Danny666 | 3 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I already have arcade cabinet but i still want a original Killer instinct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,952 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Well not much debate, I actually do own just one, but by nature, it's a cheat as i have options. (150~ options technically.) I've got 35~ carts for this plus the 161in1 which has around 95-99 unique titles on there with the UniBIOS4 installed so I can Pick n Mix to the game I want from a popup menu. Wished I could afford the AES in the day as it was the rolls royce of consoles since it wasn't, just a repinned arcade board, then anytime, everytime I saw the big red cabinet at any location I'd play. My college in its infancy in that era had a very small rec room with like a 1/2 dozen games and 2 pins, the Neo was there the entire time and cartridges swapped out now and again. It always was my go-to. Now I walk across the room to go to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,584 Editorials Team · Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I don't know shit about arcades. Probably something like Ikaruga. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,830 Administrator · Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 4-player Trog. I've always wanted one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,091 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 If I had to go down to a single arcade machine, I guess Ms. Pac-man since it's infinitely replayable and just about anyone on planet earth would know what it is and could walk up to my machine and play a game without needing detailed instructions... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstralSoul | 502 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) A little bit about why I chose this: I was never much of an arcade guy, simply because my parents never took me to one as a kid, didn't get to go to an "arcade" til much later like late teens/early 20s, when the big games of the time were Cruis'n Exotica and Time Crisis 3 and all that. So I never got to go in arcade's heyday. However my parents took me to pizza hut every so often as a kid, and they had one single arcade machine hidden in the corner: OutRun. And every time we went I'd ask my mom or dad for quarters while we waited (it was usually a pretty long wait) and I'd play it over and over and over. I was never any good, but I loved the game and still do. Edited June 17, 2022 by AstralSoul 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Probably an original Galaga cabinet or a Pac-Man cocktail table. I spent a thousands hours playing both of those as a kid. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,701 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 For nostalgia reasons probably the Jurassic Park shooter above all others. There were birthdays where it’s all I played when I was a kid. But it’s a hard choice, I’d love an original Space Harrier or Time Pilot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,125 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I dunno I’ve been thinking about this for a few days and I think my favorite game to play arcade was probably any of the time crisis games or maybe even silent scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could get creative, Namco sold split cabs for the anniversary where it had both in one, half the cab art for each half of the two games. It would be amazing having that as a choice on one.

A_Feisty_Pickle | 244 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Dance Dance Revolution is my first choice. Don't think I'd ever get bored and great exercise. Planning on getting one someday, just hard to justify ~$5k-$10k for a nice one. Choice #2 is an MVS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgCollector | 911 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I have 38 cabs, so I guess I could not choose just one. If I had to keep only one it would be my Nintendo Arm Wrestling. Super rare and fun game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link | 2,727 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 MAME, duh Uh... one game? Not even a Ms Pacman/Galaga combo cab? My contenders: Turtles in Time or X-Men 6 player Good party games for lots of people to junp on Defender I have been just entranced by Defender ever since I discovered it in NES emulation. The arcade version has really unique controls inspired by actual ships. Kung Fu Master Similar to Defender, but easier for noobs to pick up - a classic game that is more complex than it appears, you can play simple and obvious but it rewards deeper strategy and skill. As I think about this, that's a factor in a lot of early 80s games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
