Well Fed Games:
So, if you could have any three dedicated arcade games, as they were right off the assembly line, and they were the only three you could own, what would they be? Here's the parameters: aftermarket multi-boards and jamma switchers are out [edit- scratch that- I guess if this is a fantasy list there shouldn't be that limitation- I was thinking more in the spirit of unmodified, factory-made games- but it is all good!]; for Neo Geo and Playchoice, list what games would be permanently installed in there; linked racing/flying cabs count as one choice. Price, rarity, space, maintenance, and your current cabs don't factor in- dream big! Add in a couple runners up if you just can't narrow it down.

Mine:

1. Warlords Cocktail- http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=1348&image=1

2. Outrun 2SPsdx- 4 player linked driving cab. http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=5331&image=1 Pretty sure this one costs more than a house.

3. Pac Man 25th Anniversary upright (Pac, Ms., and Galaga) http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=5833&image=1

Runners up:

4. Robotron 2084 upright- http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=2428&image=2

5. Crazy Taxi sitdown- http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=5047&image=2

man, narrowing it down is tough!  ;D

CheffoJeffo:
Can I get a clarification on "aftermarket multiboards" ? Would you include something like the MultiExidy440, which uses the original boards ? I guess not since your #3 is a multiboard.

My top 3 are pretty easy, depending on that definition of a multiboard, and I own all 3.

- Exidy 440 Collex'n

- Williams Multigame (in a Robotron cab with 4" Wicos)

- Galaga

If I had to have the multis above run a single game, I guess I would choose Crossbow and Robotron, but since I don't have to ...  ;D

emphatic:
1. Rygar - I realize this is a conversion kit only, but it's my favourite arcade game
2. Ketsui - I realize this is a conversion kit only, but it's my second favourite arcade game
3. Battle Garegga - I realize this is a conversion kit only, but it's my third favourite arcade game

I've always preferred generic cabinets, but it would be cool to build/design dedicated cabinets for these games.

Great game and should probably be on my "Runner-Up" list. Sees a lot of play in my house.
