I'm an Arcade nerd and someday I'll get the space, time, and money to get some hardware (mainly a Neo Geo cab).
This is just a personal list for reference. I don't actually own these machines (unless otherwise specified) and I'll probably never own most of these.
Neo Geo MVS
Probably the best early-90s Street Fighter clone hands-down. Also has that arcade Data East feeling.
Loved the series as a kid. NBA Hangtime is great too.
It's tough to decide between MK1, MK2, and UMK3. I've had more fonder memories with MK1 and UMK3, but MK2 has that fantastic atmosphere.
Nintendo VS. version.
Definitely surpassed by FHD, but I wouldn't mind owning the PCB of this for cheap.
Loved the SNES version as a kid. I also have a soft spot for Data East.
Probably one of the few 80's arcade games I'd actually want to own.
Favorite in the series, more for nostalgia purposes. Loved SF2T for the SNES as a kid.
Atomiswave
Favorite in the series.
Atomiswave
Favorite in the series. Great roster mix and tag-team mechanics.
Neo Geo MVS
Probably too expensive to get as an arcade cart. Not a big fan on the cutesy anime designs, but it's fun.
Neo Geo MVS
Work that ball.
Neo Geo MVS
Favorite game in the series. Feels great to play.
Neo Geo MVS
Would be a great party/casual game to own in an arcade cab.
Neo Geo MVS
Fuck Golden Tee, this is the REAL shit.
