Well here's a thing. Proving that arcade games are very much alive and well in the 21st Century, this final title in the 10 biggest selling games of all time is one which, I suspect, most of you are unaware of - unless you happen to be in Japan.Starhorse is a Sega horse racing arcade game which allows players to gamble for tokens. The first in the Starhorse series appeared in 2000 and was followed by many annual updated versions, eventually adding the ability to simulate actual Japan Racing Association events.The biggest individual selling machine in the franchise to date has been 2005s Starhorse2, which by the time of its hardware's fifth and final expansion in 2009 had sold 38,614 units. A staggering number considering its, albeit huge, but limited local market. With a reported ¥4.8 billion from machine sales by 2011 (equivalent to nearly $60 million), Starhorse2 was superseded by, unsurprisingly, StarHorse3, which within its first year on the market grossed ¥3.3 billion from arcade machine sales (equivalent to more than $40 million).
