this is the best arcade game, for some reason everywhere i went to with an arcade, no matter how small or limited its selection, had a cabinet of this loving game more often than not.

once when bored out of my mind at a riverboat shaped hotel somewhere in the south when i was like 16 i went to the arcade with a friend and dumped about $30 into the drat thing and beat it. you shot CDs at enemies that were like missiles and rescued aerosmith from trouble because then they saved the world



Good Arcade Game

No he's right. I skipped listing any Neo Geo games because they're sort of not really arcades, but if I had it would only be Metal Slug 1 and 2, Samurai Showdown 1 and 2, Aero Fighters, and that Michael Jackson game.

Nah you need accuracy if you're going to kill all the guys and still have enough time to shoot all the secrets. And I do mean ALL the secrets. You can't do that with 2 guns.

Oh yeah, Gunblade was another amazing one.

Also, Silent Scope. That was probably one of the best mounted-gun arcades ever.

Getting all headshots just for the challenge of it owned. IIRC I never could get past the stage with the guy carrying a hostage running around the football field dodging all the football players. That was goddamn hard and I never had enough money to make it past there.

We should also have a list of arcade games that were way better on the SNES. Like UN Squadron and Smash TV. They were interesting but ultimately not fun on the arcade, but their ports to the SNES were magical.

Mega Man: The Power Fighters is like a Mega Man boss rush where you can play as Protoman, like any right-minded person wants to.

The Bishi Bashi games are about using three big buttons to play a bunch of minigames. It's Japanese. This is the PS1 version but it's the same thing.

Full size cabinet that you sit in and the one I played was simulated motion control and turnt up loud as gently caress. I've always loved racers but this one had all these cool little details and I loved the first person as opposed to the others like Outrun, which rules too.

All Metal Slug games are good, what the heck are you guys talking about?!

One of my favorites is Outrun 2. I've never played it in an arcade, but there's a version for PS2 and some other consoles that's ridiculously amazing. The PS2 port is like $5 and pretty easy to find.
