Malenko:
For 1943, they weren't terrible :)

When you start talking about the ports its fine to mention stuff like characters on screen and missing levels, just like you mentioned a missing character and missing two player mode.

As for CPS1, while it might not matter that Final Fight ran on the 10HMz board I think its relevant to say that Capcom did port the game to the CPS Changer system (one of only 11 games) , which was the home console version of the CPS arcade hardware.

I like your videos. But I dont know a lot about the history of the arcade games, I still find your videos enjoyable.
Just for grins and giggles:
I grew up in the 60's and my very first time at playing a "real" arcade machine was in a convenient store in a city 30 miles form my home town.
Year was 1976 or 1977 (maybe 78). I had some friends that after HS graduation attended a college (WKU), and one weekend they were home and we all got together and drove to the big city to check out the night life.
We stopped at the convenience store got gas and some cold drinks.
They had a brightly lit Galaga cabinet and it caught my eye. I must have put 4 or 5 quarters in it until my friends threatened to leave me if I didnt come on.
So the very first "real" arcade experience for this old man was Galaga.
A few years earlier I had a ping pong/ hockey game that plugged into the TV. It had dials for paddle controls.
It was a huge panel and the graphics were very basic. The ball was actually square and the sounds it made were atrocious, but we loved it, and it didnt take long for my siblings and I to wear it out.
(I dissected it then and found there wasnt much to it in the way of parts.)

So from that ancient ping pong game to the Galaga was a big step for me. But it was like black and white TV compared to color. (Most of you guys probably dont remember having only a black and white TV).
Anyway, thats it for my useless dabble.
BTW, still waiting for history of Donkey Kong. (Galaga would be nice too).
Anyone else remember their very first "real" arcade game?

Are you sure it wasn't Galaxian?

Mine was Pong in 1977 in Shakeys Pizza.
