Favorite Arcade Game?

[Atlasraven]

Star Wars Trilogy arcade game is my favorite. The lightsaber battle with Vader is what made it really cool.

Radiant Silvergun is probably tops for me. I doubt anyone here has played it though, since it was only in Japanese arcades and the only way to play it in America is by importing the Saturn port. Definitely the best vertical shooter ever released.

If I must pick something American, then I'd probably choose Ms. Pac-Man. I have fond memories of playing that through my childhood.

Who says we all live in America and can't play in Japanese game centres??? Radiant Silvergun, Tekken, Virtua Figher and a ton of music games on one floor, and pachinko on the other three floor!!! Yatta!

I like the drum beat games, whatever the heck they're called. Both Konomi and Namco have cool ones. You can drum along with game soundtracks from things like Super Mario Bros., Life Force/Salamander, and the Dragon Ball cartoon! I sometimes go to one of the game centres in Ikebukuro, because there's a good giant takoyaki(octopus dumplings) shop there where I can get kimchi takoyaki. It's so bad. Kind of like the power glove, but more badder.

Breetai, I'm sure you make fan boys everywhere extremely jealous.

My favorite arcade game was Asteroids.

Did they come from Saturn or Uranus?

 

[Atlasraven]

Definitely came on a brown asteroid from Uranus

In Japan, they'd probably charge you 150 yen to buy it out of a vending machine.

I play through that game everytime I'm at the arcade. Love it.

Hard to decide, though. Most of my favs were always the classic button mashing side scrollers. The old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, the Simpsons game, and later on the huge six-player Marvel game were my favorites.

Then Street Fighter II came along...
And Mortal Kombat II...
And Killer Instinct...

Yeah, I can't decide.

This car stunt game. Me and my friends would see who could die the most spectacuarlly.

Xmen was an awesome game. No lack of potential players and nothing more fun then hitting an enemy while he was down until he died.

My fav was that Xmen game. You know which one I am talking about. I was always Nightcrawler because his special power was the best, cleared the screen of baddies.

 

[The-Doctor]

Hmm tricky

Its a toss between Smash TV (lots of bullets!)
Starwars (the one where you flew the X wing)
Gauntlet.(strange voice telling you "Red warrior is about to die!" and "Eat food to gain health")
and the classic Tetris!

I was a nut for "Time Crisis 2" untill they jacked the price from two quarters to three.

Now I'm a DDR nut!

Time Crisis 2 was one of my favorites. I'd coop with my bro and if a baddie had me pinned down, my bro could shoot him in the back.
