Virtual-On (1996)

Genres:Shooter, Fighting
Story:Get it on with Virtual On! The home port of Sega's arcade hit where you take control of gigantic, fully armored battle droids and duke it out against other droids in duel-like battles over a set of different arenas. The game boasts 8 fully polygonal droids, each with his own strengths and weapondry and 10 different arenas with their own layout and traps. Proceed through the entire campaign via subjecting yourself to "virtual training" and then facing off for the real thing against the other computer controlled droids, or go against a human opponent in multiplayer combat over Lan, modem, serial link or the same computer with split screen display.Show more

I'm sure I dropped hundreds of quarters into one of the coolest arcade games of the 90s. From the awesome music to the beautiful mecha designs to the wacky-but-eventually-intuitive control sticks to the amazing (for the time) 3D graphics I couldn't get enough of this one. I made sure to have consecutive birthdays in 1996 and 1997 at an arcade that had my favorite machine, and one year the operator even put it on freeplay for us. Would love for GOG to bring back the great PC port.
