I know 'favorite video game' threads are a bit redundant, but I just rebuilt my small MAME library which I forgot to backup. I wanted to see if I'm forgetting any games or passed some classics up back then. I'm particularly asking for 90's games because those were my arcade-going days I'm not too fond of the really old games like Frogger or something like that. But if anyone has some must-have 80's games then I'm all ears. I'm also up for this decade's games, but obviously things changed and the arcade died out. Here's a list of games I've got so far, I'm obviously a fighting game junkie: Dungeons & Dragons Shadow Over Mystara Final Fight Garou GI Joe (seemed obscure back then, but really fun) Killer Instinct 1 & 2 King of Fighters 98, 2002 Macross Marvel vs Capcom and every variant involving the Marvel license Metal Slug series MJ's Moonwalker Mortal Kombat II Ms. Pac-Man Rastan Samurai Shodown series SF2 series Terminator 2 The Simpsons WWE Wrestlefest (the Ultimate Warrior days) X-Men (side scroller) And BTW, I just found out Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is playable on MAME. Incredible.
I still play these games! Hey was Daytona USA a 90s arcade game? people still play that game today at Dave N Busters.
All I remember was wasting lots and lots of 25 halalas on some Tank arcade game. Good times. EDIT: And TMNT!
Side-scrolling fighter junkie and no TMNT?!!!! Let's see, Stuff you didnt list... Early arcade games that I remember (either late 80s or early 90s): TMNT Golden Axe Superman Gauntlet NBA Jam Virtua Fighter TIME TRAVELER (this 3d/hologram game was the f'ing bomb!!!) Pit Fighter Late 90s: Early Tekken games Time Crisis I (could break every speed record) Area 51 (knew every secret) Virtua Cop Edit: Video of Time Traveler... given i was like 10 when I played, this was pretty sweet. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-lyTasMAYic&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-lyTasMAYic&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I was referring to one on one fighting games like Street Fighter 2. But good call on TMNT everyone, I knew I forgot something. Also NBA Jam. And I'm a bit disappointed tinman, I thought you'd mention at least one kick ass game I've been missing out on. D&D Shadow Over Mystara is the best Capcom side scroller IMHO, so I passed on some games people have mentioned.
that old game where you'd basically be driving around a tiny micromachine type car with a steering wheel, doing 3 or 4 laps.. and you could use 3 nitro boosts per round unless you picked some up on the track. Oil slicks, etc. and then you could build up diff parts of your car w/the money you won.. plus all the stuff others have mentioned tmnt sf2 xmen golden axe nba jam
Mortal Kombat Primal Rage Lethal Enforcers NBA Jam There was this frisbee like game I used to play all the time but cannot quite remember its name.
