    Street Fighter II was one of the illest games when it first came out. All the crazy moves with Guile,

    Invisible Throw
    Hand cuffs
    The Statue Freeze

    Once you had those moves down you could step to anyone, if you couldn't undo the freeze you would have to re-start the machine and give your opponent change for another game or run out the arcade fast! Then SFII Turbo came out with a shit-load of glitch/secret moves with Zangief climbing up the screen 20 times grabbing your oppenent with the pile-driver and dropping down the screen 20 times. Ryo with the high uppercut with 4 fireballs at the same time, you could finish the game in less than 10 minutes!

    720 was another dope game, those damn bee's always got me!

    I'm surprised no-one has mentioned,

    Gas Panic!

    There were some super bootleg versions in HK with real nude chicks if you could complete the levels!!!

  • rolling thunder
    narc
    donkey kong
    gauntlet
    spy hunter


    ring king was good...too many good games.

  • For my money, I enjoy Sunset Riders 2-player action



    GREAT GAME!

    played this one on the sega genesis at home as well

    I think you mean Gals Panic, though Gas Panick woudl be a funny one

    I think these sports games deserve honorable mention:
    Track And Field (I used to use the pencil until they pu tup the pencil gaurds)
    Super Dodgeball
    Excitebike
    and my all time favorite:

    Cyberball 2072

    Ms. Pac Man
    Donkey Kong

    I'm glad there's MAME. I missed Neo-Geo when they came out, so don't fuck with me on Puzzle De Pon.

    Crazy CLimber is for the real heads.

    i was on a big emulator kick a couple years ago. download MAME and then search for the ROMs.

  • Another classic thread. I just bought Donkey Kong 3(in good shape!)for $50 a couple of weeks ago. Not a bad deal at all!

  • oops..forgot to post a picture.

    If anyone is interested in buying original stand up arcade game machines..holla at me. I got a hookup on about 30-40 different games. Most of them around $75-150. You'd have to drive to South Carolina of course..but this is what seperates the SERIOUS Pac Man players from the kiddies.

    I would like to get a machine down the line. I had read on a gaming board that you have some people who have made custom mods, so that it looks like a regular table, but it plays 10 to 20 games. A lot of the games, as you can see if you have the MAME emulator, were 20k or less.

    The part that has the joystick and buttons are modified too, so it also has a ball if you want to play Centipede or something. They get as hardcore as anyone in any other hobby. I also read an article about a game room in Portland where they tweaked the screens, so that they look as new as they did in the 80's.
