If you could have any arcade machine what would it be?

[GameGuru]

Alot of people might say a Neo Geo or Nintendo Play 10 units obviously but disallowing those two what single game arcade unit would you want?

[JeffD]

that's easy......Discs of Tron. Second choice would be a cockpit version of Star Wars.

[VACRMH]

I love ths question

Aliens VS Predator

[Darth Sensei]

that's easy......Discs of Tron. Second choice would be a cockpit version of Star Wars.

2nd both of those. If it was a "regular" cab, I'd say Pacman or Asteroids.

[Castelak]

Pump it Up!

[leonk]

My MAME machine! What else!??

Otherwise, a real sit down dedicated driver.. Like Daytona USA.

[Bratwurst]

I'd like a four player TMNT 1 or 2.

[Querjek]

Baby Pacman. I don't care if it sucks, it looks cool as hell to me. My choice actually was Playchoice-10, but you said no

[josekortez]

My first choice would be NBA Jam, for sentimental reasons. One of the greatest summers I ever had as a kid was spent playing the arcade version for free after my friend figured out how to open up the cabinet. My second choice would be Daytona USA because of another great summer, but I have a Dreamcast with NBA Showtime and Daytona USA, so I really don't need either.

ROBOTRON!!!!!!

Just to have it standing in the corner of my games room making the noises it does would be bliss.....And it would stand there taunting me and growling at me before humiliating me once again....and so it would continue, day in day out, until one day I would sneak up on it and catch it unawares and KICK ITS ASS!!!

Otherwise Defender.....harder to control, more difficult game, more satisfaction when I finally nail the sucker and crack 1 mill!!!

[Dire 51]

My first choice is Splatterhouse, since apparently I'm never going to get an arcade-perfect translation for a console. I wouldn't mind having Rastan, Haunted Castle, Shinobi or Shadow Dancer machines either.

[jgenotte]

Ivan Ironman's Super Off Road. 4 Players on one arcade = awsome!

Rampage is a close second for sentimental reasons.

[AB Positive]

no Big Red 4-slot? phooey...

Well, as much as I love fighters, I don't think I'd play a SF2 cab enough to make it matter. That said....


Probably first choice would be Simpsons 4-player, followed by Crazy Taxi. CT in the arcades is just way too fun.

I can only choose one? If so, then a fully-working, restored, dedicated Rock-Ola Fantasy cabinet.

Runners-up: Tron, environmental Discs Of Tron, cockpit Star Wars, cocktail Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man, Robotron, Sinistar, Dig Dug, cocktail Atari Football (actually, I think that's a redundancy - there wasn't an upright Atari Football was there?).

I'd also settle for the Odyssey2 kiosk that sat sad and empty at CGE '03.

[k8track]

It'd be a three-way tie amongst Amidar, Pepper II, and Crystal Castles. Can't decide which! After that I'd go with Star Rider, Journey, Arkanoid, or Space Encounters.

I'd love to see a working Fantasy myself; I love playing it on MAME but the sound is incorrect, so I'd love to hear what it really sounds like!

But I must say that I'm extremely happy with my Atari 5200 Kiosk, even though it's in storage in my old art professor's studio basement. I long for the day when I can move it into my own house.

[Flack]

720 first, with Star Wars a close second and a big ass four player Gauntlet third.

[Balloon Fight]

Definitely Robotron. That machine is such a beast, but so addicting. Joust would be second.

[Evil E]

I would want one of those sit down arcade games with the glass tops--you know where someone can sit on either side of it--I would get Joust or Donkey Kong.

[ubersaurus]

6-slot neo geo cab, with Samurai Shodown V, Fatal Fury Special, Magical Drop 3, Blazing Star, Andro Dunos, and League Bowling.

If you only want a normal machine, I'd probably have to say Space Wars. I LOVE Space Wars.

[MarioAllStar2600]

I love teh Discs of Tron machine. How teh arcade looks and its a pretty fun game. I think that would be my choice. I would lik e an X and O's football to though.
