Has anyone been to arcades recently? It's all driving and dancing games and the driving games are AWFUL. Like SNES-like graphics, it's horrific.
Now when I go to arcades, I usually only play Virtual Tennis or Guitar Hero. They are the only games I enjoy.

What was really stellar was that there were like 8 seats all lined up next to each other, so you typically played with several human opponents. The presentation at the arcade I went to was exceptional as well, they had camoflauged netting and a military helmet on top of an ammo crate sitting next to the Tokyo War games.

My coworkers did a happy hour there a while back, but I had to miss it. Bastards.

The Williams games Robotron 2084, Defender, Joust... Robotron would be my favorite. I am very fortunate to live near Funspot.

Blasphemy. That level is what R-Type is made for, since working it correctly relies on carefully using the shield orb for both defense and offense, flinging it into the soft parts of the ship and yanking it back to wipe out the banks of guns.
You also have to do some tricky front-to-back switches when you're rounding the ship to go back across the bottom.
(no I don't know why I remember this. Level 4 was usually the end of me, but I believe I saw level 5 a few times.)

I'm especially fond of those Konami beat-em-ups, like the Ninja Turtles game and the Simpsons port. I remember that Simpsons version especially out our local pizza place, because it was right around the time the show debuted. I wasn't allowed to watch the show, but I would play that game. Oh yes I would.
When I was a teen living overseas one local place had a Time Crisis cabinet, and that game probably wins for the one that took the most money from me. My friends and I would just keep throwing tokens into that. Terrific game.
