What 5 arcades (not pins) do you want in your magic spouse approved newly found space?

1. Class of 81 or Galaga with 60 in 1.
2. Dual Screen Play choice 10.
3. Outrun cabaret
4. Time Crises 2
5. 720

I’m not there yet, but am considering trading out some or most of my Arcade1ups for the real thing over time as deals arise. I’ve had MAMEs and multicades, but am gravitating toward the real thing. My Arcade1ups have been a way bigger hit with visitors than my pins, but it is still mostly me playing them. What 5 arcades would you like teleported into your basement?

Runners up for me would be San Francisco Rush, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Golden Tee, Virtual Cop 2, Paperboy, Tapper.

The multicades seem like cheating.

Off the top of my head:
Robotron (still most addicting game for me)
Star Wars
Point Blank
SF Rush 2049 SE - (linked if I can get this to count as 1) (open to other good racer's with meaningful gear shift and braking...just not familiar with all that is out there)
Punch Out

...well just read the other posts. Clearly I'm going to have a tough time finding a good dedicated Robotron. Thank goodness the mame is pretty good.

If the multicade 60/1 and playchoice 10 are cheating I guess I'd switch for Galaga and Goldentee

#37 1 year ago

I’ve been an arcade ( video game ) collector since long before I got into pinball so I don’t think I could ever get it down to just 5 games . That said , today , this hour , the 5 would be : Major Havoc , Robotron , Mr Do , Super Sprint , & Asteroids . But honestly, only 5 games is the fevered dreams of a mad man !

*edit : I think I could realistically get down to my top 30 . Maybe . Someday ….
