I could have had one of these

>>865386
The Circus Circus in our area had one of those way back when. I was just a little too young to play it, wouldn't mind trying it out someday.

>>865386
holy crap i haven't seen one of those in AGES

But I got one of these instead

I like cabs that don't MAME so good...

>>865424
i just thought of the dollars it would cost to actually make that happen outside of just buying the damn thing

Power Drift.

But fuck emulation. You could get it pixel perfect on your computer, but it's not the same without this thing tipping you left & right. This game is pure, fast paced fun.

I always loved this back in the day, even though it cost $.50 to play.

I found it was a bit easier and more forgiving on timing than dragons lair.

I'm very sorry if you thought otherwise, but you haven't actually lived until you've played this thing.

>>865427
Good luck making one of these! Better luck finding any of these Sega Vector machines

The only way to MAME vectors properly is on an XY monitor and using this gadget the Zektor Vector Generator or ZVG

They're $260 and sold out

Get on my level

if you are close to the new england area, Funspot in NH may have one, not entirely sure, but it's worth going to since it's the biggest arcade in the US still in operation

>>865486
I'm in Minnesota, but would one day like to venture to Fun Spot.

And can we get some love for some mothafukkin LASERDISCS up in this nigger?

Operation Wolf
Outrun
Vendetta
Elevator Action Returns
Gals Panic S2
Money Puzzle Exhange
Sunset Riders

Laserdisc!

>Sunset Riders

Hands down Zombie Revenge.

Me and my best friend still go down to our local arcade and play through it every so often.

>>865638
>Vendetta

Good man.

I enjoyed
Street Fighter 2
Any top down fighter
Aliens vs Predators
Simpsons
Xmen
That medieval football one
Any neo geo
Afterburner
3d haunted house one
ski ball
shoot the clowns teeth with water
My arcade was called the goldmine only one left now is golf and stuff

>>865505
Damn. Totally forgot about that game.
I never played it, but always thought it was omgithasakeyboardawesome!

>>865375
>aero fighters
was that the one where one of the ships turns into a giant robot as the special? and was one of the pilots a dolphin?

I always enjoyed Alien Storm since it was 3 players. The Simpsons game was fun too. Dont remember too many other arcade games. Its been so long

>>865482

That's not "afterburner 360" AFAIK, that game does not exist.

It's a G-Loc 360. And cabinet aside (which is awesome beyond words) it was a meh game.

>>865375

Does anyone know anything about an arcade version of "sIn". It's a PC FPS and ran on a PC on the arcade cabinet. I couldn't find a single thing on this game outside of an ebay offer, but there are no screens or video of the game.

not trying to be a faggot by writing sIn, it's just how it's written on a cabinet and I guess you'd have higher chance to know what the hell I'm talking about if i capitalize it like that

Pretty much anything by Atari that wasn't trying to chase trends (ie. fighters.)

>metal slug

This. Metal slug is really about my favorite and only game I'll play. It's kind of a tradition amongst friends, if we travel or known a arcade or mall with it we play it.

But quarters are expensive and so I have an emulator.

GO GO GO FUCK YOURSELVES

Does anyone remember a game where you would battle other players in a cyber/robo looking tank? It had:

>3D Polygonal 16/32-bit era graphics (virtua fighter esque, not sprite)
>Dual joystick controls, where you would pull one back and push one forward to rotate the tank in place
>A chair with ear level speakers

>>866308
Cyber Sled?

>>866329

FUCK YEAH

>>865386
I remember being ushered away from this machine quickly when I was a child. Was it adult content or something?

>DAYYTONAA!
>LET'S GO AWAY!
>DAYYTONAAAH!!

one of the less loved machines in my local arcade as a kid, was the last one against the wall. Just after this was the pool tables.
Emulating it/playing it on the Midway classics collection can never replicate that feeling of standing up against the machine, foot on the accelerator, and that one handed spin of the wheel on every corner.

>>866825
And on the opposite end, right up near the entrance doors, was this big mother fucker, forever beckoning you with it's deafening engine roars and exciting voice overs.

>eh
>Hear "ECHS MEN" and then "HWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGH"

They didn't have much in their "Arcade" section, but it was nice to always have a place to turn to.

Personal faves i can remember off the top of my head:

The Simpsons
Primal Rage
Mortal Kombat
Killer Instincts
Marvel vs. Capcom
Jurassic Park
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
TMNT: Turtles in Time

Liquid Kids.

I've just got a gay spot for cutesy platformers, so a lot of Taito games qualify.

metal slug
sunset riders
ninja turtles
simpsons
a soccer game from SNK, superstriker don't even remember
sega rally
daytona usa
ridge racer
cruis'n'usa
rad mobile!!

virtua fighter
tekken
sometimes I played the kof that characters represented a country, I think it was the first of the series
hard drivin'

well, I was one of those who enjoyed playing cabinets that didn't only consist of just a stick and some buttons

there was this one I don't recall the name but you controlled a big robot and you played using two sticks. pushing them far away from each other made the robot jump, one forward and the other backwards made it rotate. was really fun

Most of you have already mentioned some of my favorites.
I would add this to the bunch. Personally, I find strange that, according to the Internet, this game is kinda rare, and yet I found it in four arcades in my town, three of which are pretty close to my house

AD&D...
Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara.
