Arcade Favorites

stormshadow · Jun 21st, 2003, 04:00 PM

I was just remembering how cool it was to have an arcade in my home town. There were so many good games there I would spend all my extra cash there just playing games with friends and taking challanges on the Mortal Kombat 2 machine. That game was a good one but the machine that I always had to spend at least half of my ho slaping stack on was Smash TV. That game was the best at least in my mind. The way it was set up with the double joystick control was perfect for that game. If I ever found that machine for sale I would sacrafice thirteen virgins just to have it. What arcade hits can't you pass up everytime you see it? What is the most money you have ever spent in an arcade or just on one game? Or if you have an interesting story about an arcade you have visited this is the thread for you. "I'd buy that for a dollar!"

Street fighter super heroes vs. Xmen was it? when that game hit the local pizza store (dont laugh) everytime i went there i just HAD to play that game.

Now, who can forget BUST-A-MOVE!? i loved that game.
Area 51 was another must play.

I'd have to say my top fav acarde games were the simpsons and Aliens Vs Predators. But I think the most money I have ever spent on an acrade machine was whatever the gun game that featured Steven tyler. Me, my bro, and my cousin pumped quarters into that untill we beat it............ good times were had by all. But as my fellow ninja

stated above Smash tv was a great game as well. That last boss was just too classy for me

Wrestlefest is the game I have spent the most money. It's still fun today.

Simpsons, X-Men, Bust-A-Move, and Revolution X are all games I have blown money in the past.

For me it was most definitely Street Fighter 2, I used to be the king with that game. On vacation they had this big screen version where you sit in the bench of the machine. And a lot of people can watch, it's very cool to kick people's asses then. And further back the double dragon machine, man I wish they made another DD sequel....

I would say im a daytona freak, I used to work in a mall and every lunch break I was down at time out booting the little kids of my machine and ripping it up instantly feeling better about being me. It was pretty sweet.

Mortal Kombat II was always my favorite, and Time Crisis, and Teenage Munate Ninja Turtles the arcade game.

Yeah man! Definately Daytona USA. I was the master of the 2nd course! My brother and I used to unlad many a quarter and tokens into that thing and we'd always be the top 2 in any race. THat was the ultimate sibling rivalry. When Daytona first came out...I remember the day I saw it...there was one huge screen and I'd never seen anything like it before in my life graphics-wise.

Before all that fancy stuff came along, though, I remember playing Rampage, The Simpsons, Turtles in Time, Mortal Kombat, etc... Turtles in Time was a personal fave
