If you could own just one arcade cabinet
 

Saw this on another board and I thought it made for a cool thread.

For me it would be this 4 player Return of the Black Adder machine:

I spent many quarters and hours playing this. The levels were varied, and the art and sound were always cool.

Suggested my HR manager to add one (either SF2 or KoF2), we are waiting it to be delivered.

Street Fighter 2

My brother and I had a paper route, and we'd wake up extra early, at like 3am to go get the papers that were always delivered to the 7-11 close to our place, we'd go and play SF2 for a good hour everyday.

:nicethread:
are we talking about normal arcade cabinet? if so, SF2 and MvC1 are nice, but for me it would be this

probably spent like $100 playing this and $20 finishing it in 1 shot in college. it's fun with multiplayer. i'd play with these D&D nerds i don't talk to but in game we play like a team :lol

if we're talking custom machines then it's 1 of these 2:


if there was one of those machines cheap i'd throw one in the garage but i think they cost an arm and a leg.

Of the two I'd probably take turtles

Probably some auto racing game like Out Run, Sega Rally or D1GP

Oh man http://www.thenerdcavepodcast.com/up...12840_orig.jpg this would be right up top but SFII or Golden Axe would be a hard decision..

Berz out.

Pinball machine please!!!


Or this MS PAC MAN COCKTAIL ARCADE GAME

Probably Maximum Tune 2. Too much fun playing that game at rush while smoking butts since the supervisors didnt give a shit. 2 is way better than 3 or 3dx+

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doooooo DAYTONAAAAAA

Golden Axe!

Double Dragon!

Those baddies with the machine guns always meted out a lot of punishment, until... I do a circular route towards them, got into touching distance, and BAM, body slam (almost like the above depicted picture...).

oh we talking racing games? gotta be one of the first ones out there with a clutch


ninja turtles and simpons...way back to elementary school days :lol
was so proud finishing them with less than $2 each back then. final fight was another good one.

the audio of golden axe was pretty awesome back then. the evil laughs, the guys screaming "OH GOD!" when they died...

starting to feel like a nostalgic arcade game thread...good old days when it cost 25cents for a game and i can last 30-60min not a loonie or toonie for a few minutes :heckno:

Daytona... the first game I drifted in..... in a fucking Nascar of all things haha

Berz out.

i had friends playing that game where they didn't touch the brake pedal at all, all they did was turn in to a drift and shift down and them back up :lol

you guys remember super monaco stand up racer? that steering wheel had paddle shifters back then :ahwow:


as a kid that opening scene of double dragon when the girl got punched and screams in pain i was like woah! wtf he hit a girl!!! :lol

Many quarters were invested in the game.

mine would be War Final Assault and Sega Rally Championship

so proud when i was able to beat the first metal slug on 1 quarter. i studied my friend intently for hours to figure out how he did it :lol

Daytona USA for sure.

My boss has a Galaga/Ms PacMan cocktail table, that game is a hell of a lot of fun.

waiting for some lb to post up MT.

When i was younger i loved wrestling and would always play this, would be nice to own.

awesome game. LoD were so OP. only way I could finish the game was basically throw people out of the ring and throw the metal steps on them until they're weak to get a ring out or easy pin :lol
