Favourite Arcade Titles/Cabinets...

I'm going to make a big list.

- Out Run (Deluxe Cabinet) - This was a must back in the day and still is today (too bad i can't find an arcade with this anymore). I love this game since i played for the first time, almost 20 years ago! Out Run 2 is the same thing. A great game that always put a smile on my face!
- TMNT: The Arcade Game and Simpsons The Arcade Game - They still are the best games made based on those cartoon series.
- Rad Mobile
- Super Thunder Blade
- Virtua Racing
- Ridge Racer
- Starblade
- Final Lap (the whole series)
- Daytona USA - 8 Player cabinets with huge screens - This is what multiplayer fun is all about. I remember one time me and some friends spent a "considerable" ammount of money on it, while having some beers, before going to a nightclub!
- Sega Rally (1 and 2)
- Police 24/7 (a.k.a. Police 911)

- Ferrari 355 Challenge (1 and 2) - The most fantastic simulation, with 3 screens!
- Pole Position - First arcade game i played
- Mr. Driller
- Pinball games (any)

I probably forgot tons of games, but this is what came to my mind now. It's a shame arcades are getting scarce.

 

oo i forgot about the simpsons one.. same vein as the TMNT!

 

Oh yeah forgot

Fighting Vipers: The only fighting game I could kick butt and take names at in the arcades.

Yeah, my age isn't what it used to be :crying:

 

I forgot Gunblade NY. When that launched it was simply amazing in my eyes. Intense!

 

I remember playing it. The game was great, but the damn weapon recoil literally got me tired after 5 minutes.

 

Centipede rocks, so does Time Crisis and King of Fighters. Spawn was cool too. I remember Playdium in Vancouver, amazing place. Pity it left, now the only arcade round here's at the PNE, when you're not on the rides.

 

Mortal Kombat 1 & 2
Killer Instinct (1)
Samurai Shodown
Bust a Move
SSFIIT!
Marvel Super Heroes / Marvel vs *
AD&D
1st TMNT
X-men
Ms. Pacman
Gunblade / Time Crisis / Silent Scope games

 

1.Sunset riders
2.Puzzle bubble
3.Aero fighters
4.1942
5.Sega rally (the best arcade rally ever)
6.War gods

Those were beautiful times...until they banned them:-(
But now i plan to make my own place full of cabs just for meeeeeeee!!!:icon_bigg

 

In recent times there isn't much I can really think of. I do however, really really love playing the Arctic Thunder Cabinet. The vibrating seat and the entire set-up for me just make the game really really realistic.

that arcade is amazing. was there ever a sequel to that game?

 

I think there is..

On that note, i got my San Francisco Rush to Rock cabinet up and running this past weekend. Soo much fun Easily one of my favorite arcade games

 

Some day I'm going to have either TMNT, Simpsons and Battletoads cabinets in my house. Someday.

 

Yes, but it never showed up down here.

I have the PS2 port from the game (PAL release), but i don't have the camera or the gun (Guncon does not work). So, using one analogue for aiming and the other to dodge bullets isn't that much fun.
