gaming Whats your favorite arcade game?

[VioletLinked 100]

Hi there! It's Violet again!

 

I'm just wondering what everyone's favorite arcade game is!

 

For me, It's gotta be SMASH TV.

I can't tell you how many quarters I have pumped into that machine!

 

Finally Beat Smash TV to day on my MAME emulator!

My Amazing Final Score: 17,670,590!

How can you go wrong with Metal Slug? You can't.

I love Metal Slug, damn! I need to play that agian!

 

 

Also, I'm quite surprised no one has mentioned Simpsons or BattleToads yet.

Pac-man is probably the best arcade game of all time, I like to blow a little steam playing Pac-man every once in a while.

[Fluttershy4life 150]

I'm going to sound really out of it because everyone has such specific names but probably Dance Dance Revolution XD Or claw machines...every single time i've been to an arcade there is a claw machine. and well i get addicted.

[Future Allie Way 185]

Space Invaders Not sure why, but I've always loved it.

[Aphelion 253]

Probably the biggest joke ever in arcade history...

I was on a school trip in an amusement park. I'm scared of rollercoasters, so me and my friend just walked around the place when all the other students were on the rides. We had done nothing for hours, except eating and walking, but then we found an arcade game hall and ended spending up 130 € on Sega Rally. I love the game.

[Radiance64 7,051]

Anything Midway...

[Aphelion 253]

Anypony remember this one?

 

[Veiled Enigma 389]

The original Mortal Kombat was and still is my favorite arcade game.

[(insert username) 53]

I absolutely love Galaga.

Sadly, it's one of the only games NOT on my arcade machine.

[Twiliscael 3,958]

Galaga and Pac-Man. Namco may kinda suck at video games now, but their games from whenever those darn machinez were popular are still addictively entertaining!

Back when I was an age that didn't end with "teen," I kicked all kinds of ass at DDR. I could ace 9-steps without breaking a sweat, and had beaten Max 300, Maxx Unlimited, and The Legend of Maxx on Heavy. I also was able to use lingo like "acing 9-steps" and list stupid-sounding song titles without internally shouting at myself to shut the hell up.

 

Nowadays, I would probably be worn out from a single 8-step, but my arrow-reading skills are still pretty sharp, StepMania being my rhythm game of choice.

[Sand Piper 12]

If I could say ski-ball I would say that would be my favorite as it's the one game that would eat up my game tokens or quarters in exchange for tickets. Which in turn were used to purchase, come to think of it, rather cheap toys but I was a kid back then and it was fun.

 

In terms of a videogame, I was quite partial to House of the Dead and Time Crisis though I couldn't get very far. Also I particularly enjoyed the Galaga-esque games where you would have to shoot your way through waves of enemies.

Behold:

[RoboGuy9000 103]

Metal Slug 3, the sprite animations are some of the best I've seen from an arcade game and it's gameplay is quirky and addictive.

And the first thing you encounter? GIANT ENEMY CRABS.
