Williams Blaster from 1983, I want the sit down version and I want to melt my brain on a ton of acid and play the shit out of it. Amazing visuals in that game. If I could pick 5 games to own as cabinets it would be

1 Tecmo Knight

House of the Dead pedestal cab. Dream has already been achieved.

I can say though that owning arcade cabs sounds a lot better in theory. Most arcade games are really better played in short bursts, and with the price of cabs and/or PCBs, your entertainment dollar is probably better spent on console retro.

That being said, I still want an Aero City and a vector game.

You have to replace the suicide battery once every few years to make sure it won't suicide. It is not a hard procedure, but can be a bit of a pain and I guess there is always the risk of forgetting or having it die during the replacement process. There are worse suicide battery mechanisms out there, but the fact that it has one at all is incredibly irritating.

It's one of the first I ever played as a kid in the 80's, back when it was just released. It really stood out from the others because of the 3 playfields, and the haunted house theme was really well-done. I played some much fancier ones since then, but it still remains my favorite...
