F Zero GX (copied some but never surpassed)

Joust

Centipede

Arkanoid

Marble Madness (unreal that no one even tried to do this genre again)

Did Brood War do anything that SCII didn’t do better? Also, arcade mode (desert strike, tower defense) on SCII is legendary.

In that game it's a game of labyrinth where the player controls the floor angle not the character directly. iIrC monkey ball was like this too.

Marble madness had you actually control the marble itself
