Although I'm a huge fan of the series, I'd never played the original Virtua Fighter arcade cabinet until recently at @NFSAonline's Game Masters Exhibit!
Amazing game that still looks and plays great to this day.

@goldfoyle6@GamesOf1998 It depends, arcade has better graphics and performance, Dreamcast has more content.
There's also a Windows version but I'm not as familiar.
@Shidosha Even though it's a decline from last year, in 2019 I had to run it as a DIY and it only had 32 players! Glad to see the American VF community continue to support the game, I was shocked at the big turnouts for CB this year too.
Sega Rally 2 (1998) - Arcade
After getting in some more practice, I finally got the Riviera stage with the Stratos!
SR2 arcade strikes a perfect balance between difficulty and fun for me, each time I fail I think "I can do it with ONE MORE TRY". The graphics and music help too!
Modern racing simulators are great, but sometimes you just miss the raw adrenaline of trying to beat a 60-second countdown timer while sliding through mud and snow. We hear you.
The legendary arcade masters are back. Gaelco Sports Collection is officially coming to modern platforms, featuring the iconic isometric speedway twins: World Rally 1 & World Rally 2!
No modern filler. Just pure, high-octane 90s reflex testing.

The good ol' days of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown casuals in NYC. This was the debut of "Jacko Damage". (Beware of Volume LOL).
To think this was 13 years ago...

International Superstar Soccer Pro ‘98 (1998) - PlayStation
Mexico vs South Africa! ISS Pro '98 provided some great graphics, smooth controls, a wealth of gameplay options and even TV style commentary.
One of many football games released in '98 to coincide with the World Cup!
@myretrolifeshow I think this definitely feels different, but don't think it looks bad
I don't mind them doing something different because we've got REVO on modern platforms with rollback if I want 'legacy' VF.
I'd love to see the other VF games get released with rollback too for the same reason.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
Ocarina of Time gets a perfect 5 star review in CVG #206 (Jan 1999).
One of the most beloved games of the era, this game combined innovative gameplay, gorgeous aesthetics and a real sense of adventure.
When I first came up with the concept for this game, I had the chance to present it to Yu Suzuki.
I was honestly so nervous — he was already a legend when I joined the company.
When he praised the concept, I was truly happy. For a moment, I felt like I was that rookie from 20+ years ago again.

Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge (1998) - Arcade
Spotted this classic Model 3 Sega Racing cabinet in the wild!
The sequel to the hugely successful Daytona USA, Daytona USA 2 continued the legacy of red-hot racing action and amazing graphics and music.
