I decided on having a grand total of six games. 4 of my keepers I already have (Berzerk, Crystal Castles, Mame, and a Victory Pinball), the 5th (Roadblasters cockpit), I am working on getting right now. But I am having trouble deciding on the last one
-
Galaga dude , ALL THE WAY!
Everyone LOVES galaga it seems. Even my SISTER for crying out loud! lol
-
If you can get a Namco Classics cab, that would be pretty cool. I think it has all the original games and versions of each with updated graphics to boot..
Galaga is probably tied.. but you can't fight 3 (or 6, sort of) games in one.
-
If I did Namco Classics I would probably go with Namco Classics in a Pac Man cabinet, since the Classics boardsets seem to be a lot more available than the full machines.
-
Q-bert since its a harder one to play properly in Mame.
#2 would be Galaga. What a great game.
-
I use the Ultimarc J-sticks. I leave player 2 on 8 way most of the time. It works PERFECTLY for Q*bert and Congo Bongo. The corners are in the diagonals. It took 30 seconds to set up the controls and both games have worked perfectly ever since.

As indicated in the poll...Robotron. Not only is it a great game, but an even better investment (most sought after game for collectors). Now the only problem is keeping from beating the hell out of it because I play it so much. My robotron has taken a LOT of abuse over the years, including getting the control panel kicked in by one of my friends during a heated compitition at work.

GALAGA! Q*Bert as a second choice.
-
I cast my vote for galaga, but was quite torn between galaga and robotron....

I'd ditch Victory Pinball and get both Robotron and Galaga. But that's just me. ;D
-
I don't think there is any way I would ditch that pinball. It is in better shape than 90 percent of the pins I play on location, and EVERYONE loves it.

Even Eugene Jarvis - the creator of Robotron - talked about slamming the cabinet into the wall while playing. That game that drives us all to madness I tell you!
-
Robotron plays great in MAME, though. The opportunity here is to get a game that doesn't play well in MAME, or where the cabinet adds so much to the game it's not the same without it.
In that category, I put (presuming you're staying with classics):
- Tron
- Spy Hunter
- Starship 1
- Lunar Lander
- Subroc 3D
- Battlezone
- Pole Position
- Atari Football
Or, if you can find it:
- Death Race
Of course, none of these are on your list...

I amost got a Subroc a while back, but I changed my mind on the deal because they are supposed to be a maintenance nightmare.
I won't touch amy vectors, and Atari Football takes up too much space. I already opted on Roadblasters over Spyhunter and Pole. I have no memorys of paying Tron, so that isn't too interesting to me.
That does leave Starship I on the list. =)
