What is your favorite game you have ever played in an arcade?

I am really old-school in this subject because my favorite is Ms Pac-Man. If I see it in a bar during a night out, I still feel the need to dig out a quarter and give the high-score list another try.

Would have said time crisis until i went to a bar in leeds, england that had a space invaders machine, spent the night and all my money on it.

Commando.

Spent a lot of time in the arcades as a young teen pumping money into them.

A few years back I did a little work with some local film students - who, for some reason unknown, happened to have a Commando arcade machine in the living room of the rented house.

I'll second that. There's a place in Wisconsin called The Burned Bridge, or something like that. They used to have a Mrs Pac-Man machine there. I wasted some good money on that game (I never got on the high-score list, though).

While I am a big fan of arcade games, I liked the early 90's era. My favourite would have to be Spiderman, a scrolling beat-em-up. You could choose to be Spidey, Namor, Black Cat or Hawkeye.

I'm not really an arcade-playing person... I played Halo once though (the only time I've ever touched an X-box (*shudder*) and it weren't bad...

Oh, and House of the Dead

I'm so sad

I remember that game. Wasn't there an Avengers' game that came out around the same time? I wouldn't be surprised to hear if that also included Namor and Hawkeye in the grouping.

I defidently liked that era of arcade treatment of comic characters than the one that immediately followed: placing them in the fighting arena. I never liked the Street Fighter angle, but I must admit that I have the Marvel Super Heroes fighting game that was later ported to the original playstation.

well for me it has to be Golden Axe!

although I also liked Knights of the Round and Double Dragon (I still remember the look on my friend's face when we poured in about £5 in change to get to the very end in two player mode - we weren't very good! - and then defeated the final baddie only for the strumpet to say only 1 of us would get the girl.....at which point I promptly introduced my baseball bat to various parts of my friend's anatomy...in the game of course!! I still think it's a swine of an ending! )

I was always a huge fan for racing games. So my favorite was this one called Out-Run (I think), which you basically sat in a seat that moved around and stuff. It was pretty cool for about 10 yrs ago.

Man, I completely forgot about Golden Axe! That game was great. I think it would be cool to have that one as an at-home arcade machine.
