re: Gaming genre fads

Maybe gun games and driving games at the arcades up until the early 90s. By driving games I mean games where you sit down like Pole Position or Ridge Racer. There were spin offs like that helicopter game and that motorcycle game. I can never remember what those were called.

Gun games made it consoles but kind of died off after the SNES/Genesis generation. You still have places like Dave and Buster's keeping driving and gun games alive now.
