Do you have any arcade games that you've waited to play at home, only to never see that day come. What arcade game were you fond of but it never made it to a console?

For me, after the sucess of Dragon's Lair there was an anime style laserdisc game call Cliffhanger. I never played it a whole lot due to how rare it was to find locally.I never saw this one make it to console.

The Punisher game did make it to the Genesis, although I still prefer the arcade version.

I can't remember its exact name(I was like 4 when I played it), but there was a game at an arcade I used to go to at some cabins my family rented when I was a childerkin, Street Smarts or something? It was sort of like Street Fighter, but you could play 2 vs. 2 matches and you walked around like in beat 'em ups(meaning you could go up and down too, but it was still 2D). My and my brother made it to the second last level on $3...and the guy we were fighting killed us both in three shots. D=

Willow- Capcom arcade was different from NES version. The Real Ghostbusters The Three Stoogers- arcade was different than computer and home console versions Star Wars Trilogy Arcade Battle Ballz Baby Pac-Man- it was different than any Pac-Man games. It was combinated pinball and video game.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker I was addicted to the Master System version. I always loved the isometric view on the arcade version.
