Also Mortal Kombat was way overrated... and I am a big 2D fighter fan. I just can't see why anyone ever played that game over SFII or Samurai Shodown...

...maybe the blood and violence?  ???

There was lot of excitement over this game, the digitized graphics, the sound fx/music and of course the blood and fatalities. At the time I did enjoy MK but I still knew that SFII had better game mechanics and depth. That said Mortal Kombat is still a classic.

Tritoch84:
Yes, thankfully, the buttonsmashing idiots went "BLOOD COOL OMG" and went to MK. When I say 2-D fighter, MK is that last thing that comes to mind.

It doesn't make MK anymore less of a classic for what it did.: Make shockwaves, get awesome publicity, and introduce new ideas to fighters.Controls where to "stiff" for me, never could get into it much.

DYNAGOD:
the most overated game, clearly ,especially when you read the mame.net forums has gotta be
Cruisin USA!!!
I swaer t god ill go to my death bed with that damn theme song stuck in my head (sings "Cruisinnnnnn), and all it was a rail driver.. it dint do anyting special or introduce any ground breaking game play elements..
i think  people just make a big deal about it cause its one of the only games thay cant have..if cruisin was included in MAMe p,perfectly emultaed from day one,almost no one would mention or play it..

Chris:
I don't like any of the fighting games.  If I must play one, I'll tolerate King of Fighters '98.

The Metal Slug seres bores me to tears.

Re: Space Invaders: I'm finding that the Atari 2600 version is more fun than the arcade version...

When I was a kid, I loved Starship I, Tail Gunner, SubRoc 3-D, and Star Fire. Without their special cabinets and controls, they're pretty boring.

I don't care for the shoot-em-ups where you end up with powerups that cause you to shoot fans or sheets of blasts with every button press.  If you can shoot more ammo at once than Xevious, I'm probably not interested.

I hear people raving about Ghosts N Goblins, but I can't see the fuss.

Crossbow and Cheyenne: Pretty boring without the rifle or crossbow.

Not fond of anything in the beat-em-ups genre.

The arcade TRON was 99% cabinet, 1% game.

Naw, a lot of it was theme, too. The problem is that the harder levels become a matter of praying, getting lucky or memorizing patterns.  There's no way to play the MCP Cone or Light Cycles intelligently after a few levels, although the grid bugs and the tanks are ONLY interesting at the higher levels.
