Throughout the decades, there have been a handful of titles that have become synonymous with the idea of “arcade games.” Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Street Fighter 2, and the like. While Time Crisis didn’t create the light gun game, it did perfect it — and an entire generation of games simply wouldn’t exist without it. One of the most innovative arcade games ever made, 30 years later, Time Crisis feels, ironically, timeless. The pulpy story setup plays right into Time Crisis’ heavily cinematic feel, weaving high-quality cutscenes in between its light gun gameplay. Time Crisis is quite simply everything an arcade game should be: engrossing, riveting, and an absolute blast to play.
