Lucky & Wild hands down.

I remember playing this for the first time at arcades and being blown away.

Runner-up: Smash TV

A bunch of the classics I guess.
I usually favor the ones with vidya characters I'm already familiar with.

So like Mega Man Power Battle was a fun one to play.

Atari Star Wars

Don't know why knights are riding on ostriches but I'll be damned if it's not entertaining as shit

Bride of Pin-bot (you bring her to life in stages and at stage 4 she orgasms- that would never be allowed today) or >>322994878, or Time Crisis 2

If you didn't play this when you were barely tall enough to reach the cabinet, I pity you.
Main was always pink Shuma cause I was a dumbass and always pressed the wrong button at the character select screen.

Had an absolute blast with my best mate playing this as a kid.

Sinistar

Robotron 2084
Smash TV is awesome, but Robotron is so much faster and more "raw".

>Joust
>Afterburner

The arcade closed down in my town after this, so I have no more favorites. :(

This thing was a total quarter muncher, but it was as addictive as hell.

It'd have to be Puzzle Bobble or Metal Slug.

Too many to list. All I can say is that I fucking love Sega games.

VIRTUAL ON

I hardly ever played arcade games at my local cinema theater because I rarely go see movies, they used to have ASver2 but they removed it since a few years ago otherwise a bit of DDR but I haven't played in years.

>tfw English
>tfw we have a bitching arcade in London

Right now? Pic related, and Terminator Salvation

>>322994776
The star wars arcade trilogy, metal slug and prehistoric island in 1939.

Virtual On. While I love me my fighting games and several racing/rhythm games, I really just fucking love Virtual On. Fast paced robot action with twin sticks is just so fun.

Right now it's a bit of a tie between Tekken 7 and Wangan though. And the occasional USF4 when there's people around.

>>322999301

I don't know what's worse. Seeing your favorite local arcade and your favorite game disappear all of a sudden, or staring in the face of an old arcade you used to frequent but that place is dilapidated as fuck and collecting all sorts of dust and rat shit.

The latter made me sad as fuck.

>>323005729

Shit, how's TC5? Any better than 4 (although I had fun with 3/4).

Me and a buddy were able to finally finish this when we found it at our local arcade. They're actually opening up a barcade just down the street from where I live, I'm so excited!

Maybe I've just gotten better at lightgun games over the years, but it seems really fucking easy. The switching between two covers is more of a hassle than cool, and instead of shooting in cover to switch weapons, there's a tiny-ass button on the side of the gun.

>>322994776
My favorite had to be between "Bust A Move" and "King of the Monsters 2". I can't really choose one of the other. I loved them both.

>>323007776

Sounds all right I guess. I'll give it a shot when it's not relatively crowded and when I have my buddy around. We used to play the fuck out of Time Crisis (and House of the Dead, another GOAT. Even just for the dialogue).

Sunset Riders

Good question. I think Sunset Riders, Bust a Move and The Simpsons beat 'em up.
