What game is it that you keep finding yourself going back to? When you sit down at your cab and boot it up, what game do you always play?

For me it's Tetris: The Grand Master 2

Thats a tricky one!

For me it would have to be Galaga, almost every session includes at least 1 game

SammyWI · « **Reply #2 on:** September 06, 2010, 02:08:23 pm »

Asteroids. Just a classic with great gameplay.

Burger Time.

It's a pretty simple game, and the graphics are crap, but every time I boot up Mame, I end up playing at least a few games of Targ (or it's more sophisticated offspring, Spectar).

maddags · « **Reply #5 on:** September 06, 2010, 03:26:02 pm »

Mine, has to be Arkanoid for sure.

Gorotsuki · « **Reply #6 on:** September 06, 2010, 03:28:35 pm »

For me,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Never played those before, very cool games like an earlier rally-x type. Added to my favourites cheers!

I usually bring up Galaga before anything else.

That's why I love threads like these. I always come across a mention of something I've never seen before!

There is something about Bubble Bobble that just makes me come back again and again....

Thenasty · « **Reply #14 on:** September 06, 2010, 10:36:55 pm »

Asteroids (with buttons of course)

releasedtruth · « **Reply #15 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:33:33 am »

Caveman Ninjas.... well, maybe not, but I do have a penchant for NBA Jam

SlayerAlex · « **Reply #16 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:08:34 am »

AgentX · « **Reply #17 on:** September 07, 2010, 04:00:32 am »

Puzzle Bobble. I get to play with my kid.

Raitsa · « **Reply #18 on:** September 07, 2010, 04:21:18 am »

Up 'N Down is a very challenging game and i used to play it a lot in the arcade as a teenager.

Jack Burton · « **Reply #19 on:** September 07, 2010, 06:57:11 am »

Final Fight.

I always try to get just a little bit further on one credit each time, but I still don't think I've ever made it past the 2nd level!

jtslade · « **Reply #20 on:** September 07, 2010, 09:52:16 am »

When I first built the cab it was galaga that got the most play but now I play asteroids deluxe or armor attack.

One thing ever since setting up Another Arcade Emulator on the cab I haven't played them in mame since. It's such a big difference.

JohnEDollar · « **Reply #21 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:00:49 am »

Berzerk, and Frenzy.

gryhnd · « **Reply #22 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:06:09 am »

Robotron.

Popeye.

severdhed · « **Reply #24 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:40:54 am »

Millipede

DashRendar · « **Reply #25 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:42:07 am »

Gauntlet II.

Honorable mentions would also include Mr. Do, Tron, Super Toffy, Joust, Marvel vs Capcom, and Dig Dug.

Puzzle Bobble for me, my fiance is the champ and one day, I'll beat her... at this game.

Others are The Outfoxies, and usually some fighter - I love them all.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #27 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:15:59 pm »

Usually I play at least one round of Ms Pac-man, Donkey Kong, Frogger, or Galaga when my cab is fired up.

Outfoxies is awesome. It's getting into my rotation more and more.

Epyx · « **Reply #28 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:32:27 pm »

So many favourites. For me it is more "which genre" do I play at least once each boot up and that would have to be Shmups

Sometimes it's Xevious...sometimes R-Type or Truxton but usually always at least one Shmup even if the main reason to boot up happened to be for a platformer (Black Tiger etc)

Mikezilla · « **Reply #29 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:40:29 pm »

Robocop. Altered Beast. Marvel Super Heroes. Top it off with some Turtles in Time.

IG-88 · « **Reply #30 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:49:28 pm »

Black Tiger with Kid Niki running a close second.

DCsegaDH · « **Reply #31 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:10:06 pm »

Street Fighter II: Champion's Edition. I grew up in the 90's so I like a lot of fighters. Burgertime, Donkey Kong, and Ms. Pac man are also played a lot.

Smeghead · « **Reply #32 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:30:10 pm »

Even though im more ol'school than most of you probably, mines Golfing Greats lol

I could probably never pass a real Donkey Kong or Frogger without playing it tho

And im one of those rare people who ADORE 'Space Ace' that will always have a special place in my heart and memories

nipsmg · « **Reply #33 on:** September 07, 2010, 07:23:54 pm »

Timber, Shuuz, or The Glob.

DillonFoulds · « **Reply #34 on:** September 07, 2010, 08:43:50 pm »

Actually, i've been chatting with a guy outside of these boards a bit about mame (he's hoping to build a cab of his own soon!), and he's mentioned how much he used to enjoy timber. I should fire it up and check it out...

Personally, Track and Field ALWAYS gets play time, regardless of who's over we always have to try and set a record on some event.

andrewbean90 · « **Reply #35 on:** September 07, 2010, 09:08:40 pm »

Yesssss, that is what it looks like, but I'm too stupid for that game

Not my favourite game, but always worth a try: Volfied.

Not in the arcade, but for the Apple II. Wow, I was addicted to that game back in the day. Atleast I think it was Apple II.

wxforecaster · « **Reply #38 on:** September 07, 2010, 10:45:09 pm »

It was Q*Bert until I realized Level 9 just repeats over and over and over again

I second Up and Down as well as Burgertime!

WhereEaglesDare · « **Reply #39 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:00:29 pm »

youve made it to level 9???

I use to have it on the NES and never could get past level 4
