Data East is such an odd company; they made a metric crap ton of arcade games and a large amount of them were legit amazing...and they've almost all been forgotten about and relegated to that dusty box filled with games nobody seems to have heard of. Stuff like Dragon Gun, The Cliffhanger Edward Randy...legit AMAZING games that never show up in any lists of "best X genre games of all time".
Which sucks honestly because so many people probably miss these games for one reason or another...and if they just played them they would probably find a new game to add to their favorites list
Like Dragon Gun; a legit awesome 2D light gun arcade game that is, typical for Data East, over the top and packed with intense action from start to finish. It's as good as anything Sega ever did as far as 2D light gun games are concerned...and maybe slightly BETTER in spots...but good luck casually stumbling across a mention of it anywhere as a game you should play.
Which got me thinking...GAF...what other legit amazing games do you recommend that for some reason or another have just been glossed over and forgotten about? because you always have great recs here
