I went to Sakura Con this year and they had a Quick & Crash arcade cabinet from 1999.

I don’t know if it’s the oldest game I’ve played this year, but it was definitely the most interesting!

Level 4 has a mug you shoot that appears to really explode

The effect is incredibly convincing!

Tap for spoiler

The secret is the real mug is pulled down very fast and real chunks of mug are shot up simultaneously
