I always loved the X-Men game. The one that had 2 screens. That is a great beat-em up game.

Captain America and The Avengers was anotehr one that I absolutly loved!

Alright i thought for a while and these came to mind that i remember enjoying playing quite a lot in the arcades. In no particular order:

  • Gauntlet
  • TMNT
  • The Simpsons Arcade Game
  • Spy Hunter
  • Space Invaders
  • Terminator 2
  • Hang-On (on the bike of course!)
  • Cabal
  • 1943 (Battle for Miday or something? The one with the life bar and end bosses, loved it)
  • Bubble Bobble
  • Super Off Road
  • Shinobi (although i never got really far, but the first 2 levels kicked ass at least lol)
  • Commando (also loved it on the c64)
  • After Burner
  • Metal Slug (the whole serries is great as far as i've seen)
  • Gradius
Man i miss the arcades... Here i only know one but it's small and it sucks, and i think you can cound all of the arcades in the Netherlands with 2 hands of fingers... I'm missing a lot of racing games i enjoyed but i can't really remember the names and since they look alike so much it's hard to find them. But i loved the ones where you could take place and it would move and all that, closest i get to driving for real lol. BTW i HATE Pac Man, those ghosts make me nervous, damn them! I hate being chased! You also might have noticed the absense of fighting games on my list, i just suck at them and i don't really like them much.

Re: Favorite Arcade Games 

One game I like that I know I will not review is Boot Camp.  Great game especially the track ball version.

Re: Favorite Arcade Games 

I loved Time Crisis 1 and 2 (the sequels were subpar)

the Star Wars Race game from Episode 1 was really cool but too few tracks sadly.

Hokuto no Ken was a fun arcade too, punching a bunch of stuf to go wa tatattatatatttatatata.

Crusin' USA was a blast at the time and so was Daytona USA.

I really liked Silent Scope too.

I always been very rare for arcades :D

The REAL arcades (I mean, arcades before the 3D era) had dissapeared from Spain long time ago. So, I remember only the ones I played when I was a child...

I remember to play hours and hours of Knuckle Joe

Too hard, but one of the first Beat'em up ever made, I think... it was released in 1985, two years earlier than Double Dragon, and three years earlier than Dragon Ninja, besides its resemblances...


My original language isnt english. That's why I sound tan raro...
