I love maymays almost as much as MAME

I remember one year I was meant to buy a mothers day present with my money I earned washing cars. Went down to the arcades and spent 3/4 of it on Street Fighter 2, Ghost N Goblins and Double dragon. Had just enough left over to buy her a snickers bar :lol:

air hockey was good exercise:lol:

The machines these days are mainly aimed at 5 year olds...like whack a mole..

The basketball game, where you physically had to shoot hoops was another game played regularly at an arcade. Air hockey too.

You won't see anyone touching the machines now, graphics are poor and the driving is poor too, even compared to a game like Mario Kart.

That was the shit when it came to racing games back in the day...

I could never understand why no one made an F1 version:-k

Daytona use to be the big one for me during high school years.

I think it does ..only with movie cinemas though..not as a shopfront on its own

Yeah that's why I never liked the arcade version anywhere near as much
Was playing an emulator of it recently and was told it was me doing it the wrong way [-( [-( [-(

Hmmm I think you're right about the soccer game too

Watching a bit of that ninja turtles video made me so nostalgic
I love the warning at the start aha target audience

This is the TMNT arcade game I remember playing.

Anyone played the beatem up games vendetta and Captain Commando?

Virtua Striker?

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL


Was that the one where they'd say "oh shell shocked" when they died?

Haha I got my megadrive with that game pretty much explicitly to play it!

Computer assisted was how the arcade was so I usually played it that way. They AI did dumb stuff but I hardly ever passed anyway :lol:

Always wanted one of those refurbished table top games that you can now put 100 games in or whatever you want
Those table top games just bring back sooo many (early) childhood memories

Ridge Racer was awesome
God, what was that soccer game?? I used to play that all the time

Virtua Fighter
Mortal Kombat
Time Crisis 2
I seem to recall a ninja turtle game when I was pretty young

Not arcade but i remember one the hindley street arcades had a NHL game like a soccer table (never called it foosball), had a lid on it i reckon... that was freaking awesome!

Oh man, what was the soccer game called!!!!!

My God I loved this game on mega drive (played it at the arcade too)

Question to all who played this :

Did you play with the computer assisted teammate or control both?

I always controlled both and never understood people who played it differently!!!!

Quiet, you little whipper snapper!

Less likely to develop an addiction at Galactic Circus:lol:

Yeah I prefer going to Galactic Circus than the casino. I'm losing money either way, may as well enjoy it.

I'm surprised it's not hen tai:lol:

Does timezone still exist? those 10 dollar super sessions were ace.

Yeah once I found out about emulators for arcades my life was complete :lol:

-PB

:lol: da hell .. only in Japan

Couldn't get my head around the MK dynamics...I was just plain hopeless at it.

This game is god. That and intial d is what i used to play constantly at highpoint.

You could get pretty far in the original double dragon using the elbow :lol:

You must be old:lol:

Did you ever play Double dragon 2...that was good too..much harder that the first

Mortal Kombat 2 was the shit for competitive play. I remember sitting on that thing for hours destroying all these other kids than this dude steps up and wipes me out in no time. Good times.
Ridge Racer was up there to.

Before that my local take away when I was in primary school was rocking double dragon, then ghost and goblins and later goblins and ghouls.
These 3 games define my childhood of arcade games.

Interesting rumor, there was a thing where The makers were so shitty with Michael Jordan for withholding his name rights that they coded the game so that the Chicago Bulls had little chance of winning the game if you used them
