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:

http://i.imgur.com/yvqw8Zg.jpg

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

[asian_XL]

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

[punkwax]

Street Fighter 2

[ScizzMoney]

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.

[GLOW]

:nicethread:
are we talking about normal arcade cabinet? if so, SF2 and MvC1 are nice, but for me it would be this
http://www.dragonslairfans.com/gauntlet/gauntlet_onlocation_front.jpg

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:

http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/timecrisispedia/images/f/fa/Time_Crisis_Arcade_Flyer_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140201070712http://www.retronick.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/IMG_2656-e1363892231723.jpg

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/uploads/3/5/6/8/3568707/4812840_orig.jpg this would be right up top but SFII or Golden Axe would be a hard decision..

Pinball machine please!!!


Or this MS PAC MAN COCKTAIL ARCADE GAME (http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/vgm/5107503712.html)

[Happy]

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+

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...).

[GLOW]

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

RIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

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:

[Berzerker]

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

Berz out.

[GLOW]

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:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3049/3011698454_ed48521bb3.jpg

Many quarters were invested in the game.

[Alby]

mine would be War Final Assault and Sega Rally Championship

[GLOW]

The metal slug series!!!

Many quarters were invested in the game.

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

[Manic!]

Daytona USA for sure.

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

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

[Iceman_2K]

Xmen for sure.

[GLOW]

Xmen for sure.

you talking about this one with multiple screens b/c the action cannot be contained on just 1 screen?

umm this one is a tough one

KOF 98 for fighting games

inital D 3 (cant believe now one has mention this one yet) or mt2 for racing

drummania for music games

i think thats it for me

but if can i have 2 cabs then it would be strike out for fighting games

[Gumby]

The metal slug series!!!

Many quarters were invested in the game.

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
I spent a lot of time on that game too! I ended up memorizing where every enemy came from. In the end, I could get to the final stage on 1 quarter, but it was so crazy I never mastered the final stage to finish it without spending $$$.

[GLOW]

ya the end got pretty crazy and you pretty much need to have the right weapon for certain bosses (included last sequence) or else you'll just die horribly. if you're left with just the pee shooter you pretty much just wipe and start a new game.

i remembered a lot of sequences to where i fired a bullet and then a guy comes out and runs in to it :lol. first stage i'd try to go as far as i could with just using a knife

[Inaii]

Oh man http://www.thenerdcavepodcast.com/uploads/3/5/6/8/3568707/4812840_orig.jpg this would be right up top but SFII or Golden Axe would be a hard decision..

"That man is playing Galaga. Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did."

Pac Man for me :) Love that game!

[Hondaracer]

Xmen was good as well

I have a spot for those 4 player on the same screen side scrollers like that, was so fun playing with a bunch of friends and seeing everyone on one screen like that

[Xu.Vi]

KOF for sure!

So instead of working as a paper boy you were playing an arcade game about being a paper boy?

i remember spring of '96, a 711 in richmond had one of this and always attracted a crowd.. made alot of friends from the random kids that hang out there

storm's super air combo in the corner was badass. when i had it done to me once and lost like 70-80% of my life i was like :eek2:

had to learn how to use her and her timing & hyper jump was different than all the other characters

Time Crisis
House of the Dead

I suck at arcades and they were expensive back then. Only place I would play them was at Playdium when it was still around.

i always wanted to get back to DDR-ing but im horrible at it

my arcade in china use to have sega tetris (2 years ago) & was that game great, im horrible at the game as i normally died on level 6 or 7 if its a good run (my highest level would be 10)

love it back then & still love it now

[Hondaracer]

lethal enforcers was pretty bad ass early on

http://www.audiovisualizers.com/arcade/pix/le_2.jpg

me and my dad played it so much we bought the SNES version, the pink and blue guns were actually excellent quality for the time, let alone an SNES peripheral

[Mr.Money]

^^^...forgot about that game....amazing skill level when you reach higher levels,didn't know they released it SNES

my favorite was shooting a number target 1 to 50 in order as fast as possible

[GLOW]

speaking of old school shooting games, i forgot about point blank. carnival style arcade game with the gun that cocks back ala time crisis. it's actually pretty fun playing with a friend.
