Old Arcade games lacking [modern] home ports

[Musashi]

I recently discovered some episodes of StarCade, which I surprisingly missed back when it aired in 1985. Watching them, I learned of many arcade games I never saw back when they were new. As it is, there are several that have yet to appear on any compilations for home platforms.

Some I can think of include: Eyes, Nibbler, Lady Bug, Junior Pac Man, Krull, Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom, Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator, Munch Mobile, and Reactor

I gather some of them are stuck in legal webs, but still.

Outfoxies is my Arcade game that really should have gotten a home release. More modern than the ones you list (1994) but I was shocked it didn't get a release a few years ago when a lot of arcade games were getting Switch/Steam/etc releases. Elevator Action 2 is on Steam! Windjammers! But no Outfoxies. It's wholly owned (developed and distributed) by Namco so they could.

If you like arcade games, you can't miss out on classics like Street Fighter II, Pac-Man or Galaga. They're always fun and bring back tons of nostalgia. I'm DiceGirl Egle, a slots streaming expert, and I'm passionate about slot games. Aarupolis and Lucky Scarab by Tom Horn Gaming are some of my favorites and I highly recommend them. See you on Twitch!

I'm glad that old arcade games like Nibbler or Lady Bug still evoke nostalgia. They lacked modern ports, but this retro charm has an attractive property. I recently came across a gambling platform review site that made me feel nostalgic, and it's great. To get back to the classics, visit https://casinosfest.com/online-casino/nostalgia-casino/, which has a wealth of useful and up-to-date casino information. Here you will find gambling games for every taste and can immerse yourself in the atmosphere. This is a great chance to experience the joy that classic arcades have always brought.

Junior Pac-Man on account of the pinball parts apparently.
Saying that there's no reason why it couldn't be done when you consider the rather good Pinball games from the likes of Zen that have been available on consoles for the past few years.

I've been watching Starcade for a little while now, it's easier now they're on YouTube instead of only on their own website, but I wish they'd do playlists with the episodes in order.

Came across a video about Smash TV over the weekend, would be nice to get a current gen port of Smash TV + Total Carnage.

I think the only official versions available right now are in Midway Arcade Origins for Xbox (and maybe PS3 but I can't check via a web browser).

I used to play this a heck of a lot on the Amiga back in the day. I still have the poster for it, that came with the game, up above my Amiga in my attic room.
Haven't actually played it in years, will have to give it a whizz through after seeing that video.
