Your Personal Dream Arcade?

Been busy working on the recent mini Flash games and Abobo's Big Adventure lately, but I've been thinking about classic arcade games a lot too (probably because of SC3), so I figured now's a good a time as any to have a little discussion about 'em. I've always thought of opening an arcade of my own one day, or at the very least, having a personal arcade to enjoy with friends. So that got me to thinking... if money was no object, what ten games would I buy for starters?

1) Discs of Tron (environmental cabinet)
2) Quantum
3) Warlords (4-player cocktail)
4) X-Men (6-player mega-cabinet)
5) Ms. Pac-Man (with speedhack)
6) Asteroids (original vector arcade cabinet)
7) Sinistar (cockpit cabinet)
8) Ghouls 'n Ghosts
9) The Simpsons (4-player cabinet)
10) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (4-player cabinet)

So those are the ones that would definitely be on my list right off the bat. How about you? If you could have your own personal arcade and were limited to selecting ten games, which ones would you choose? No MAME cabinets... just original arcade cabinets.

5) Street Fighter II

7) Operation Wolf
8) Star Wars

I have to VERY agree on Simpsons, Turtles, and X-men.. and I would add
Primal Rage
Turtles in Time
ultimate MK3
Children of the Atom
One of the Samurai Spirits games
S.T.U.N. Runner
and I guess Marvel Superheroes ...

unfortunately these are like, the only games I can even remember playing in arcades. I realize some of them are actually kind of crap, but.. NOSTALGIA.

Wow! List time!!!

1. Spy Hunter (cockpit cabinet) still kick-ass today

3. Dragon's Lair
4. Pigskin 621 A.D.

7. Contra
8. Silent Hill - The Arcade (awesome cabinet)
9. Carnevil
10. Crime Fighters (guys getting punched in the face - good stuff)

Damn! Only 10 choices?



User avatar

HowardC on 03/23/2011 2:56 am

In no particular order:

Galaxian Theater (Largest arcade game ever!) With Both Games

Sega R360 with all the games (Best flight sim!)

Star Wars Cockpit

Daytona USA or some similar racing sim.

MK1 - MK4 (Best Artwork!)

TMNT 2

Xmen 6p

In terms of classics, I already have what I want.. Gorf and a Multi-Pac.

Why no mame cabs? Quite honestly, unless it has special controls or really nice artwork MAME just makes more sense than collecting classics. Take it from someone who has a few. If you are going to get a dedicated cabinet you better LOVE the game in it... you better have dreams about it at night, you better never get tired of it either. Otherwise you wake up one day and realize you have a 500lb fridge-sized paperweight taking up half of a room.

On a unrealted note, no mention of The Pee-Wee Herman Show premiring on HBO last weekend? (The new, broadway version)

For shame ROG.... for Shame!

I like beat-'em-ups, and you already covered my three faves, RoG. At best, I suppose from there I'd round it our with Marvel Vs. Capcom and a decent light gun game. Preferably something licensed or involving ninjas.

"This would def be in my top ten:
http://www.konami.jp/am/punch/image/hk_kyou.gif"

@ Mr. Hades - Thanks for mentioning this! I forgot about this game, but played it many years ago at Virginia Beach's finest arcade - Flipper McCoy's. The regional American version is called "Fighting Mania - Fist of the North Star". This game is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!



User avatar

-RoG- on 03/23/2011 12:37 pm

ColdFusion - S.T.U.N. Runner blew me away when it came out. I loved the graphics and it was the only reason I went to the local Chuck E. Cheese on a regular basis... they were the only ones in town who had it.

DaTr0LL - NARC is an excellent choice. Definitely one of the best arcade shoot-em-ups. I like Robotron too, but I'd still pick Smash TV over it. I'd also pick an original Computer Space as an eleventh choice just because the cabinet looks so amazing and was the first arcade game ever made.

Poop On A Stick - Wow, I've never seen the Silent Hill arcade cabinet. Shame it never made it out of Japan as I'd be interested in trying it out. Sure, that series doesn't seem meant to be a rail-shooter, but the cabinet looks great and I'm sure it'd be fun gunning down a huge Pyramid Head.

HowardC - I've nothing against MAME cabinets at all, I just wanted people to pick individual games for the sake of this "money is no object" dream list of games you never get tired of. I'm sure I'd have a MAME cabinet in the mix too, and even more importantly, I'd have a Neo Geo cabinet to play all my MVS carts on. As for The Pee-wee Herman Show, I already attended that live show and reviewed it in the blog earlier last year, so no need to promote it on here as this isn't an entertainment news PR site. It's already had tons of publicity as it is and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out on DVD so people who don't get HBO can watch it too.

Mr. Hades - Hah, I've never played that one before. Kind of reminds me of the Sonic Blast Man arcade game - another really fun one if you can track it down.

Homegrown - Ah Gauntlet, another fine 4-player choice... good call.

k0k0 (Guest) on 03/23/2011 2:31 pm

I do have a mame cabinet that I built myself, so I have every game up until 95. I do only have it made for 2 players and a track ball, so if I could change that I'd get a 4 player setup. Plus a couple light guns and maybe a steering wheel. As for arcade games, if I had to choose 10 that I'd want for my super arcade.

1. Carnevil
2. Samurai Showdown 3
3. Narc
4. Nba Maximum Hangtime
5. Simpson's Arcade game
6. Tmnt: Turtles in Time
7. Golden Axe 2
8. Rival Schools
9. Mappy (my roommate and I have competitions on mappy)
10. Golden Tee (another that my roommate and I play against eachother a lot)



Guest

Matija (Guest) on 03/23/2011 3:29 pm

I would be happy if I could only get one arcade cabinet, but here are the ten that I would kill for (or not). In no particular order:

1. SpinMaster (I've never heard anyone mentioning this game in blogs or forums, so go play it now if you haven't)
2. Metal Slug (the first one, the one that you can actually beat without losing a life)
3. Marvel vs. Capcom (never played the second one so I go with the first one)
4. Ms. Pacman (because playing as a girl makes difference.....or not)
5. Arm Champs (to impress girls or show how weak you are)
6. Smash TV (to smash your TV)
7. Bishi Bashi (probably the best multiplayer game)
8. Pong (when in Rome...)
9. Street Fighter II (when I get enough of Marvel vs. Capcom)
10. Abobo's Big Adventure (nuff said)

Jonny#5 on 03/23/2011 3:37 pm

This is not a complaint, but just something you guys might not ralize.

Any capcom game created after around 1992 does NOT have a dedicated cabinet. Most have litte more than a marquee, cpo and postage-sized sticker for the side. So listing those is kind of like listing a mame cab. ;)

Also listing any neo-geo game is equally odd as all 200+ neo-geo games ran in the same, generic, orange cab. Just list MVS 6-Slot and then you get 6 games for the space of one. ;)

Right i'm not necessarily going for the best arcade games, but more the ones that I enjoyed playing growing up, also they are in no particular order.

1. The Simpsons 4 player cabinet with the sit down seats and the monitor in the style of The Simpsons tv set. One of the greatest days of my life was going through this game with 3 other strangers from start to finish.

Do Neo-Geo MVS cabinets count (well, even though they usually came with one or more games)...

Here's what I'd stick in my own arcade.

1. Any King of Fighters game... or maybe just either `98 or `02.
2. Shinobi
3. Power Instinct Matrimelee
4. Strider 2
5. Osman
6. Samurai Shodown 2
7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time
8. Waku Waku 7

I forgot to add that any restored arcade I came up with would have to have at least 3 or 4 good vintage pinball machines, too.



Guest

zerothree (Guest) on 03/25/2011 12:50 am

1) House of the Dead 2
2) Neo Geo 4-slotter (Metal Slug X and 3, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and Blazing Star)
3) Hydro Thunder
4) Virtual On: Cyber Troopers
5) Strider
6) Virtua Fighter 4
7) Planet Harriers
8) Arm Wrestling
9) Outrun 2
10) X-Men (6-player)

This list took way longer to make that I thought it would have.

-RoG- on 03/25/2011 12:50 am

Glad to see a lot of love on here for Golden Axe. Definitely one of my favorite games (not to mention the second one I ever bought for the Sega Genesis).

Danny 4 Eyes - Agreed. Beating the Simpsons arcade game with three other players from start to finish is easily one of the best times that can be had in an arcade.

Lingading - Oh absolutely... gotta have some pinball machines in the mix, but that's for a totally separate list. First one on my list would be The Addams Family followed by A Nightmare on Elm Street and Elvira. Speaking of pinball, I'm not sure if you have a PS3, but there's an amazing Williams "Pinball Hall of Fame" collection game for it that recreates some of their best machines so close to perfect it's scary. I stayed up 'til 7am one night with some friends unlocking all of the pinball machines in it.

zerothree - Yeah, it sounds easy, but it's really hard narrowing down to just a list of ten games heheh. Nice to see a fan of Blazing Star here too btw.

Trey - Excellent call on Mario Kart Arcade GP. I only played it once, but it was a blast and I loved how they put your face on the actual karts. I even took a few pictures of it when they still had it at the Santa Monica Pier arcade:

Rog, concerning the Silent Hill - Arcade cabinet. Saw this one at the Metropolis at Metrotown on a trip to Vancouver, BC almost three years ago. I believe the name was CHQ arcade. The game appeared to be all in English. Looked like it would take two forklifts to put it in They had machines I've never seen before ANYWHERE. Very few old machines... mostly new quarter-gobbler types.

Not in any order - I've noticed most have been covered already.

List has to be ten so I skipped Strider and Dig Dug by a wisker...

Gyruss
Crossbow
Star Wars (the green lines one)
Heavy Barrel
Dragons Lair
Golden Axe
Rolling Thunder
Crime Fighters
Shinobi
Gauntlet

Loved Rolling Thunder and Shinobi but Heavy Barrel requires the arcade model as the joystick was a knob that let you face one of eight directions while moving in any of the others...

I once had the opportunity to buy a X-Men 6 player cabinet for cheap (had a few easily repairable, broken parts), but I couldn't find any place to put it. I'd have had to rent a storage unit to keep it and that was beyond my means at the time.

That Other Guy on 03/27/2011 4:33 pm

Six-player X-men! I remember that cabinet. Two TV screens awkwardly stitched together... six joy sticks and only enough room for four people to play without fusing shoulder blades with the person next to you. (And that's for twelve-year-olds; for adults, a little over three people could fit.)
I also remember a four-player Hook cabinet (different game from the Genesis/SNES version) being near it on the arcade floor. Go Pockets!

-World Heroes (A Street Fighter knock-off made by SNK that I used to play at a local bowling alley. The only arcade fighting game I was ever good at.)
-Guitar Hero Arcade
-Revolution X (Basically exactly like Terminator 2 but replace The Terminator with Aerosmith)
-Galaga
-Out Run (It'd have to the be the cockpit sized cabinet that shucks and jives with each turn you make.)
-Hard Drivin' (The only racing game in history where you could hit a cow and burst into flames.)

Long time I-mockery reader and Doc Mock watcher posting a comment for the first time, though you might recognize the name from the Doc Mock chat. But enough of that, these are my choices, and they are heavily influenced by what me and my dad would play in the local arcade when I was young. Also, I think I'm younger than a lot of you so these games tend to be newer than the others in the previous lists.
1.Lucky & Wild
2.Tekken
3.Jurassic Park (The old shooter based on the first movie.
4.Die Hard Arcade
5. Donkey Kong (for my dad)
6. Ms. Pac-Man (also for my dad)
7.Galaga (ditto)
8. Time Crisis 2, the dual cabinet
9. Lethal Enforcers
10. House of the Dead 2

3)Thunder Blade (cockpit)
4)Spyhunter (sit down)

9)Addams Family
10)Indiana Jones 1993

Games that will not be in the arcade:

Ikari Warriors, one of the worst series ever made. It has shitty controls that make targeting impossible, horrible gimmicky lazy design, annoying quirks, and is unplayable.
Rhythm games, which are tedious, repetitive, and inane.
S.N.K. fighters: Look past any fanboy tendencies, and see that they are slow and boring.
Racing games, because I have more teeth than children--the full set of the former, and zero of the latter, which makes me happy.
