Games that totally should be in Game Room

This will probably be dominated by 90's Capcom Brawlers and Fighters, since that's what I played in the arcades.

Showing 1-10 of 14 items

S.T.U.N. Runner

1. S.T.U.N. Runner

The controls might be a bit hard to replicate on the 360 (for instance, the steering sticks could be twisted to point your guns up or down in the arcade), but S.T.U.N. Runner was a lot of fun to play.

Final Fight

2. Final Fight

Interesting that this is out as an XBLA release, but not available in the Game Room. It seems like a natural fit. Speaking of which, why not integrate all former XBLA arcade games into the Game Room?

Knights of the Round

3. Knights of the Round

I have a special place in my heart for Capcom's brawlers. Knights of the Round was tough, but fun. It also allowed you to be equitable with your friends. If you hit an item (bags of gold, food, etc.) it split into multiple smaller items that you could share with your friends.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

4. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs has a few new ideas added to the Final Fight formula, but it really stands out in its presentation. It was based on a short-lived cartoon and comic book.

Alien vs. Predator

5. Alien vs. Predator

And by this, I mean the two-player Capcom brawler from the mid 90's. You could play as either one of two cyborg Marines, a Predator Hunter, or a Predator warrior. Each character had their own attacks, strengths, and weaknesses.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

6. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

This was a fairly obscure Capcom fighter, based on the same hardware that ran Street Fighter 3. However, it more closely resembled Darkstalkers, as the character sprites were bizarre and very unique. I don't remember a ton about this game, except that one character fought with a car. A fucking CAR!

Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom

7. Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom

Alright, Capcom, now you're speakin' my language! I love DnD, I love brawlers, and I don't care who knows it. Though it's light on narrative (for a DnD game), it's extremely fun. As you fight, your characters level up and gain new skills. It was very well animated and played pretty fast. One of Capcom's best.

X-Men

8. X-Men

6-player madness on XBLA would be so awesome.

Aliens

9. Aliens

This game was so much fun.

The Combatribes

10. The Combatribes

Permanent big head mode.
