/vr/ - Retro Games

Always and forever, my one true love, Cyber Sled.

Nevermind, that it's a fucking game where you fight in hover tanks that can drift and have machine guns and missiles/lasers.

This is my favorite game period. I know nobody will ever feel the same but that's okay.

I also know that I'll never own a cab of this, but at least there's the PS1 port.

That game was my crown jewel at a yearly circus in my hometown. I thought it was the most advanced and amazing arcade game ever and I would show it to my friends but they were all "Meh. it looks like tron"

They all grew up to be cawadooty fans :(

>>1791384
Awwwyiss, punchin' some motherfuckers to death and gettin' a little bit of exercise.

YOU ARE ALREADY SWEATY!

>>1791384
it's not fair I want one, I want all of the best sega arcade games though :( man sega fucking ruled

House of the Dead.

Well not because of the cabinet but because of the arcades always putting that curtain around it.

Stroke of genius on their part. What kid could possibly resist playing that awesome game hidden behind a curtain?

Oh fuck. I had only just forgotten about you...

>tfw I'm a total fatty and my ass would never fit in that seat

>>1791384

>>1791987
their used to be a motorcyle game in kind of a "mad world" style look with biker gangs. does anyone remember what it was called?

Came here to post >>1792127
>>1791924 is also acceptable

I'm a sucker for this gun.

>>1792293
This

Yes please

Another Sega Arcade

The King

seeing 8 of these lined up next to each other.

the steering wheel was cool

I always liked the spinny wheelie things

right in the childhood

I have a soft spot for these

>>1793749
these are damn cool , but wouldn't they be uncomfertable as fuck???

>>1793749
I fucking love cocktails.

>>1793953
A local sandwich shop used to have a cocktail Galaga and I never had any troubles playing it. Always pissed off the staff by being too engrossed in the game to get my sandwich when they finished making it, so at least the fact that it was a cocktail didn't seem to affect my game any.

>>1793584

Mah nig...I need to play this game sometime, but now my only option is to emulate...just won't be the same...

>>1793953

Most of these things had seats. Supposedly, in podunk towns in the middle of nowhere, you could find diners that had tables like this too(as seen in The Wizard). I was never fortunate(?) enough to live in a town that cool, though...

Surprised this wasn't posted yet...

>>1793953
>>1793996
>>1794001

I knew a few places that had these, they always made me happy but at the same time i was annoyed at people getting food on the screen and the fucking buss boy or girl not fucking cleaning it.

tfw ill never be able to play Lucky & Wild in an arcade ever again...

>>1794080
>>1794001
>>1793996

I was thinking of building one for a coffee table or bar table but I'm concerned about the comfort. It seems like it'd be so fucking sweet though to have friends over drinking beers on a cocktail cab while ripping some street fighter on the table. dayymmm

>>1794001
I loved this fucking game. So many quarters spent! It was just an average beat 'em up I guess, but just such a blast to play, probably due to it being 6-player. People would still crowd around it waiting for a spot though

>>1791384
I loved the afterburner cabinet that would move around and this one game where you played as detectives and one person would drive and the other would shoot.

My brother and i played that game a ton.

>>1794379
>this one game where you played as detectives and one person would drive and the other would shoot

This sounds so familiar! Can you remember any details that might help us identify it?

>>1794369

Lucky & Wild

>>1794338
You'll never again be able to put your quarter on the bezel to claim your nextitude.

>>1794382

The fuck is goin on in this thread

>>1794717
Shit, I was going to post that.

I'd go with Fighting Mania, but it was released in 2000, so not really retro.

>>1793235
>>1793276
>>1793584

Classy fuckin tastes here. High fives all around.

If I had to choose though, it would be a toss-up between Starblade, A deluxe Hard/Race Drivin', or Galaxy Force. Starblade though, fuck. I loved that fucking game.

>>1795078

thank god. ITT: plebians who will never know that 1CC feel

Hands down, my favorite.

The amount of dollars I wasted on this machine as a teenager could have bought me the fucking cabinet.

The metal pump-action this cab had will always just barely beat Time Crisis lightgun with the recoil to me as most fun fake gun.

>>1794717
This guy gets it.

>>1795176
yknow you can emulate it

>>1795176
yeah but, look at what videogames has become. A bunch of faggots rotting in their basements while mom and dad yell at them from upstairs.

atleast back then playing videogames meant going out to the arcade for a bit of adventure.

>>1795206
>emulate
Why on fucking earth would I do that?

>>1795208
Oh, I'm not complaining. I LIVED in the arcade as a preteen/teen. Between Star Wars Trilogy, SF3, Area 51, Police Trainer, Daytona, and Rush 2049, I probably spent upwards of $5,000 in my youth. Wouldn't ask for a dime of it back.

just rememberd

and this

>>1795147

>Starblade

Here you go.

Ohmyfuck...I was just going through my folder of arcade cabinets, and saw this. Wish I got to play this more back in the day...

For obvious reasons, you never really saw too many of these...

>>1795290
I seen a lot of these in NJ. And was there ever an Arm Champs 1? I only ever saw 2, and seems to be the most popular one.

seeing this in person was fucking intimidating. It is massive, I think the tv size is 100"? Probably not my favorite, but definately stuck out the most to me.

>>1795324
It's not /vr/ (I think it was made in 2009), but aren't all arcade games welcome since they're an 'obsolete' method of playing games?

>>1795220
In the city where I live there are around five or six of the enclosed cabinets of Ocean Hunter. I never understood where the perceived rarity of this game comes from.

>>1795149
>implying SEGA didn't do 1cc in their glory years
Galaxy Force II sifted the best from the worst.

Pro tip: Don't fiddle with the valve test if you're standing over the seat. Automated 90psi kicks to the balls aren't fun.

Aww shit son

>>1794001
S.T.U.N. Runner's okay on MAME, even pretty nice with a USB steering wheel, but I'd still rather play it on Midway Arcade Treasures 3.

>>1793749
Had a Pizza Hut that had two of these, a Ms. Pac-Man and KISS.

There used to be a few arcades around 20 minutes away from here, one of them even had a bunch of older cabinets, but that one got shut down, and the only one left is another typical DDR and lightgun game only arcades, a damn shame.

>>1793996

Cocktails (kinda funny that the arcade I went to as a kid had a sign saying no eating or drinking on the cocktails) remind me of old cabinets that had ash trays built into them.

THIS

My all time favorite cabinet.

Playing Indy 500 with 7 other people while strapped in one of these bad boys was absolutely incredible in my childhood mind...

>>1796000
Fuck yes son

I intend to get something like Afterburner for my flight school when I open one.

Do you guys remember an arcade shooter that looked like a time crisis but with mulder and scully in it? The first level was a museum and the final boss fired rockets at you, and the second level was on a train.

Also
>>1795271
There was a special version of that game, there were like 4 player slots in order to play as cooperative, in a huge room, best arcade expierence of my life.

>>1796547

"That's...confidential."

Confidential Mission, that is. The credits were awesome mainly for the fact that they had outtakes of the stunts in the game, and some of them were just fucking hilarious. Also, I thought the last boss wore some sort of disorienting prismatic suit and slashed at you?

>>1795652

Maybe so...I'll keep the USB steering wheel in mind.

>>1795324

That stuck out in my mind because in my arcade, they had this setup, as opposed to the condensed cabinet, so you really felt like a badass Resistance soldier. I do think this is not /vr/ permissible, though...I could be wrong.

>>1795298

I think Arm Champs 1 was more widely released in Japan(Jaleco and all, maybe...). From what I'm able to gather, it was really basic compared to 2, with a lot less personality. As for me, the only time I ever see those units is at huge amusement parks, which I rarely get to go to...so that's what I mean by 'not seeing too many'.

>>1796020
Neat. I intend to get a TMNT 4-Player when I open my Ninja Academy

>>1796746
Wow man, thank you, I didn't got alive to the final boss though

>>1792514
muh childhood

>>1795584
This was the game I'd always play first when I went to Chuck E Cheese's. I loved that game so much

>>1795584
That fucking cold air hitting you.
Man I miss this shit!

Oh seeing this and playing it for hours was the BEST

Seems like no one posted this great thing.
