Damn close games.  Especially the 1st round which was a draw.  Awesome stuff Shaggy.  And thanks for destroying my win streak :<

Amusing chat

Hi guys,

I want to start a thread of everyone's favorite classic arcade games.  For those who remember the arcade scene, it was the only place to go to play the best games around because consoles at the time were far inferior.  The atmosphere used to be incredible on a busy saturday down my local arcade.  Nowadays it's just full of fruit machines.  

So through the normal legal channels I acquired 25gb of arcade games.  What a download I tell ya.  It's pretty much every arcade game ever made.  Just under 8,500 games.  Mortal Komat series, Tekken, Pacman, Street Fighter, Shinobi, Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Chase HQ.  You name it and I've got it (unless you say Killer Instinct).  This really is heaven I tell you and I don't know where to start

I got a pad coming to make the best of this insanely cool shit.  Classic style one like I had on my snes.  Keyboard isn't ideal for Street Fighter 2.

These run through the arcade emulator mame which a lot of you will know about.

So what are everyone's favorite arcade games?  Be good to play some new ones I haven't played, so recommendations welcome.  I'd also be interested to hear about any arcade memories people have.

Here's some arcade memories of mine.  

When WWF Wrestlefest first came out I remember having to queue up in my local arcade just to get a go at it.  This was 1991 so I was 11.  It was an awesome 4 player cabinet allowing 4 players to play in the Royal Rumble separately or co-op in tag teams.  By the time that game ended it's rounds in arcades I was a master and could win it every time with a single credit.  I hail Wrestlefest as the 2nd best arcade game ever.  It was simply awesome.  I can still play that and have as much fun today as I used to in my local arcade.

Mortal Kombat was another classic.  No one had seen a beat em up quite like that game, with it's digitised characters and fatality moves.  The impact that game had in arcades was immense.  Mortal Kombat 2 was another.  I had to travel to a different town to get my hands on that one when it first came out and the anticipation was like nothing else.  I had mileena's fatality written on my hand and when I pulled it off I almost pissed my pants with excitement.

Let's talk arcades!

Sexy down pump first turn.  If I do say so myself

Very tough.  I can barely finish it :<

Do you want a TTRR League?
