What is your favorite arcade game?

Daytona USA
Lucky & Wild hands down.
I remember playing this for the first time at arcades and being blown away.
Runner-up: Smash TV
A bunch of the classics I guess.
I usually favor the ones with vidya characters I'm already familiar with.
So like Mega Man Power Battle was a fun one to play.
Atari Star Wars
>>322994776
Fucking JOUST
Don't know why knights are riding on ostriches but I'll be damned if it's not entertaining as shit
>>322994776
Bride of Pin-bot (you bring her to life in stages and at stage 4 she orgasms- that would never be allowed today) or >>322994878, or Time Crisis 2

If you didn't play this when you were barely tall enough to reach the cabinet, I pity you.
Main was always pink Shuma cause I was a dumbass and always pressed the wrong button at the character select screen.

Had an absolute blast with my best mate playing this as a kid.
Sinistar
Robotron 2084
Smash TV is awesome, but Robotron is so much faster and more "raw".
>>322994776
>Red Baron
>Joust
>Afterburner
>San Francisco Rush
>Sega Rally 2
>Virtua Fighter 4
The arcade closed down in my town after this, so I have no more favorites. :(

This thing was a total quarter muncher, but it was as addictive as hell.
>>322994776
are you ready to go back?

Gravitar
Cruisin' USA mother fucker
Beatmania
I love light gun games and this one had a great gimmick.
>>322995808
>he doesn't know about the 4 player Joust spiritual successor on Wii U with
Four different teams all having multiple birds to ride
>There will never be a port of this due to Konami going down the shitter
>>322998060
Please be so kind as to name this game.
Pang
It'd have to be Puzzle Bobble or Metal Slug.
>>322994776
Polybius
>>322998036

>>322998236

SPORTSBALL
It's an indy game, so it looks like shit, but the gameplay is there, bruh.
>>322994776

TOTAL
CARNAGE
Too many to list. All I can say is that I fucking love Sega games.
VIRTUAL ON
I hardly ever played arcade games at my local cinema theater because I rarely go see movies, they used to have ASver2 but they removed it since a few years ago otherwise a bit of DDR but I haven't played in years.
>tfw English
>tfw we have a bitching arcade in London

Nigger please, I am the last star fighter
>>322994776
Right now? Pic related, and Terminator Salvation
>>322994776
The star wars arcade trilogy, metal slug and prehistoric island in 1939.
Virtual On. While I love me my fighting games and several racing/rhythm games, I really just fucking love Virtual On. Fast paced robot action with twin sticks is just so fun.
Right now it's a bit of a tie between Tekken 7 and Wangan though. And the occasional USF4 when there's people around.
>>322999301
I don't know what's worse. Seeing your favorite local arcade and your favorite game disappear all of a sudden, or staring in the face of an old arcade you used to frequent but that place is dilapidated as fuck and collecting all sorts of dust and rat shit.
The latter made me sad as fuck.
>>323005729
Shit, how's TC5? Any better than 4 (although I had fun with 3/4).
>>322994776
Bubble Bobble - GOAT
Galaga
Time Crysis - I've not played many light gun games so this may be pleb taste.
>>323005729
Fucking time crisis with that sweet pedal action ooooh shiiiiiiet
Me and a buddy were able to finally finish this when we found it at our local arcade. They're actually opening up a barcade just down the street from where I live, I'm so excited!
>>322994776
Better than Contra.
>>323006096
Maybe I've just gotten better at lightgun games over the years, but it seems really fucking easy. The switching between two covers is more of a hassle than cool, and instead of shooting in cover to switch weapons, there's a tiny-ass button on the side of the gun.
H-H-H-H-H-H-HYDRO THUNDERRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>322994776
My favorite had to be between "Bust A Move" and "King of the Monsters 2". I can't really choose one of the other. I loved them both.
>>323007776
Sounds all right I guess. I'll give it a shot when it's not relatively crowded and when I have my buddy around. We used to play the fuck out of Time Crisis (and House of the Dead, another GOAT. Even just for the dialogue).
Sunset Riders
Good question. I think Sunset Riders, Bust a Move and The Simpsons beat 'em up.
>>322994776
PIC RELATED IS MOST UNDERRATED ARCADE GAME OF ALL TIME!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmOir4G66eM
The one that is pictured, Robotron 2084. You cannot beat perfection.
>>322994776
Metal Slug 1
or maybe Time Crisis...
or maybe House of the Dead..
or maybe Silent Scope..
FUCK
I miss arcades /v/
