#57 1 year ago

I’ve got Q*Bert, Donkey Kong Jr., Super Pac-Man (with a multiboard), and Mario Bros. (with a multi). Since the Multis have most of my favs, what would I pick for my 5th? Maybe a 4p Konami like TMNT or a 6 button 2p fighter cab for Capcom fighters.

1-Ice Cold Beer
2-GALAGA 88
3-Robotron
4-Dual Daytona’s

I am assuming no JROK multi Williams Like my Stargate that lets me play Defender or Stargate with original CP or multi-Williams panel for those plus Robotron and Joust.

So Id pick

Defender
Robotron
Ivan Stewart's Super Offroad
Star Wars Cockpit
Golden Tee (always packed at the pinball parties I have been to)

#60 1 year ago

1. Robotron 2084
2. Time Crisis 5

Maybe switch out buster for Chiller?

#67 1 year ago

joust, mario bros original, dragons lair, track and field, pole position

#68 1 year ago

Would be interesting to have a poll on this as it looks like Robotron is on many lists.
I have 2 multi-cades (due to space restrictions) and Robotron is the game which my younger son & I play the most.
However, when friends visit, Galaga is def very popular.
I would love to have a row of originals.
Great topic.

#69 1 year ago

Defender (have)
Robotron: 2084
Scramble
Qix
Tempest

#70 1 year ago

1. Robotron (seems like a popular choice in this thread, but it's popular for a reason!)
2. Discs of Tron environmental
3. Mario Bros.
4. Star Wars (this implies I have some sort of magical colour vector monitor that will never die or need maintenance)
5. Road Blasters

Alternatively, I've often dreamed of a multi-player setup of one of the late-'90s FPS games (War: Final Assault/The Grid). You never see them out in wild anywhere; I'd love the chance to at least play them some time. Outtrigger as well.

#71 1 year ago

Neo * Geo MVS6
Pac Man Arcade Party
Reactor
Columns (U.S. version)
Mr. Driller

But If If had room, a Virtua Racing DLX sit down with the wide screen CRT.

Quoted from Zartan:

1. Paperboy
2. Qbert
3. Toobin
4. Millipede(I own a cocktail)
5. Pole position (I own)
I didn’t add Baby Pac-Man I don’t know if it counts?!

NBA Jam
MK1 or 2
Neo Geo kinda cheats the count so I'll say Metal Slug
Dual Crusin USA
T2

#77 1 year ago
Quoted from herbertbsharp:

NBA Jam
...Neo Geo kinda cheats the count so I'll say Metal Slug...

So just get an MVS-1 and only use authentic Neo Geo cartridges.

#78 1 year ago
Quoted from Haymaker:

Empty driving cab with a driving game mame in it
Capcom big blue cabinet where I could swap in all the CPS series games
Neo geo 1 slot with multi cart
Empty vertical monitor cabinet running mame
Empty horizontal monitor cabinet running mame with light gun hook up
Lol I know, I'm a real arcade scumbag

This is how I would do it. With arcade games, assuming you have proper controls, with emulation it’s the same. Why not have them all?

#79 1 year ago

The four I own:
Robotron 2084
Golden Tee (wl Arcade Collection switcher)
Big Buck Reloaded
Ice Cold Beer

My 5th is a home-made MAME with interchangeable control panels (720, Tron, 4 player Konami/Jam/Blitz, OEM Super Off Road steering wheels/pedals, SNK rotary sticks, trackball/spinner, Mortal Kombat layout, Star Wars yoke, light guns, etc).

But if forced to choose a dedicated #5, would likely go with a sit-down driver like classic Outrun (full motion of course).

#80 1 year ago

I have an
1-Atari standup starwars with empire strikes back kit
2- dkjr standup with the Dk switch kit
3- tempest cocktail

Wizard Of Wor

Cheating piece of crap that is a blast to play. When you fire you only have that one bullet until it hits something. You don't know if the bullet will go out your gun, back, feet, or head. If you do get a shot off, no guarantee it will actually kill anything.

If you run out the tunnel, you may not come back on the other side, you might appear anywhere, look around fast before the monsters find you.

You can shoot across the field and run out the side and appear coming in on the other side, and shoot yourself.

The invisible boards without walls, pop up and it's like ringing the dinner bell, every critter runs towards you.

I had a better monitor in mine, came from a sit down Mach 3. You could see the monsters eyes and see the spitting.

#88 1 year ago

720(I've owned a few of these, I'd take another )
Tempest(Currently have a cocktail cabinet, mostly need a Wells 6100 monitor for it)
Space Dual(Currently have a cocktail, just need to get it running)
Top Skater
Crystal Castles(I've owned a few of these, I'd take another but an upright this time)

All of this said, I have no room for any of them right now. I'm probably going to have to take Space Dual to my office or just sell it

#89 1 year ago

1) Bubble Bobble (my first video game I ever played, totally a nostalgia pick)
2) Paperboy (game is still hilariously awesome)
3) Crazy Taxi (so good!)
4) Does DDR count? Because if that's the case.... any one of those. I was in the best shape of my life when I was obsessed with DDR.
5) XMEN 6 PLAYER.... probably the most fun you can have with a group of 6 friends. Just absolutle chaos.

Metal Slug
SF Rush
Robotron
Galaga
Frogger

Glad to see all the love for Robotron. I thought I was alone loving to play it so much. Black Widow is fun too but basically a copy.
This mix works across generations in our family. If my kids didn’t play i would swap in Tempest for Frogger.

Man I hated leaving Gyruss of my list... a perfect game.

#97 1 year ago

The simple answer is to just get a multicade. If you are referring to dedicated cabs, here are my choices:

Galaga, Pac-Man, super Mario 3, mortal Kombat II, ice cold beer
