The era of '''pre-System 1 arcade systems''', lasting from 1973 to 1984, was one of the most diverse in Sega's history. The use of several different architectures contributed to a wide array of games, from vector-based titles like ''[[Eliminator]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' to VIC Dual games such as ''[[Deep Scan]]'' and ''[[Head On]]'' and laserdisc titles like ''[[World GP]]'' and ''[[Astron Belt]]''. Key to Sega's success in North America at this time was their relation with [[Gremlin Industries]]; many of Sega's titles from 1977 to 1981 were either published by, or co-produced with, the coin-op start-up. Additionally, Sega collaborated with industry powerhouses like [[Bally Midway]]  and [[VIC Tokai]] to establish their security in North America during the video game crash of 1983. With most of the games produced during this time falling under the "Golden Age of Arcade Games," several titles from Sega, such as ''[[Zaxxon]]'', ''[[Turbo]]'', and ''[[Pengo]]'', are considered arcade classics to this day.
