The biggest take away that you can probably get from Spike Out is that it feels like Proto-Yakuza combat, and probably helped shape Yakuza / Like A Dragon series combat system. Aside from that though? You're really not going to get much out of this 3D arcade brawler aside from some wonky polygons, a bunch of munched quarters, and a mildly too long arcade run.

If you're a fan of beat'em ups, I think you will have a good time with Spike Out as it is an absolute delight to see in Infinite Wealth, but paying money for the actual game nowadays would probably be more painful both due to how it looks and how unfair it can be. Good for a run, but really not much more than that.
