]]'' *''[[UFO Catcher Sonic Branded]]'' *''[[Sonic Series (arcade game)|Sonic Series]]'' *''[[Sega Sonic Racing Twin]]''<ref>https://www.segaarcade.com/games/sega-sonic-racing-twin.html</ref> *''[[Sonic Ticket Winner]]''<ref>https://www.segaarcade.com/games/sonic-ticket-winner.html</ref> *''[[Sonic Blast Ball]]'' *''[[Sonic Athletics]]'' *''[[Sonic Ghost Shooting]]'' *''[[Sonic Brain Ranking]]'' *''[[Sonic Dash Extreme]]'' *''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Arcade Edition]]'' *''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Arcade Edition]]'' ===Cancelled games=== *''[[SegaSonic Bros.]]'' *''[[SegaSonic Cotton Candy Scramble]]'' *''[[Sonic Ride]]'' ==Gallery== {{Gallery start}} <gallery widths="200"> Flicky.png|''[[Flicky (game)|Flicky]]'' Waku_Waku_Sonic.png|''[[Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car]]'' UFOSegaSonic cabinet.png|''[[UFO SegaSonic]]'' MegaPlay_ArcadeCabinet_Sonic1.png|''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' Sonic2 arcade screen.png|[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]] title screen SegaSonic arcade machine.jpg|''[[SegaSonic the Hedgehog]]'' on ''Sega New Astro City'' SegaSonic-Popcorn-Shop-Cabinet.png|''[[SegaSonic Popcorn Shop]]'' Full spaceship.png|''[[SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter]]'' SonicSpaceTours1994.png|''[[Sonic's Space Tours]]'' Sonic the Fighters Arcade.jpg|''[[Sonic the Fighters]]'' SonicAWPCloseUp.jpeg|[[Sonic the Hedgehog (AWP game)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (AWP)]] Sonic&TailsSpinnerCloseUp.jpeg|''[[Sonic & Tails Spinner]]'' CRSonic far.jpg|''[[CR Sonic]]'' Sonic spinner.jpg|''[[Sonic Spinner]]'' Sonic Live machine.png|''[[Sonic Live|Sonic Live!]]'' SonicSportsBasketball Cabinet.png|''[[Sonic Sports Basketball]]'' SSR STD Cabinet.png|''[[Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing]]'' Sonic kiddie ride.jpg|''[[Sega Amusements#Sonic Kiddie Ride|Sonic Kiddie Ride]]'' SonicSportsAirHockey cab.jpg|''[[Sonic Sports Air Hockey]]'' Sonic sports quad air cabinet 0.jpg|''[[Sega Amusements#Sonic Sports Quad Air|Sonic Sports Quad Air]]'' Sonic Athletics Treadmills.png|''[[Sonic Athletics]]'' SonicGhostShooting.jpg|''[[Sonic Ghost Shooting]]'' SonicBrainRanking.jpg|''[[Sonic Brain Ranking]]'' Sonic-Dash-Extreme-Cabinet.png|''[[Sonic Dash Extreme]]'' Mario&Sonic2020Arcade_JP_Cabinet.png|''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Arcade Edition]]'' </gallery> {{Gallery end}} ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Video game platforms}} [[Category:Platforms]]
