Introduced in the mid-20th century, arcade games evolved from early coin-operated machines to include shooter and simulator games. Popular arcade franchises in the 1970s-80s included Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Donkey Kong. Today, the most successful arcade games include StarHorse3, Sega Network Mahjong, and Sengoku Taisen. These modern games offer multiplayer experiences with large LCD displays and integration of real-world racing results.
