What are your favourite Arcade games of all time?

I liked:

Aliens
Aliens Vs Predator
Mortal Kombat I, II, and III
Streetfighter II
Robocop
Daytona USA
Lethal Enforcers

 

Coin ops. . .

I hate to make you feel old, but . . . YOU ARE OLD!

However. I have played a few at movie theaters, mini-golf courses and a rec center.

POW
Area 51
Beachhead (? it has a turret thing that comes down I may not have the right name)

 

"Old" is relative. And who cares how "old" you are, as long as you're not hitting on high school girls (or boys). I mean, if they approach YOU, that's one thing...

Ahem. My favourite coin-ops? Boy, I'm ancient. Here goes nothin' (at least in terms of total memory required):

1.) Galaga
2.) Ms. Pac-Man
3.) Sinistar
4.) Robotron:2084
5.) Mr. Do! (Dig-Dug knock-off, and you could get a "diamond" at random that would give you a free credit...this is a fairly obscure one)

The original "Star Wars" game was pretty sweet, too. Blowing up the Death Star will NEVER get old.

 

Well, arcade machines then.

 

DDR

 

My picks are...
1. House of the Dead
2. After Burner
3. Area 51

 

I'm 21 and I remember Galaga. That game was tha **** in the day.

 

I think I stopped playing coin-ops around 1990. These were some of my favs. There were probably others but I've forgotten them.

NARC
Rampage
Double Dragon
Gauntlet
After Burner
Outrun
Bubble Bobble
Chase HQ
Operation Wolf

 

House of the Dead. The only reason I don't buy one is because you have to be over 18 to own and operate a "heavy machine of enertainment(Read arcade machine)" in the good state of Texas.

 

Mortal Kombat II
X-Men: Children of the Atom
Street Fighter Alpha 3

 

Ninja Turtles

Double Dragon

(Why the hell didn't they make them for the N64, with its 4 controllers?)

 

The New Zealand Story was a fav for many kids in the summer back in the day. oh, how many .20 cent peices we would spend when on holiday.

 

The original Star Wars Arcade game. Must have been one of the first 3D games.

It will probably look ridiculous if you see it now, but back then it made you Luke Skywalker for 5 minutes.

 

"It will probably look ridiculous if you see it now, but back then it made you Luke Skywalker for 5 minutes."

Then you died because Vader was so cheap with that damned lightsaber......

 

I didn't play that many arcade games but:

Bubble Bobble
Street Fighter
Streets of Rage (not sure if this was the one)

are among my favourites.

 

TIme Crisis games are the best arcade games ever!

 

" Then you died because Vader was so cheap with that damned lightsaber......"

I think he is referring to the old school version with the wire frame graphics. No DV in that one.

I used to love:

Robotron
Phoenix
Discs of Tron

now I have them all on EMU.

 

The classics of TMNT, X-Men, and the Simpsons. Plus I'm a fan of the Silent Scope series.

...well, the first arcade game i ever played was "Centipede" so it's always held a special place in my heart..

1. "Aliens" still the most thrilling arcade experience i've had. I was in heaven when i found it at MAME. "This time: It's WAR!"


2. "Street Fighter 2"- give me Chun-Li, and i'll win this tournament.


3. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles": awesome game. "Turtle Power!"

4. "Gauntlet". The original. "Green Elf is about to die."

5. "Bubble Bobble": I love this game.

6. "Afterburner": the full-cockpit edition was pretty darned cool.

7. "Super Offroad": I was King. I actually played this game so much i BROKE THE MACHINE.

8. "Mortal Kombat": really the last great arcade game.

9. "SMASH tv": "BIG MONEY! BIG PRIZES! I LOVE IT!"

10. "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker": Hey, it was a cool game, alright?

 

720 I'd have to say is far and away my favorite coin-op of all time.

I also put way too many quarters into those old laser disc games; Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and the like.

 

Ops... Up there I meant 'Street Fighter 2' and not 'Street Fighter'.

 

My 5 favorites (in no particular order):

Pole Position
Stun Runner
Cyberball
Baseball Stars Professional (I know it's actually a Neo-Geo game, but I played it in the arcades)
Star Wars (the original vector graphic game)

 

"" Then you died because Vader was so cheap with that damned lightsaber......"

Oh I was thinking of that sega one I played in a wal-mart once.

 

Star Wars Saga

Area 51

Time Crisis (all of them)

Pac-Man (who doesn't like it)
