  • SoulOnIceSoulOnIce 13,027 Posts
    yeah, SUPER OFF ROAD was a pretty cool game,
    especially with multiple players.

    Streetfighter - game was decent enough but it was all about the pressure punch button
    Final Fight
    Streetfighter 2
    Super Hang On
    Track & Field
  • yuichiyuichi Urban sprawl 11,332 Posts
    I was never really good at Streetfighter....


    Virtua Cop (One of the bright spots for SEGA during this time. And a genre that would later spark Time Crisis, etc.)


    Virtua Fighter 2 (A sentimental pick. But nonetheless, one of the first and best 3D polygon fighters. Another classic by SEGA.)



    Samurai Showdown (Another classic from the long forgotten SNK. Real Headz know the one slash where it takes away like half the life of the opponent!)


    Daytona USA (damn, how could I forget! ANOTHER classic by SEGA.)


    Sega Rally (Yet another racing game, during the same time as Daytona USA. Bringin' back good memories...)

    I only hung out in the arcades in the early 90's so for me:
    Windjammers
    Vendetta
    The Punisher
    SF 2
    Outrun

    actually still play some of these from time to time with the mame emulator.

    One of my favorite 2D shooters of all time, Raiden (so damn tough to beat in the arcade though! you need like 30 quarters)
  • paulnicepaulnice 924 Posts



    That's right!
    Back around '94 I picked up a used Neo Geo gold system in Akihabara, Japan.
    Brought it back home and I was video game God for a good minute.
    Just sucked because the games cost like $200. on average.

    But let me tell you.... Samurai Showdown 1 & 2, King of Fighters '94 (or was it '95)??





    Some classic, all-out war sessions went down at 103rd and Central Park West by God.
    And NO ONE was fucking with me. Not Jamal. Not Silq. Not 8-Off. Not U God. Not Chris. None of 'em.

    double dragon

    Yeah that makes my list,

    Along with

    Spyhunter
    Shinobi
    SF2
    & The beat 'em up where you have to fight Ninjas and could hang off lamp posts to do super kicks. EDIT: Just came to me - Shadow Warriors & apparently Americans would know this as Ninja Gaiden

    Honoury mention, Rolling Thunder & the 2p / 10p machines that in my younger days never had a shake alarm, so were always good for a quick shoulder barge and a few more goes.

    Bubble Bobble

    Good Call! I am more of a Pinball person ( tales from the cript is my shit! ) but

    I use play this game alot :



    Also another favorite ( before I knew that is what I'd actually do in ''real'' life_)



    I usually went with the puzzle and driving games. Pole Position...that California Drivin one. Mortal Combat WAS especially dope.

    where were you when i needed you most dream girl?


    i remember one time a girl came to our local row of arcade machines, much foot shuffling and ground staring ensued.

    [sigh]man, we could have been so sweet... [/sigh]



    p.s as far as pinball went, it was all about the Addams Family for this kid.
  • drewnicedrewnice 5,465 Posts
    First arcade game I remember being excited about. I used to always play it at Tally Hall (R.I.P.) after my grilled cheese with ranch dressing:



    The only arcade game I ever pumped enough quarter in to beat:



    I remember this one being fun as shit:

    Pinball rules, i used to like arcades in the 80s/90s aswell and spent lots on Turtles in time, Street Fighter II etc. we even made fake coins out of old swedish 5 ??ringar that we wrapped tape around and cut so they were as thick as the 5 kronor (which was what you could pay with)..

    But regarding pinball, favourite games are (no particular order)

    Star Wars (not the videopinball but the one with a nice plastic deathstar and one ramp..)
    Fish Tales
    Whodunnit (only for the penthouse party mission )
    Monster bash
    Addams family

    Also the "new" lord of the rings pinball ain't bad at all..
