whats your favorite arcade game /v/
share some unique experiences you had at arcades
Still Time Crisis 3, god knows I've dropped way too many dollars on that game.
I recently had the pleasure of playing MvC2 at a barcade with some random asians and got a happy birthday using Iron Man, shit was pretty dope.
Metal Slug 2.

Inital D Arcade stage 3, theres something about the feel of it. It's easily my favorite racing game.
Once I played a Taiko no Tatsujin arcade machine at Japantown in San Francisco.
It got me to import the Vita game.

Pic related. You get a bunch of strangers together, and after like ten minutes, you're total bros.
I played Taiko Drum Master recently and that shit was cash af even though it gave me blisters on my fingers.

The only things from that list remaining are time crisis, house of the dead 4, ghost squad, and rambo. Everything else has been replaced with mobile game arcade cabinets. Almost as tragic as the death of my glorious local arcade, but thats something that needs its own post at this point. fucking rip
Is there a single working machine left? I miss it so much ;_;

The one near me actually has several imported Gundam Battle Pods.
AVP Arcade motherfuckers!

>Almost all the games are little more than mobile phone crap
I want to burn all these fucking phone app machines to the ground. I don't want to enter an arcade and find a huge fucking doodle jump game. Everyone can have it in their god damn pocket.
FUCKING STOP
