killamch89 Posted Tuesday at 11:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:58 PM Which coin‑ops transcended their country of origin to become global phenomena? Did Space Invaders pioneer the shooter craze beyond Japan, or was Pac‑Man the true ambassador of arcade culture worldwide? How did Dance Dance Revolution bring Japanese rhythm gameplay to American malls? What role did localization play - game name changes, difficulty tweaks, or cabinet art redesigns? Are there underrated titles that found niche success abroad, like Bubble Bobble in Europe or Street Fighter II in South America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
