If you were going to buy ONE arcade machine for your house, what would it be? Personally, I'd go old-school and get a Galaga machine. Galaga (and weed) is one of the reasons my dad didn't finish college the first time through. I remember watching him play as a little kid... I fucking love Galaga.
Arcade
Platform »
Stand-alone machines specialized for individual games. Arcades began the game industry and peaked in popularity before home consoles took over the gaming public. Arcade games usually cost 25 cents, or 100 yen, per play. Known for the most cutting-edge technology of their time, arcades have the largest video game library, and greatest variety of control methods, of any platform.
If you were going to buy ONE arcade machine for your house...
I was $50 short of buying an NBA Jam machine at a flea market a couple months ago. It haunts me to this day.
I already have one :D
I've really thought about this before, but to choose only one might be difficult. I think I might have to go with Mortal Kombat 2. Area 51 is my choice for runner-up. If possible, I'd ditch both and get an air hockey table.
I think I'd go for Virtual On. That game was amazing at the arcades. I can't remember though, if two people could play eachother on one machine.
Other contenders include one of the Time Crisis games (I think 2), Marvel Vs. Capcom 1/2, AvP, Street Fighter 3/4, or the six-player X-Men machine.
I think I'd go with the old Terminator 2 gun game. Great fun. It would be that or a Simpsons arcade game.
Killer instinct without a doubt. It's those types that also is used with street fighter and mortal kombat games I think.
Neo Geo machine with arseloads of games shoved in there. Must contain The Super Spy.
One of those japanese NeoGeo candy cabinets with 4 games on it, or the NeoGeo cocktail table with 6 games on it.
