100 Awesome Video Games Released Before 2000

#90  Devastators

No one I know nowadays seems to remember this game.
Several years ago (around '95 or '96), the local Tilt arcade was selling some of their older arcade machines.
They had Devastators for $100 so I bought it.
Ended up owning it for close to 4-5 years before selling it to an acquaintance for $50.
By that time, the screen needed to be replaced and I didn't want to bother with it.  It would've cost more to replace the screen than what I paid for the entire cabinet.

This game was actually pretty cool!  
You ran up the screen shooting enemy soldiers, throwing grenades and using rockets to shoot down planes and tanks, etc...
Two people could play it at the same time and it was fun to have a friend standing next to you pounding away on the Fire button, trying to kill everything onscreen.
My friends would always laugh because at the time I was living in a small apartment and they'd come in and see this huge arcade machine against the wall in my living room.

98. WWF In Your House

Wow.  Can't believe someone mentioned that gem.  I have it.  Shame it only had ten wrestlers in it.

My friends hated it.  They're like, "It's Mortal Kombat, but with wrestlers.  This sucks."
