/vr/ - Retro Games

The best arcade there ever was and ever will be already exists.

>There was nothing more based than having 5 other committed bros with you playing this.

It's not /vr/ and I don't know whether it can even be considered a particularly good Pac-Man game, but the matter of fact is that people don't go to the arcade to autismally chase high scores anymore, they go to the -barcade- to have a drink and have some fun with friends, and fun with friends is best had when you can play with them or against them, and with that in mind I'm certain one of these would fare far better than a classic Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man cabinet, especially if you're trying to run a business, not hoard cabinets in your basement.

Now we only have to decide on four games to install ...

>>7741468
good call. i've played galaga+ms pac man so many times it would be a waste of space to have it

Not enough light gun shooters or Golden Age games.

>>7741636
Name three "Golden Age" games still worth playing today that haven't been comprehensively eclipsed by something else or a sequel in the meantime.

>>7741454
It's a good pick but no multi's in the /vr arcade. Not aesthetically pleasing plus we have PLENTY of room so space is not an issue.

>>7741404
Galloping Ghost is big, but it has its share of shortcomings. One of the most obvious is how little space they have for so many machines, so there are a lot of genres known for being housed in bigger machines that they have to largely skip out on (rhythm games, racing games, bigger light gun games).

My submission.

>>7741483
161 in 1 in all 4 slots.

>>7741787
>161 in 1 in all 4 slots.
Retard. The 138 in 1 has a bunch of games that aren't on the 161, like Twinkle Star Sprites.

If I ever get Fuck You money it's going to be all about Sega Deluxe cab games and others of similar nature. Arcades should be about the experience you can't get at home and that style of play has never really been replicated except for a select few crazy people

I always thought the custom marquees that Galloping Ghost uses for unlocalized arcade games they imported from Japan are kinda tacky.

>Best Bro-op arcade game ever created IMO

it makes me pp hard

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

>>7742141
The closest arcades will ever get to an RPG

don't know which brand is supposed to be the best, but we definitely need at least one of these
someone pick some pinball machines too

>>7742119
Same here. I like Galloping Ghost (first went in 2012), but the space constrictions and the smokey-ish smell in particular kept me from enjoying that place for a while

Last time I went was in summer of 2019 though and by then they had freed up some space and it smelled fine. It's probably still my most favorite Illinois arcade, never tried their pinball building though

What's the easiest way to set up MAME or FBA to play most arcade games? I tried setting it up a few years ago and just couldn't wrap my head around it.

>>7742464
Don't do mame, get retroarch with a mame core. Makes it a zillion times easier. The issue with mame is its compatability and coinfiguration. Lots of that is handeled with retroarch, and the library translator is called cmpro. You need it to translate a .dat that matches your core, so all the games are the version it wants.

PS: I propose that the perfect arcade would have an 18+ section for risque games.

>>7741394
Put the simpsons game. That one was dope

This and the original Jurassic Park sit down machine are my dream acquisitions

I've never played Killer Queen. I've never thought it looked that fun just watching gameplay but maybe it's great.

Super Mario Bros 1: The Arcade Game

>>7743134
That shit confused me so much as a kid. They had one at a local roller skating rink. When I first saw it I was like holy fuck it's an arcade SMB this shit is going to be amazing. Then I realized it was just the same SMB I had at home. But in an arcade.

Hell, I'm still not even sure why it exists. Was it just to market the NES? Was it so Nintendo could claim the NES provided "arcade quality graphics"? Did they expect the NES to fail and wanted to retain their foothold in the arcade business?

>>7743145
Not everyone owned an NES and Super Mario Bros was already made. Might as well make an arcade port. Quite a few NES games got arcade ports. (hell, pic related exists, which I think was technically Nintendo's very last purely first-party "arcade game")

>>7743291
If you're going to port a console game into an arcade game, you'd think you'd like, you know, improve it. NES was super limited compared to even low end arcade hardware.

>>7742926
war is fun, m8

it's like a big 'ole video game

>>7742273
>>7742768
Add Scared Stiff to that for me. Muh favorite pinball.

>>7743306
Just taking home console hardware and plopping it in an arcade machine was a pretty common practice right up until arcades switched to PC-based hardware. Like the Sega Titan was just a Sega Saturn. And I know there was a board based on the Atari Jaguar, too.

>>7743145
its harder than the nes version and some of the levels were from lost levels

>>7741483
Metal Slug 1
Metal Slug X

Remove 4 and put 2 if we are allowed to use the modded version of 2 which removes slowdown

Add all three silent scopes. 3 is my favorite

>>7741460
I went to an arcade where this machine was always broken. Such a letdown

Both Chiller and Crossbow

>>7743463
That one's really great I spent like $20 at a dive bar playing it.

>>7741910
>2 driver system
So how does that work?
Do both players have to provide the same input for the car to respond?

>>7742651
Why is there a butthole in the middle of that playfield?

>>7742970
No underhand grip allowed.

>>7742926
Apparently at some point somebody realized it was kind of weird so they changed it

Don't do anything past X. It was either made by Koreans and gooks so looks like crap.
So you can do other games that Nazca did that are neat, In the Hunt (the metal slug sub game they did while still working for irem) and Blazing Star (when they worked closer with SNK as yumekobo and made their R-Type clone, because after all they made R-Type while at Irem too).

Any Metal Slug after X is unpure and dogshit unless it's the NGPC or GBA ones, even the ports.

>>7741394
QIX BETTER BE ITT, OR ELSE

>>7741394
There must also be a floor completely dedicated to japanese businessmen smoking and playing arcade mahjong

>>7746406
It randomly changes the driver.

It'll never be the perfect arcade to me without this.

>>7746406
There's an exclusive mode in that version where control of the car shifts every time you hit a checkpoint. It's the only mode in the game that uses both wheels.

>>7748640
I agree. Metal slug 3 deviated from the established formula too much. X is the best in the series.

Needs more shoot 'em ups, particularly this one.

>>7741394
I would break into the dirty hoarders house just to have VERTEXER at /vr/cade

If I could only put one game of my choice in here, it'd be Trog. So many happy memories of getting ice cream at the local dairy and murdering clay cavemen.

>>7748889
No way. If anything, MS3 goes the closest to the balls to the wall shitstorm which was GunForce II. Its not even my favorite of the series, but it definitely plays like the pinnacle of the original games before SNK went to shit.

No one likes metal slug 3 or gunforce2

>>7750467
how come the wires dont get tangled up

>>7751896
I'm no electrical engineer but I'm guessing some kind of contact point that allows for rotation where the rings connect instead of wires.

This would be cool

local arcade in NJ still has this one ... childhood
