Mostly between late 1983 during its North American Video Game Crash and 1985's North American NES debut, there were some arcade games that were innovative and some even popular in Japan and other regions. But at that time, American gamers badly lost interest in arcades and didn't even gain interest in even the most innovative games back then like Marble Madness, Kung-Fu Master, Punch-Out!!/Super Punch-Out!!, Karate Champ, Road Blaster, Thunder Storm, Hang-On, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, Tower of Druaga and some others.
During this era, what's your favorite arcade game or what arcade games are worth mentioning here?

Commando, Ghost N Goblins, and 1942 are a couple stand outs.

The Arcade Karate Champ is an all-time classic, especially the Player Vs. Player version.
It sucks the NES game is butchered beyond belief.
