Your favorite arcade game in the arcades

[daveman247]

Not a House of the Dead fan; game bleeds you dry of all money in existence. It's not even a skill thing, I've seen two guys pay there way up to the final boss on 3 and it was a clusterfuck.

Yeah, well its designed that way

I think the wii one might be easier because i can get to the end of that no problems.

Ghost Squad, the controller and game was so boss

Ahhh i forgot about that its awesome.


OT: I remembered another great one : I think it was called H2O and it was a sequel to hydro thunder. It was great. Have only seen it once though.


- One called "razing storm" has started popping up. You get your moneys worth with that one, because it gives you a great big machine gun


Its pretty disheartening when the lightguns are not calerbrated properly :/ What was i paying money for again????

Yeah, arcades are pretty much dead in the UK :/ Brighton has a pretty great arcade on the pier. Maybe theres one there???

Actually don't know what it's called, maybe one of you does.
Was an onrails shooter with two guns mounted on a off-road car(drives around you shoot baddies... bla bla bla), but what made it great were these incredibly meaty guns on pistons with force feedback and everything, man that thing felt so fucking good playing, and no other controller comes even close to that awesomeness.

Time crisis 2, the co op was awesome

Or house of the dead 3, with its chunky shotguns. Even if they were a bit heavy after a while XD

QFT! Light gun shooters kick ass! I like Time Crisis 3 the best though

Hazy, imma let you finish, but Time Crisis 4 was the best light gun game of all time. Of ALL time!

But yeah, the Time Crisis series in general just kicks tons of ass.

Hell yeah, it does! Time Crisis 3 was my favourite, although 4 gets mad props for ditching the fictional countries and setting it in America. I still laugh every time I see that Spec Ops captain, who looks like he's just fallen out of a portal from the most generic JRPG ever. US Army, my arse.

House of the Dead were fun, camp horror too, although the lack of a cover system rendered them less enjoyable than Time Crisis. You end up losing lives just going "Ohgodohgodohgod shoot everything on-screen!" and panicking. That sloth boss from HotD 3 was an absolute bastard to kill.

There was a game like Time Crisis called Crisis Zone, which I remember briefly playing. In that one, you got an SMG with unlimited ammo, and it was set in a shopping mall in London (of all places). That was good fun as well.

Any of the Time Crisis games if I'm playing with friends, otherwise one of the old Tekken games.

My friends and I have gotten so good at Time Crisis 3 that we can get past the first 2 bosses without losing any health.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty much te FPS like House of the Dead, Jurassic Park and Time Crisis althought my favourite is Crisis Zone. The arcades over here had HOTD and Crisis Zone left but I lead toward the latter until it the trigger on the gun was broken).

Been to brighton pier a few times since I'm not too far away from that. There are two euromix cabinets right next to each other (both in awful condition, and for some really weird reason they're next to each other). No sign of street fighter since I've last been there.

Crisis zone was great fun, too bad it was only single player :/ Thats the one with the riot shield isnt it?

Ah well, it was worth mentioning

I know it had a shedload of racing and lightgun games though!

It had hydrothunder 2 :3

Yeah, it was. That's the one problem I always had with Time Crisis games; you hide behind a park bench with enemies shooting at you at point-blank range, and no bugger can hit you. At least when you're hiding behind a sheet of steel, it feels like it can actually protect you!

THIS ************ RIGHT HERE.

Nothing better than co-op railshooters. Time Crisis and Hourse of the Dead are the shit, but I prefer Time Crisis.

 

[Luftwaffles]

Time crisis 2 was the best.

Beat it with my cousin eons ago.

OH and the Metal Slug series.

Morecambe: The seaside town of yesterday, still has a few arcades with shooters scattered around them. Everything else is total shite.

Most of the small sea side towns are pretty dire, Skegness was terrible XD

At my local bowling alley my Dad & I held the top three positions for Time Crisis 2 for at least 4 years, when they eventually replaced it with TC3.

Used to know where every bonus enemy, surprise cheap-shot and secret was.

 

[zidine100]

tekken 3 arcades, its always fun to beat it in one coin.

On a side note i really hate lightgun games here, the guns are always ALWAYS calibrated wrong on purpose and im not talking about a little bit, im talking about half way across the dang room.

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

Galaga.
*beedoobeedoobeedoo*

 

[Treblaine]

AND NEVER GOT ANY CONSOLE PORT! For shame!

Still absolutely LOVED this game and took so much of my money.

Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, Carnevil, and Initial D.

There's arcades in Japan where Initial D is clearly the greatest racing game of all time, due to the fact it's got an entire car as a controller.
