Your favorite arcade games?

My favorites were Sega's Top Skater, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, House of the Dead, Cruise'n World, Tokyo Wars, LA Machine Guns, and Daaaayyyyytttttooooooooonna!

well my absolute favourite would have to be Street Fighter Alpha 3 , my favourite 2D fighting game.

and to top it off, the Saturn version I own was the best at the time (its still the best in most ways) , even better then the Dreamcast version.

others include Dead or Alive and Dead Or Alive 2 , X-men vs Street Fighter , Die Hard Arcade, Manx TT Superbike, and others.

Not been the arcades for years but I loved Afterburner(Sit in cabinet),Chase HQ,Operation Wolf,M.A.C.H 3 (although it often got "laser disk read error!", Paperboy,Crossbow and outrun. theres too many to list that I put all my pocket money in! ;)

Yeah that Simpsons arcade game was so much fun with a couple of buddies. Also Terminator 2 Judgment Day, MK 2, Crusin U.S.A. and Carnevil are the rest of my favorites.

In no particular order:

• Cruis'n World
• Daytona USA
• Metal Slug
• Sega Rally
• Silent Scope
• The House of the Dead
• Virtua Cop 2

Oh man I've got a lot. I gravitated towards arcade games as a kid. And I grew up in the 80s and 90s, so I was at the perfect age to play the best ones. I mostly liked the beat-em ups. Here's a list of my favorites over the years.

• Altered Beast
• Area 51
• Final Fight
• Golden Axe
• Marvel vs. Capcom
• Metal Slug games
• The Punisher
• Raiden games
• Sengoku
• Space Harrier
• Spider-Man: The Arcade Game
• Star Wars Trilogy
• Super Street Fighter II
• Superman: The Arcade Game
• Time Crisis
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game
• X-Men: The Arcade Game

From those I played: Space Harrier, Outrun, Afterburner, (Super) Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat II, Killer Instinct, Virtua Fighter 2, Samurai Shodown 2, ect.

OutRun, SCUD Race (think it was called Sega Super GT in America?) Time Crisis II, Top Skater.

The Silent Scope series has got to be my favorite, closely followed by any Sega arcade racing game (eight player Daytona USA and Ferrari F355 Clallenge are my favorites). Other games I enjoy include Time Crisis 3 (4's calibration is god-awful and theothers are mediocre), the AfterBurner series and anything with a crazy peripheral at the center.

I despise anything by Midway, their games feel like complete ripoffs. Overly difficult and nothing to really differentiate itself from true games other than blood or licenses. Hydro Thunder and Rush 2049 were okay though.

not a bad list actually (well most of it). though I would have replaced the SF games with X-men vs Street Fighter, Marvel Vs Street Fighter , and Street Fighter Alpha 3.Darkman2007

Believe it or not, but I was not a fan of those games. Xmen(Marvel) vs Street Fighter just wasn't as balanced as the real deal. Where I grew up, there were kids that thought it was sacrilege to go the VS. route. I also always, even to this day, prefer the visuals of the regular Street Fighter. Unfortunately, Arcades started to die down when Street Fighter 3 landed, but lord is that game beautiful--can't wait for the hd remake. I will say that i've come to appreciate Alpha 3, thanks in part to my psp.

I'm sure I missed a few loved arcade games. ...now I'm trying to think.

Yeah, the Saturn port of HotD looks pretty bad, and it has some slowdown too. Also, the PAL and Japanese versions don't have red blood (only green) and the US version is somewhat rare. But it's still the best version aside from the arcade.

There are still some House of the Dead arcades around here, but most of them are badly calibrated.:x
