Post by: Well Fed Games on October 02, 2011, 08:14:57 pm: You see, people get weird about things like using the word "Arcade" (place where arcade games are found) and "Arcade Game" (arcade game... yes, I just used the word to define itself) incorrectly. Why this one particular nut-shot to the English language gets so much attention, I don't know. :dunno

Since I know what you meant, I would choose between Ms. Pac, Raiden II, and Robotron. But I won't choose.

Lol the ole purist arcade terminology. Wouldn't technically the title of this site be wrong? "Arcade controls?"Are those controls for the arcade or the video games? lol

Anyway, like fearsomefearful I can't choose jus one. Too hard. Especially a 90s kid like me who grew up playing tons of copycat shmups,beat em ups, fighters, and platformers during that era and loved every one of em. Its hard to take one pick!

What happened to the OP?

His dad drowned him in the bathtub for calling a game an arcade. The punishment was just.
