Top 10 Highest-Grossing Arcade Games of All Time
We take a look at the arcade machines which have sold the most amount of arcades around the world from the past 30 years or so!

Whilst the below stats are the most accurate available, there are many other games our team loved playing in the 1980’s and 1990’s…
Euro football champ, Sunset riders, Operation wolf, Out run 2, After burner, Robocop, Track N Field, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The simpsons and many more; however these are sadly not on the below list!
With the likes of the X Box one and PS4 being in many homes now, visiting the arcade just isn’t the same as what it was 20 years ago as you can get just as good gaming experience at home!

8 – Mortal Kombat II
7 – Asteroids
6 – Defender
5 – NBA Jam
4 – Ms. Pac-Man
