Your Top 3 would-love-to-own classic arcade coin-ops

[dot.fyre]

Yeah, that's above and beyond "skillfull"!

[guest4291]

well Dreamy Cast, has 2 I would love, but one superb favorite of mine would have to be the lighting fast :



S.T.U.N. RUNNER

OutRun sit down and StarWars Sit down.. boy i would be in heaven with those!

Ahh, there's one that brings back memories.   That was a favorite of mine when there used to be arcades around here.   Bloody brilliant game. It needs to make an appearance on a console or something, somehow.   Alot of retro games being given that treatment lately, this one needs it too!


Oh geez.  This is a tough choice for me, really.   


But after thinking it over, I'd go with:









As it is, I do in fact have an arcade cabinet, but it's not any of those three, I have a Golden Tee compilation. 

And I'd also love to have one of them Ultracade type cabs, with tons of games all in one.

But those three up there would be like, the ultimate prize, as gaming goes, for me.

This are my must owns..if i could lol

I would have what DreamcastRIP said but replace Star Wars with Bubble Bobble.

Cool to hear of someone else who rates GORF so very highly!

I first disovered Gorf on the Vic20, rather than the arcade but ive loved it ever since

[DreamcastRIP]

Some cracking choices so far!

[Console Compulsive]

Still waiting for that lottery win so I can buy these 





I wouldn't mind Dragons Lair, Super Don Quixote, Space Harrier, Pac Man and many others. Sod it! If I win the lottery i'll just build a house next to Arcade Barn. lol

Street Fighter II Championship Edition - my fave game in the world ever!

Euro Soccer Champ (hattrick hero) - a great 2 player game that me and my best mate would play even now

WWF Wrestlefest - the classic.

I'd like to add that this thread has answered a question that has bugged me for years! There was a game I played at Megabowl, a 2 player shooter with spaceship and stuff, I could never even NEARLY remember it or even describe it! Low and behold it's in this thread 'space lords'  This is a great find! thanks!

I think I'd also have to go for one Outrun and one Star Wars cockpit cabinet.

My third cab would be the uber cool 'I, ROBOT'

Primal Rage. It may not have been the best fighting game, but it had a lot of neat ideas, including mixing the more technical Street Fighter gameplay with the blood of Mortal Kombat. Also, dinosaurs. You like dinosaurs, right? I like dinosaurs. Plus, you can ONLY play this game properly on an actual cabinet, so...



Outrunners. For a while, I was thinking Cruisin' USA, but technically, I'd say this is the better game. Plus, I love the cool double cabinet.



The Grid. Another game you can't properly... or at all... on any emulator, this is a 3rd person shooter in the vein of Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament that I'd love to try out, just once.

Nice thread!

I would choose Tempest as my first choice:



Like Mire Mare I could easly pick I, Robot, I was adicted for quite some time! But seeing that it´s impossible to find one I will get Gorf as it reunites some of the best classic shooters in one game and the cabinet is really cool:



For the third I choose Robotron:




It was hard to choose only 3 cabinets...

[guest4451]

Galaga. The game I can play for hours.



Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo. My favourite Tetris-style game of all time.



Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off-Road. Potentially my favourite arcade racer, and the cabinet itself is a classic.

[AmigaJay]

Defo has to be Star Wars sit down....spent many a 10p playing on that just for the sound and visual delight at the time.
Another is Outrun deluxe sit down, again better the experience with full hydrolics as you had full lock turning the corners!
Other driving games Daytona, Virtua Racing and Ridge Racer all play 10 times better in the arcade than they did at home and would love to have them all....geez better empty my garage out!

[onthinice]

I want the Off-Road cabinet.

[Cryptic33]

My top three would have to be:







There were others I enjoyed but these stick in my memory especially Crystal Castles because it was a game that had an ending if you were good enough

[TrekMD]

My choices are pretty much the same as Cryptic33's.  The only difference is SW instead of Gauntlet.
