Which arcade game do you think had the best continue screen?
After getting the original arcade Ninja Gaiden on my Switch, I was treated to that infamous continue screen again. It made me look up other continue screens that really attempt to motivate you to try again, like Street Fighter II, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, The Punisher, Mortal Kombat 4, Final Fight series, etc.
Which do you think had the best continue screen? For me, I definitely think Ninja Gaiden's is the best at motivating you to fish out a few more quarters and save your ninja from a rather gruesome fate. Hell, I remember the first time I saw that, I was about nine years old, and even though you didn't actually see the final result, you saw the screen go red and the implication was there. It really left a mark on me. Later when I told my dad about it, he said, "You could've continued."
What about you? Let me hear your opinions!
