ARCADE GAME CHRONOLOGY
Part 2: 1991 - 1997

Here things start to get a weeny bit complicated as Capcom launch into Fighting Game overdrive and fighting sequel after sequel and remixes of Street Fighter 2 dominate this era. This was the period where Capcom's System 1 and System 2 arcade boards reigned supreme.. some of the fighting games were visually amazing for their time. In between the fighters though you will find a few other little gems..
