Now that you have access to almost any arcade game ever made I was just wondering what your favourite game that you play now but that you never played in an arcade is.
I have been getting endless fun from Berzerk and I never even saw it in any arcade let alone played it.

KILL THE HUMANOID! STOP THE INTRUDER

Berzerk is a great game.

Yes it is and i cant believe Apollo hadn't heard of it!

I can remember a Burger joint that had Bezerk and Tron side by side.

I never saw a Tron in New Zealand either!

For me, its Bosconian. I had never even heard of that game until I got the wireless Ms. pac Jakks tv game.

I admit it. I read Apollo's threads because it reminds me to read his recipes on his blog.

Most of them - I very rarely saw an arcade as a kid.

favorite I never played growing up: Marvel vs Capcom

favorite that I played but couldn't remember the name of w/o help
from the MAME community: Crater Raider

good "wow" moment: realizing how the MAME artwork makes
Space Invaders look just like I remember in the arcade

I played a lot of arcade games growing up, but I still managed to miss out on a lot. I really got into Satan's Hollow and Root Beer Tapper for a while.

Found an arcade some years back that had Krull. I didn't know that movie had a game based on it, but it's really a fun little game and one that seems to be left out of the dual-8-way discussions most of the time. I wish I'd gone by and gotten it when the arcade closed down and auctioned games off cheap. It was in excellent condition.

I don't know what my favorite game that I never played is......... because I never played it!

chadandjody · « **Reply #12 on:** July 24, 2007, 04:44:40 pm »

It's not exactly an old game but I had never seen it in an arcade, Giga Wings. There's just something about thousands of enemy bullets being on the screen at once and still being able to dodge them all that makes for fun gameplay.

Cheers to the people mentioning Bezerk, I love to play that game as well.

You played every single arcade game ever on location??

RayB · « **Reply #14 on:** July 24, 2007, 06:27:36 pm »

KLAX but I'm sure I'll move on soon. Honestly there are several that I like quite a bit. Metal Slug (whole series), Deriku Tenshi, Burger Time (well I probably played it on intellivision or something but I don't remember it in the arcade) Most of the games I can play now I never played in the arcade, and most of the games I did play in the arcade I can't play now since I don't have a steering wheel or light gun.

Wow, good question actually, when I think about it, although I had RayB's initial response. There must be more, but I think Last Blade 2 fits this bill for me.

We had two large arcades in town and a lot of games rotated through. However, there was this small magazine/newspaper shop that had a few vids and pins in the back and they were the only place that had a Neo Geo cabinet. It was a four slot, but it never had any great games until Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown You can still play one old Pinball machine, which has been Star Wars for a while, in this shop and get 5 balls for a quarter.

Actually, now that I think about it. Pang and Puzz Loop are two that I play a lot now and never saw in an actual arcade.

I'll have to go with Bosconian as well.

Never even saw it or played it in an arcade.

As for berzerk....evil otto is my hero!

Apollo · « **Reply #20 on:** July 29, 2007, 04:08:53 am »

Yeah Bosconian is great, I played it many many times in our local arcade. BLAST OFF!!

crashwg · « **Reply #21 on:** July 29, 2007, 05:21:15 am »

Never heard of Major Havoc until a couple years back. Got my repro controller now and hope to either have an original or a replica dedicated some day when I have the room.
