If you were given 5 arcade machines of your choice, which ones would you choose?

List threads, awesome, time to scroll past everyone else’s post and make one that no one will read!

Gundam Vs Gundam for sure, I’m a pretty big Gundam mark and you pilot your suit as if you’re actually in the cockpit with the seat and all. (Oh noes opinion time let’s all blow up!) Comparing it to Virtual-On is like comparing a car to the wheel, it’s everything Virtual-On was and so much more.

Super Turbo (Japanese) in Vs City cabinets - I understand people like the old school feel of elbow to elbow gaming, but really that’s for the dogs. There is nothing like playing my favorite fighter with my own cabinet and not seeing who I’m playing, beating 3 scrubs in a row then out of nowhere completely getting ran through and getting up to see who it was. Also I say Japanese because I like the voices better, Dee Jay yelling “QUAAAAACK” (I know it’s Crash!) is too funny.

In The Groove 2 on a dedicated cabinet - these things are brain dead easy to hack, you can add any simfile to it since it’s built off of Stepmania, which means any DDR that comes out now you can have on it. Skins are changeable, much more features than DDR when it comes to mods, the bar is taller on a dedicated cabinet so I can do more 11+'s and it’s a great workout to boot!

Newest IIDX out - Face it IIDX has the best music of any game in it’s genre, it’s difficult, and causes imense CT. Ah perfection.

X-Men Arcade (6 player) - Yes you can play the rom, but it’s not TWO monitors side by side with everyone cramped and fighting for space just to even see what you’re doing. This one is a nostalgia pick for sure.

Thats popped up on so many people’s thing, that it obvious in this day and age of wide screen gaming that it needs to be re-relased as a XBLA or PSN title…though it needs more levels/etc

I wish I could slap you with my +12 cock of smitting for picking ex-men over D & D fucker

I’m sorry I got Dazzler for a body shield and can always Nightcrawler away from trouble. :arazz:
unplugs Angelpalm’s Mount Dew

Honestly I’ve only played the rom of this, and it’s definitely one of the best beat em ups I’ve played. My first 4 are definite keepers as far as arcade games, but I’ll still pick X-Men again because of nostalgia. Plus two monitors.

  1. X-men 6 player ver
  2. Street Fighter IV VS cab
  3. Drummania V
  4. Initial D (any ver)
  5. DDR Extreme

No love for pinball in this thread.

Addams Family Pinball
Twilight Zone Pinball
LA Machineguns
Alien vs. Predator
Planet Harriers

1: Dungeons and Dragons Shadow over Mystara
2: Street Fighter II (The crazy one with air specials and random shit going on)
3: TMNT: Turtles in Time
4: Aliens vs Predator
5: Initial D

  1. Super Turbo - The only serious fighting game I have never/will never get bored of
  2. Ikaruga - One of my favorite SHMUPS
  3. Virtual On - :3 (edit: after watching the Gundam Pod video I would rather have that)
  4. Street Fighter II Rainbow Edition - For laughs
  5. In The Groove 2 (Hacked) - Unlimited amount of songs. Many of which I will never be able to pass on foot should keep me busy.

The 4-6 players side-scrollers are obvious choices, so I didn’t mention any of them.

1- Indy 500 8 player. Always liked this better then Daytona.

2-Victory Road- Ralf and Clark’s best mission ever.

3- AvP- Every collection needs a beat em up. This one is a no-brainer.

4- Killer Instinct - Jaw hit the floor the first time I saw this in person.

5- A pinball machine. There a bunch that I am interested in.

thanks for the rep tsuki, and to answer your question yes they have it. it’s an awesome version of puzzle bobble, it has fun modes like co-op and you can pick any of the girls. I always use Osaka or Kagura because they are the funniest characters IMO. they have it at Infinity too.
