Best Arcade Games

[EMcWilliams]

I dont have the patience to make a poll, but Im curious as what arcade games OOT thinks were/are the best. I used to go to arcades when I was younger with my cousin and we were just talking about all the fun we used to have.

FYI, personal favorite is probably the X-Men game...spent a lot of my moms hard earned my in that machine.

I know someone who dropped 17 bucks on this game in one sitting. And I'm pretty sure each play was a quarter for this game.

I don't know if anything can beat the rave of Street Fighter II when it came out. With the culture of "Winner stays, loser pays," there would always be long lines for this game in the testosterone-filled arcades.

A valid point. SFII was a winner, but I always get a sense of pride whenever I see the X-Men cabinet knowing thatmy cousin and I dropped a shitload into the machine just so we could claim we beat it.

The question is, who is the best character is this game? I say Nightcrawler, and it's not even close. His jump+kick was the best and his mutant power is unmatched since it covers most of the screen.

Colossus all the way...and its not even close
