Now that you mention it, I used to always rush the Xevious machine. I love that game. I don't usually like that style. The bombs were really fun. pewpewpew

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.

I was never much of an arcade gamer, however, there was this one special game which we played the shit out of. It was called Tokyo Wars and you basically controlled a tank in 3rd person and it was this large team based city fight where drove through the streets of Tokyo and shot the shit out of the other team.

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.

I might have to hit this place later on this week.

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

OP: All great games, Star Wars is best sitdown w/ the fresnel lens.

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.)

Arcades were just starting to circle the drain when I was old enough to remember them, and I never was the kid who had a ton of money to spend on games that wasn't already tied up in other purchases. As a result most of my fondest memories of arcade games aren't based around actual arcades, but around those games you used to find in Pizza Hut and places like that.

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.
