For me I think the BEST "Arcade" game is Star Wars Trilogy arcade game in full stereo cabinet setup

paigeoliver · « **Reply #1 on:** December 20, 2004, 01:07:58 am »

Trilogy gets old. I can beat it on one credit every time now, half the time I don't even take any damage (unless the game decides I get to take a hit during the vader tie fighter confrontation).

I would want a 51" "Pump it Up". I don't really care which version.

A full blown D.A.R.T. system.
It's a bowhunting simulator that you use your real bow to shoot into a kevlar backdrop, that shows video, and tracks the hits based on the time/location that your arrow hits the backdrop.

L.A. Machine Guns

Or Terminator 2, but I'd just need to hack the T2 guns I have in the garage

A cool game I played recently was Ninja Assault, a 2-player light-gun-type shooter.

There's just something magical about ninjas with guns.

8 player Daytona?

Pump It Up seconded (I always meant to build one and run Stepmania in the cab. Maybe one day, eh?)

Why can't you have that? That is a very acheivable goal.

Well I have personally achieved metal slug 5. astrocity style with the stool and all! oh yeah!

okay, I tell a lie, I dont have the stool (honestly, I don't, but the rest is there!)

As for wants, full support of Tekken Tag. Would save me the swapping my harness from the JPAC to my TTT PCB...... with any luck that day will come soon.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #11 on:** December 20, 2004, 07:53:47 am »

Yeah, I don't see why that would be so out there. I have a Candy Neo Geo, all I would need is the Metal Slug 4 cart.

Those candy cabs are light, compact, and aren;t THAT expensive. They are good buys actually. As they tend to be newer and in MUCH better condition than US cabs with the same size screens.

I like "Police 911". That game has motion sensors which can detect when you are crouching, ducking, or dodging. It takes up way too much space to ever have in my game room.

The same goes for DDRxxx.

ChadTower · « **Reply #13 on:** December 20, 2004, 08:54:52 am »

Star Wars cockpit with 27" screen.

ErikRuud · « **Reply #14 on:** December 20, 2004, 10:02:21 am »

As I alway reply to these threads, I would want a full 8 pod Tesla II or Tesla III system! A Tesla 4 would also be acceptable, but I think I like all the buttons and digitla led readouts in the older pods. The Tesla 4's have several multi function isplays instead.

Even though I was a big fan of the Amiga, I don't want the original Amiga based pods.

This is actaully an attainable goal, but it would require a lottery jackpot or long lost rich uncle at this point.

I think they would all fit in my basement, but then my wife would get half of them in the divorce that would follow if I did it with out the jackpot or uncle.

Showcase version of House Of The Dead II. Love that game.
I'm stuck with a MAME cab because it's all I can afford and have space for.

yeah, linked daytona would be cool. did it go up to 8 players? wow!

something else i thing would be cool would be prop cycle. and not that impossible i suppose. would be great becaue i just bought a little gym set. what a great way to warm up (",)

ChadTower · « **Reply #17 on:** December 20, 2004, 10:21:29 am »

Wow, I would also really like a Prop Cycle.

jimmyjet · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2004, 10:32:35 am »

I really want Satan's Hollow. Wife won't go for it due to the satanic theme. I told her the goal is to defeat the evil dude, but she says no. She lets me keep 10+ other games, so I let her win this battle.
I can also never have a playboy pinball.

Mmm, control issues...

RayB · « **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2004, 10:51:15 am »

A Juno First machine!

It's unattainable because the machines are RARE! I found a converted cab, but the nut selling it is asking way too much for it, and shipping would add too much too. Then finding a board is equally difficult.

I want a skee ball lane....

13 feet long takes up quite a bit of space!

javeryh · « **Reply #23 on:** December 20, 2004, 11:48:59 am »

I'd like a DDR set up but that's nopt happening. Something attainable when I have the space I guess would be a professional shuffleboard table...

Man, I would kick her --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- out the door! No woman going to tell me I can't have a game...or playboy!! LOL

Mine would probably be an original, in super mint condition Donkey Kong. Yeah, I know DK is easy to find but a mint condition one with everything working and no burn in is a little expenisve (well, considering I am poor...lol)

clanggedin · « **Reply #25 on:** December 20, 2004, 12:11:35 pm »

Holographic Time Traveler is the ultimate game for me. I know it is insanely hard, but it's one of the coolest games ever

walls83 · « **Reply #26 on:** December 20, 2004, 12:32:54 pm »

The full blown Golf simulator.

The one that cost 40 grand

Wyluli · « **Reply #27 on:** December 20, 2004, 12:46:50 pm »

Well, there are too many to choose from. I always wanted a huge basement so I could have a room full of arcade games and a pool table. We moved to Florida, land of no basements, so there went that idea lol.
One game I would like to have is Demolition Derby. Sure, it's repetitive, but very addictive. Having one of the original 4 player machines with the steering wheels would be great. I have not seen one of these in years.

A dedicated Gyruss machine. Sounds attainable, but they never made it to Australia (we only got kits) and the shipping is prohibitive.

Minwah · « **Reply #33 on:** December 20, 2004, 04:18:21 pm »

An R360 would be pretty cool

I would probably most like the moving sit-down OutRun...

Of course I don't have room for either

Wyluli · « **Reply #34 on:** December 20, 2004, 05:08:16 pm »

Oh yeah, and Spyhunter would be nice. I remember playing that one a lot!!!

I have always wanted the Hercules pinball game. It is freakin humongous, if you havent seen it, youve missed out. The ball inside is like a bowling ball(yes im exaggerating) but it is one awesome pinball machine.

Michael Jackson's moonwalker, although i dont think any exist anymore. Atleast I have it in mame I guess.
