Favourite Arcade Games & Machines

Recommended Posts

What are your favourite arcade games/machines?

 

This is prompted by a fortuitous discovery - every now and again I go down to the arcade on the seafront and put a single pound into Time Crisis 4 and see how far I get. It's very enjoyable (though 3 is superior, but 4s what I've started with so I will continue.)

 

However I was delighted the other day when I discovered they in fact had Gunblade - easily my favourite arcade game of all time. I love it's simplicity (no ammo or time limit) and it's chunky uzi-models attached the cabinet. They have a satisfying vibration and my favourite thing is to try and control both. It's stupid and bombastic and it makes no sense and god I love it.

 

 

So what are your favourites? Can be everything and anything from Daytona to Dance Dance Revolution to Pacman to TMNT to the Simpson's TMNT clone to that bitchin' After Burner machine that spun you around with the plane.

Probably Time Crisis 2 for me. I never really went to arcades when I was younger but when I was a teenager that was probably the game I spent the most money on.

When I was younger my parents would take me and a friend camping every year in the summer holidays. We'd go to the same place, same resort and I'd love it. The kids entertainment play bard type thing had time crisis in it. 30p a game. I spent SOOO much pocket money on this beast -

Completed it multiple times, Other kids would be all stood around watching me play it, So fun.

 

 

Again when younger, My dad's local pub (now my local pub) Would have one arcade machine in at a time, and I'd go to the pub with my dad and play on these machines when they were in.

They are by no means the best arcade machines around, but the hours I'd put into these games when I was younger. The only proper arcade machines I ever used really.

I never used to get many opportunities to go to arcades, but when I did, I near always went on outrun. It's still one of my favourite games, that still brings a smile to my face.
