R-Type has been consuming all my virtual quarters lately. I think I have spent about $2,300,450.75 now

Where's mahjong titles on everyone's lists?

RacerX · « **Reply #11 on:** June 27, 2003, 02:18:01 pm »

1. Mappy (whimsical and fun. great music.)
2. Robotron (needs no explanation)
3. Astro Blaster (Fighter pilots needed in sector wars!)
4. Joust (needs no explanation)
5. Carnival (simple, yet addictive)

(And my best friend's favorite game is Seicross.

)

Molloy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 27, 2003, 02:20:29 pm »

1. Robotron
2. Bomb Jack
3. Vandyke
4. Shinobi
5. Twin Hawk

If I had a faster PC and broadband there would be more modern games in there like Garou: Mark of Wolves and Mars Matrix in there. In the mean time my Dreamcast suffices.

zorg · « **Reply #13 on:** June 27, 2003, 02:48:46 pm »

as the classics are yet given I just want to focus on 2 games

qix: I spend so much money in this one, If I have ONE game to get on a desert island I'll chose this one

puzloop: I just discover using random playing

Stormdemon · « **Reply #14 on:** June 27, 2003, 02:57:22 pm »

If I had to chose one and only one I'd go for Blacktiger. Once I had a terrible nightmare: Capcom makes a remake of this videogame in 3D and releases it in Playstation 2, also with some elements of adventure and rpg. o_O Could it be worse? I doubt it.

Lilwolf · « **Reply #15 on:** June 27, 2003, 02:58:50 pm »

Think Zen games

1) Robotron
2) Timepilot

Games that you can do better if you zone out and let the force take you... really! Try thinking in robotron instead of just letting it happen!

Games with the kids...

3) 19xx

Games for when the kids go to sleep

4) I hate to say it... I like those adult quix games. They add some new strats to old quix. I can't play the original anymore.

Then I like a SF game here and there... but thats been in zinc recently

Just out of curosity, does anybody even play the Mahjong games?? There's so many of those dang games, but I never even play them myself. But hey if I got rid of them, I wouldn't have a complete set! hahaha

Oh yeah lately my favorites have been....

Defender, pop and something(Ballon game), Mario Bros, Area51 with a trackball!

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (2 players is AMAZING!)

Of all of these I've definitely logged the most hours into Puzzle Fighter. By far the best puzzle game ever invented. The stategy involved in winning a 2-player game is so much deeper than every other puzzle game I've played. Wow.

excellent thread

favorite fighter: garou mark of the wolves
runners up: marvel vs capcom, sfa3, umk3 (the mk series in general is sorely underrated; MK and MK2 have extremely subtle and difficult juggle-based combo systems)

favorite shooter: guwange
runners up: dodonpachi, esp ra.de, giga wing, 19XX

favorite classic: ms. pacman (of course!

)
runners up: burger time, centipede, q*bert

favorite beat-em-up: final fight (of course!)
runners up: x-men, alien vs predator, undercover cops (little do most people know, made by the same team that later on developed metal slug - has the same 16bit graphics style as metal slug), tmnt, simpsons

favorite side-scroller: metal slug x
runners up: metal slug, metal slug 3, (and to a slightly lesser extent) metal slug 4, metal slug 2

other favorites not listed: shock troopers, neo driftout, ironman super offroad ... i'm probably forgetting a few important ones.

also shock troopers 1 and 2 are really good...

Richy · « **Reply #26 on:** June 28, 2003, 06:00:04 am »

Super Puzzle Fighter- I agree with Pyronious, this needs more strategy than any other puzzle game i've seen. That's why it's so great.
Marble Madness- Though i've only ever got to the last level once.
Galaga- Can't be beat for addictivness.
Reactor- Only found this recently. Really good trackball game.

And yes the adult qix style games. They're surprisingly fun. Even the ones with not much nudity.

Justin · « **Reply #27 on:** June 28, 2003, 09:31:01 am »

In PARTICULAR order!!

1) Robotron ... because its addicting and hard.
2) Stargate ... because it's hard and hard.
3) BombJack ... because it's addicting and addicting.
4) TimePilot ... simple concept, great game
5) Marble Madness

Wow... so someone from your generation actually finds classic games entertaining?! I thought that with the PS2 and XBOX being the norm nowadays, classic games would seem like a joke to the younger generations.

I guess there is still hope, and that I will be able to enjoy some time with my (yet to be born) child. LOL!

IIOIOOIOO · « **Reply #31 on:** June 29, 2003, 11:14:08 am »

That's the best thing about being relatively young (22 here.) I can get MAME to play some of the older stuff that's particularly fun (most of the classics, except for the EXTREMELY boring pattern-games like Pac-Man.) Then, when I buy actual standups for games that I played when I was a little kid, they're all worthless. It's nice to have all of your favorite games be sitting in that sweet spot between being a classic and being an earner. I bought a cabal recently at auction, and not a single person cared to bid against me!

That's where you're wrong my friend

I myself am only 17, and i'm building a Mame cabinet just to play all those classics

Whilst my arcade experiences have been very little (only later on in the piece.) I still love the classics, and waste away lots of money in them, regardless of age.

I just about love any game, from Pacman to the latest Street Fighter incarnation... and I am one of the "modern gamers" with a Xbox and a beefy PC.

Yeah, I am 25 and my childhood favorites are also mostly worthless. I have bought quite a few of them, but eventually sold them all. Conversion games just don't have the WOW factor that dedicated games do. Like for example I kept my Kangaroo machine, and sold multipe Final Fights, Streetfighter 2s, and other beat em ups because my Kangaroo machine looks like it just came out of the box, while fun conversion stuff like Street Fighter and final fight are usually pretty beat down. Even my nicest conversion game ever (A Street Fighter 2 Champion edition in a Centipede cabinet), still got on my nerves.

Even my Mame machines are kept as stock as possible (and two of them are dedicated cabinets, albeit for very obscure titles that no one wants, Amazing Maze and King & Balloon).

Would be interesting to have a pole for BYOAC's age ranges...just for fun. I just turned 20 myself. I grew up with a Nintendo (NES) and loved the megaman series, mario series, battles toads, ninja gaiden series, bubble bobble (I played this one to death), and the original zelda...Purhaps my love for arcade games came from playing these 8-bit games. I love the classics just as much as my Gamecube titles...probably more so. Just something about them appeals to me.

For the best (and worst) games in MAME, check this out:
http://www.mameworld.net/c0pil0t/
They even have Mame32 Folders for downoad that organize those favorites.

My top games in no particular order:
-Marvel vs. Capcom (My fav fighter...spidy and megaman all the way)
-Mr. Do! (this is one of my favorites of all time now...funny, I only learned of its existance about 1-2 years ago from eightbit)
-Pac-man (what can I say, probably the first arcade game I ever heard of)
-Tempest (After recently playing this game on a dedicated machine for the first time, I really want a great spinner...I have an Arkanoid currently)
-Quantum (if you haven't tried this game, I highly suggest it..simple trackball game, but very addicting and fun)
-Cameltry (another great trackball game, a ball goes through a maze, but you move the background)
-Police trainer (Put that act labs gun to work)
-Time Pilot (GREAT game...a must play)
-Bubbles (unique concept...who knew cleaning a sink would be so much fun?!)
-Discs of Tron (Great control setup)
-Time Pilot '84 (I LOVE this game. Only game I actually owned besides the WWF Wrestfest board from my cab...)

I know I'm forgetting something I really like, but that's a big enough list for now!

Gradius, wanting to play it arcade perfect at home is how I discovered the wonderful world of Mame in the first place.

My other favs are: Shinobi, Rygar, Black Tiger, Marvel Vs Capcom, Karate champ, 19** games......too many to list

When the new CP gets built DOT, tempest and marble madness will be getting a good going over!
