5 Best Arcade Rhythm Games of the 1990s, Ranked

Released in Japan for the PlayStation in 1999, Vin-Ribbon remained largely unknown in North America until its re-release in 2014. Surprisingly, the game began as a Mercedes-Benz advertisement, but when that plan fell through, development continued as a full video game. What made Vin-Ribbon truly special was its ability to create custom levels based on music CDs players inserted into the system. Players controlled Vibri, a rabbit, along a track, dodging obstacles in sync with the beat of the music. This innovative approach made Vin-Ribbon a uniquely fun and replayable experience – every CD offered a brand new challenge.
