Favorite Arcade Games

Recommended Posts

I went down to Gameworks the other night and realized how much I used to love the arcade. So what's everyone's favorites.

 

Silent Scope. I suck badly at it, but I still love it.

 

The Ambulance game...dunno the official title. But you start at the scene of an accident and have to rush the patiant to the hospital. And when you get bumped or crash it shows them rocking in the back. It's great.

 

I just played this 6 person indy car racers that I fell in love with. 6 cars lined up and the cars move really well to go along with how you're doing on the track.

 

Galaga...who doesn't love Galaga?

Crimefighters. The boss fights were pretty cool, a great beat em up, and hell one of the first games I remember where you could knee the enemies in the nuts. Pretty funny.

WrestleFest, Silent Scope, DDR, Derby Owner's Club (before bastards began bringing in cracked horses), APB.

 

I used to be such an arcade junkie...I stil am, but nowhere near as intense.

Street Fighter 2, I was an addict. The Donut shop across the street from school had daily tournaments before, during, and after school. I remember people doing the old "hammer-to-nickel" trick so we could keep playing.

No love for Gauntlet Legends? I wasted close to $100 on that one summer (since the game so kindly tells you how many credits you've bought when you beat it).

 

I also used to waste a lot of time on Toki and STUN runner.

The constantly diminishing health in Gauntlet Legends really pissed me off. Game's pretty cool otherwise, made for a decent rental once it came to consoles.

#1 - Def the 6 man X-Men Two Screen

#2 - Hydro Thunder

#3 - I have no idea what it was called, but it has two huge mounted machine guns, and you go flying around cities shooting yellow/blue energy pulses. Fucking sweet with a buddy.

For me, since I don't have much arcade experience...

 

Mo-Cap Boxing.

 

That game helped me cut weight for wrestling.

 

Plus, I loved "kissing" the glove before the final punch.

X-Men (I remember helping to beat it with 5 strangers as each of the X-Men)

TMNT

Simpsons

Wrestlefest

Mo-Cap Boxing

 

And my personal all time favorite game is Virtua On. Sitting there in the booth, using the dual joysticks to fuck other robots up was just too much fun.

- I got some serious tennis elbow playing MoCap Boxing the first time I played it being oblivious to the fact that punching power has no impact in the game. Then I discovered the glove tap trick and all was good.

 

- Can't believe I forgot the other Bemani games. DrumMania remains my favorite and I really wish a IIDX machine would appear in a more convienient position around my place.

 

- Boon, the helicopter game you're referring to is Gunblade NY if I'm thinking of the correct game.
