Best Arcade game ever...

[Reef]

I don't mean to beat down the "best of" threads with another, but...

My favorite is X-Men. The one where you could be wolverine, storm, colossus, dazzler, or nightcrawler and fought bosses like Blob, Pyro, and some wolf dude. Each character also had their own mutant powers you could use every so often. Pure awesomeness

[Men the Master]

Pong is King.

[Nepa]

I'll vote for Bubble Hockey.

Good call. It gets extra points for playing 1000x better as an arcade game vs. console.

the physics on the snes version were MASSIVELY different (mainly noticed in jump attacks/ground swings at jumpers). not to mention the absence of glitches to make the already dominant guile hilariously overpowered. anybody that bought the snes version and considered it the same as the arcade one without a joystick was high as a kite.

I agree. Street Fighter 2 !

only one mention of it in this thread... it desrves its on post...


NBA JAM

You guys just sick of it because it has been ported and replicated by every other sport? When this game first hit the arcades (yes with Shaq on the Magic) it was untouchable...Lines to play this game all over the place. Even if you hated basketball this game was popular.

One other arcade game that I am surprised has gotten no mention. Dance Dance Revolution. Surely poker players are not the type to do such activities (generally speaking those are different personality types. Those games absoultey skyrocketed in recent years.
