By the 90s, Arcade Cabinets were just glorified consoles. See Capcom CPS1 through 3 and SNK's NeoGeo cabinets for example.

@menherahair Ah, arcade machines. Those can be meaningful if they're building whole cockpit like Mechwarrior one, but for the most part they're all still just glorified pachinko machines by design, which requires them to be as aggressive to player (and his intermediate currency) as possible, while maintaining the immutable state. This can sometimes be seen as beneficial, but most of the time just causes the same blind repetition of historical workarounds to historical limitations in whole genres, with shared-screen fighting games being the chief example. While certainly requiring skill, reaction times and understanding of strategies available to individual characters, those remain limited by the perspective even when being designed with network multiplayer from ground-up. A fighting game has every opportunity to benefit from first-person viewport and limiting information available to only subjective from that perspective, as demonstrated by Mount & Blade (and to a degree - Mordhau and Chivalry, but those also suffer from many console-centric decisions).

@menherahair Not familiar with the term, unless you mean furniture, in which case proper table or shelf array would still probably be better.

@menherahair No console should've existed. Consequences of reductionist game-design targeting devices with limited input and storage capabilities are too dire and echo even where those are not even a factor.

@iamtakingiteasy @menherahair On the other hand you have the expansionist design that requires you to download 60 gigs of updates and offers you to flirt with hags who wear realistic wrinkles.
