Anyways, I'd have to go with Shinobi. I could play that game forever. (A close second would be Punchout! I loved the way the cabinet looked.) | Promote this thread! |  | Tenken347

Aw man, now I'm going to have something like this (vgmusic.com) (DISCLAIMER: Noisy MIDI) running through my head all day.
{ More at http://www.vgmusic.com/music/other/miscellaneous/arcade/ }
I have to say I was more into pinball - if I had to pick JUST one, it would probably be ...hell, I can't remember the name of it, but it was the first "Mario World" pinball machine. I also liked Hook, Addams Family, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Terminator 2, Gilligan's Island...hmm, you can pretty much tell which five year period I was into pinball. I'd probably STILL be into pinball if it was freely (cheaply) available. It probably is! I should take a long lunch and go look! Ehh....later.
Some day I'll just BUY a pinball machine...but not until I don't have to carry it up a flight of stairs to take it home. ;-)

| #7 Posted on 23.9.05 1141.42 Reposted on: 23.9.12 1141.45 | Heavy Barrel was the only one I could beat with a single quarter. X-Men (the four-player, two screen cabinet) was also a favorite of my friend Jeremy and I.
I played a decent bit of Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat but played less as more sequels came out and I could play them at home. | pieman

Exactly. That's what we did. It's still in my friend's basement to this day. Eight Ball Deluxe. Awesome. | The Guinness.

| #12 Posted on 23.9.05 1414.18 Reposted on: 23.9.12 1414.30 | I can think of two right now...
Number one: I absolutely LOVE DDR right now, even though I totally suck ass at it. How fat chick teenagers can kick ass at it is totally beyond me, but I like to try. It costs an arm and a leg to play, though.
Second, if I ever see FROGGER at an arcade, it owns whatever quarters (and possibly loonies and twoonies) in my pocket. Luckily, there's an online version at Tiptonium.
For those interested, the guys at Tiptonium also have great games on their site, totally free. | Shem the Penman
