What Arcade game(s) did you go out and spend all your pocket money on? I' m a bit of a lightgun shooter myself. Me and a friend of mine used to spend hours on House of the Dead 4. I kept abbusing the grenade button though, so I got wiped out easily. I must' ve wasted so much of my spare change on that game. My brother and I played some Jurassic Park game in the arcade which I thought was pretty fun. I think we got up to the triceratops boss and died. I enjoy the Time Crisis games as well. I could play arcade shooters all day if I had the chance (and money).

HotD 2/3 and some weird machine where you had to punch stuff based on the Fist of the North Star anime.

I have no one favorite arcade game.. But one of my absolute favorites of all time has always been the original Space Harrier. That game to me has stood the test of time quite beautifully!

House of the Dead. By the way, do these games have to be ones you' ve actually played in an arcade? That' d limit the selections for a lot of people, but it' d also keep things interesting. There' s always better stories behind going to an arcade than playing a " faithful port" or an emulator.

It is hard to pick out a single one, but I' ll mention some of my favs: Space Harrier - Hey, it' s Space Harrier! One of the few arcade games I' ve beaten in the arcade. I wowed the crowd with my ability to get through stages 9 and 14 with ease. After Burner 2 - Sit down version. Playing this game in the arcade is awesome, it had a very special feeling despite being a shallow game. Playing with a Mission Stick on the Saturn helps to recreate that feeling somewhat, but being moved around in the cockpit can never be replicated. It' s more real than flying a real jet! Q*Bert - Loved this game and it' s creepy voices. Ms Pac Man - Way better than Mr. Pac Man. Kangaroo - Loved it when I was maybe 9 years old. Great control, powerful graphics and mesmerizing audio soundtrack. Shinobi - Played smooth and fast. Dig Dug - Liked it back when I was a fetus. I never really considered Neo Geo games to be " arcade" games since the exact same thing could be played at home, but I think I did play a Neo Geo unit at an arcade maybe once, probably Magician Lord. Great game.

Great game. The coin-op version of ' Magician Lord' will forever remain my favorite Neo-Geo game! Followed by ' Blazing Star' . I enjoyed ' Kangaroo' a lot when I was a kid, but I also thought that the game was friggin HARD! I also had a love affair with the original ' Donkey Kong' , and quickly developed a very unhealthy obsession with ' The Shanghai Kid' . Another all-time arcade favorite of mine is ' Super Hang-On' , which to this day I still consider to be the greatest motorcycle racing game on Earth! In my mind, no other motorcycle racing game comes close.

Ah yes, Super Hang-On. I only ever saw that at one arcade. Out Run also deserves special mention just for being special back in it' s day. Another arcade which I only saw somewhere at Grand Central Station in New York City was Thunderblade. It was a sit-down version and the scaling was intense! Slow, shallow game, but the GrAfX blew me away! The Sega Master System version had slightly worse graphics.

ORIGINAL: Ornodeal Galaxians Heretic! Galaga or nothing. I was a Street Fighter 2 addict. I didn' t spend spare change on it, I spent significant portions of my salary. I would rather lose repeadedly on a StreetFighter 2 machine than even look at a any other arcade fighter.

Puzzle Bobble. This was in my school bar, and people would lose classes over it. It was just something unbelievable. Someone surely got rich over that one machine...

I used to love the FMV games, the space fighter one was good. Also and I can never remember the name of it (something like pengu or pengi.) Where you had to move blocks around to trap bears and you could electrocute the bears by ' wobbling' the walls.

Speaking of FMV-based games, I always enjoyed the coin-op light gun games from American Laser Games. Stuff like; Mad Dog McCree 1 & 2 Who Shot Johnny Rock? Space Pirates Crime Patrol Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars
