What are the top few games that you always play on your builds? Also, what are the top few games your guests play on your machine.
For me I play Space Ace, TMNT and Bucky O Hare (my kids make me play this with them)
My guests: Street Fighter 2, Terminator 2 w/Aimtraks of course and Alien Versus Predator

Galaga is reserved for my MAME cocktail. MAME is generally reserved for those, "Do you have this game?" requests.

Myself: Ikaruga (demul), Border Down (demul), Mortal Kombat 9 (PC), any random beat 'em up
(I still suck at the shmups, but enjoy them anyway. I play the first few levels which I'm decent at, then walk away when my ship go boom.)
Driving cab: Ridge Racer 2, Crazy Taxi (while drinking), Daytona USA
Main cab needs usb ports resoldered on the motherboard & driving cab is in pieces.
Nothing is working properly at them moment.

When I open up the game room to trick or treaters, the driving cabs get the most play from the kids, a MsPacman gets all the play from the adults. I leave the pinballs off and unplugged and tell everyone that they dont work.
Woah! That's a great idea! I've got my machines in the front room, I'll just block off the rest of the house and leave the front room open and let folks play games on Halloween!
Post by: Titchgamer on October 03, 2016, 03:51:18 pm
All my friends are over 40, so don't really give a crap about fighting games. They'd much rather play the single-player classics they grew up with.
You just need some young blood in ya posse lol
Great idea Malenko.
Halloween is no big deal over here tbh so I wouldn't bother.
Plus my dogs eat children as snacks lol

Any games my family\friends request is played for 5 seconds (10 seconds if the bootup takes an extra 5 seconds).
I think the reality is, they don't really want to play but instead want to engage you in conversation on your level. ;D

I find guests have just as much fun scrolling through the game wheel getting all nostalgic as they do playing games.This. Seeing the video clips of the games sparks conversation.."Oh wow I remember playing this", "Christ I remember that game being a pile of crap!".

I found myself doing that when I first installed all the video clips.
Going through them one by one.
Thinking yeah i remember that but had forgot what it was called!
And that looks good ile try that...
And of course... god thats ****!!

My "gameroom" is my garage, so I just open the garage door and lock the door that goes from the garage to the house. PBJ calls it my rape dungeon because the walls are unfinished. This is the first year of having pinballs at Halloween , and Im just erring on the side of caution. I havent learned enough (yet) to fix them if something serious gets broken.

Me: "What would you like to play?"
Them: "Do you have <Fill In Game That Evokes Strongest Childhood Memories for Them>?"
Me: "Sure, here ya go."
Them: "WOW AWESOME. HAVE YOU PLAYED THIS GAME? THIS GAME IS THE BEST! I REMEMBER WHEN..."
Me: "Be sure to put in a c.."
Them: "How do I get this to start"
Me: "Be sure to put in a coin and hit start"
Them: "Oh yea... Bleep Bloop"
Me: Exit scene right.
After that, they always usually play that one game for the first few times, then remember there were others.
So my answer, its always some game that someone wants to play that they have a fond memory of, whatever was in their local gas station or whatever.
