>Around 94/95 you started to see more polygon games. And big sit down cab games. And big screen shooting games. This was around when ticket games started to creep in too. This is probably also when arcades really started to die out.
How to tell if you're in an arcade that's been around since the 90s and can't afford to throw out their old machines:
>mid-90s fighting games, including at least one version of Tekken or Mortal Kombat
>a Neo-geo machine that barely works
>Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Star Trek Voyager, or House of the Dead 2 sit-down machines
>showcase cabs (pic related), usually running fighting games but sometimes running shooting games, beat-em-ups, or Gauntlet Legends
>some simulation game like Top Skater, Prop Cycle, Rapid River, or Wave Runner
>at least one version of House of the Dead, usually several if it's a bigger arcade
>those machines where you electrocute yourself
>either Cruis'n, SanFransisco Rush, or Sega Super GT (also Daytona USA, but even newer arcades have that)
>some non-DDR rhythm game they got to cash in on the late 90s/early 00s rhythm game craze, usually Drum Mania
It's always fun to find an arcade like that. You'd be surprised how many are still around.
