Let's Playu Samurai Nihon-ichi by Taito!

The great 1985 arcade classic, Samurai Nihon-ichi by Taito... Did you ever dream to live the noble, but dangerous life of a Samurai? Well, here's your virtual chance of NOT doing that!

Here's some more info from arcade-museum.com:

Guide a Samurai through waves of on-coming enemies. Use your Samurai blade to eliminate your foes. Push up to jump, down to crouch and left or right to move. Press the overhand button to swing your sword downwards or press underhand to slash upwards. Depending upon the enemy that attacks, different swords motions work better.

Let's Play B.Rap Boys! (Why!?)

Simplistic, repetitious, grating madness! I will not admit to playing the 1992 arcade game B. Rap Boys. It is that bad, and not in a good way. If you want to see the horrid game play video before I delete it from the internets forever, go for it.. Don't say I didn't warn you!

This horrid game was the sequel to DJ Boy. Some more info from Wikipedia:

DJ Boy (DJボーイ) is a 1989 beat 'em up arcade game developed by Kaneko. It was published in Japan by Kaneko and in North America by Sammy.

DJ Boy, also known as DJ Kid, was designed as a standard side-scrolling beat'em up game partially based on the hip-hop culture of the U.S. cities. What made the game unique at the time was the fact that many of the characters rode around on roller skates rather than walking or running. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Boy#B.Rap_Boys

Let's Play Metamorphic Force!

Minotaur, Werewolf, Panther, and Bear action! It could only mean one thing: Metamorphic Force, possibly the greatest arcade video game ever devised by actual human minds! Join us for a complete walk through, long-play, or what-have-you of this righteous 1993 arcade classic.

From Wikipedia:

Metamorphic Force (メタモルフィックフォース?) is an arcade game released by Konami in August 1993.[1] It is one of Konami's last side-scrolling Beat 'em up games to appear in the arcades along Violent Storm.

The game mechanics are similar to those of Konami's earlier arcade hit, X-Men, and runs on the same hardware as their ninja-themed game, Mystic Warriors.

Plot: The Evil One has risen from the dead to rule the world once more. The Greek goddess Athena has summoned the souls of four ancient guardians and bestowed their power upon four heroes to stop the evil once again.[2] These guardians wield the ability to shift into anthropomorphic beasts to fight their enemies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphic_Force
