This game set a milestone for video games and hip-hop. No other game than Def Jam Fight for NY represents hip-hop better than this video game gem. It's the first in the series and one of my favorites because it's the ONLY one in the series that features the legendary DMX R.I.P. This masterpiece must be preserved. Otherwise we will lose one of the best fighting games of all time, including one of the best rapper.
one of the very few games that all of my brothers, cousins, friends and I would play and everyone had a great time. we still talk about the battles we had 20 years later. brining this game back would allow us to make new memories and rekindle old rivalries and allow our kids to experience one of the most unique fighting games for our generation. Also the music tracks were among the best for the time. And still hold up to this day.
Those games also need your vote!

The game drops players into heart-pumping, electrified racing action with 20 cars on a track all targeting the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint and collect intense power-ups, including the ability to blast other cars out of the way with huge bursts of energy, boost their speed, and more. While controlling photo-realistic cars, gamers can use offensive and defensive attacks as they battle for the lead and careen through real-world track locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney, UK and the treacherous roads of Barcelona, Spain.

Ehrgeiz
EhrgeizEhrgeiz is a 3D fighting game that features some characters from Final Fantasy VII. Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart are playable in the arcade and the PlayStation versions, and Sephiroth, Yuffie Kisaragi, Vincent Valentine and Zack Fair were added to the PlayStation version's roster. Ehrgeiz differs from most 3D fighting games by drawing heavily from the concepts of wrestling games and Dream Factory's own Tobal series, which allow for full 360-degree movement and do not require fighters to be facing each other at all times.

Primal Rage II
Primal Rage IIPrimal Rage II is the cancelled sequel to Primal Rage. It started development in 1996 and was set to be released in 1997, but the game was cancelled due to the shrinking popularity of arcades. The game would feature avatars of the gods as playable characters. Necrosan trapped the gods so they couldn't fight him, so the avatars had to save the gods by fighting each other to reach Necrosan. If the player were to beat Necrosan then they would get an ending. Only one cabinet of the game is known to exist, and it can be found at the Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, Illinois. As of 02/11/2017, the emulation of the game is fully functional, thanks to YouTube user GruntZilla94.
