This week on Shack's Arcade Corner we take a look back at Virtua Fighter, the classic arcade fighting game. This game is widely heralded as the first fighter to bring polygons to the arcade. The game also created 3D gameplay mechanics such as knocking your opponent off the level for the win. One interesting tidbit about the arcade cabinet is that it contained parts made by Lockheed Martin, the defense contractor. We definitely have fond memories of trying to be king of this arcade cabinet back in the day. Check out this video to find out more about the iconic arcade classic that is Virtua Fighter.
