Time Crisis 2. Managed to beat the game with one credit, no life lost. The chaps were watching, and a couple of people were looking on. Quite a nice feeling.
Your greatest moment in the arcades

I could beat Fatal Fury and a lot of other SNK/Neo Geo games blindfolded basically.
Exploiting the AI was easy enough for a 12-year old (me) to beat.
I could singlehandedly beat the entire game using one measly quarter - and I did, repeatedly.

When I was 6 years old, I hit the jackpot at one of those coin-flicking games and got around 300 tickets!
The day I found Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo at a college near me and beat every college kid who tried to challenge me in it. Think I went on a 20 streak before they had to go back class. My most favorite arcade game ever.
greatest arcade moment... either getting really far on house of dead using both pistols at once, or when i was doing rather good on Silent Scope, killing the baddies hella fast. dual wielding arcade pistols really tire out my arms and i was going for a good amount of time before i finally died while trying to revive one of my pistols. (multitasking is really bad on arcade games)
DDR. Most definitely DDR.
I was exhausted. Like, completely, could hardly stand up. From Parkour training, not DDR, that would be sad. *coughs*
But when I get to that point I get really nihilistic, and throw my credits around. So I tried Paranoia -Respect- for my third stage, failed at the end, and nearly fell over. But just trying the song had gathered a crowd, and I'd decided I was going to pass that song. And so I did, first stage. And then failed the next one (Paranoia Survivor Max Heavy, another ten footer) And so I staggered off, to applause. Woo.

The arcades up here were desolate, muggy, dim lit rooms which few would willingly enter. Crowds didn't exist, and the machines barely ran right. Gaming in the arcade was a private affair, just you and the game.
My best moments were Metal Slug (can't remember which) and Area 51, hell, me, my mom and dad would play Area 51 like there was no tomorrow.
Of course, things had to change, one day I walked into the linking section between the commissary and PX...and the arcade was gone...replaced by a damn phone company, it went under roughly two weeks. No business has managed to stay open in that spot since.

Another one I can think of (this wasn't by me, I was part of the crowd). A friend of mine is a Time Crisis addict. This was a well-known fact within our group, so we decided to test him out. We gave him a single credit for one game.
He went for the solo mode. Turns out the guy was a GOD. Managed to beat the whole thing without getting hit even once. The funny thing is that since he played solo (leaving the other machine beside it playable), other people played on the machine beside him, only to lose 5 minutes later. They then became part of the crowd. In the end, he said that that wasn't even a good game because he only had 50% accuracy. His best game was around 70% (or so he said).

I honestly don't play in arcades much, not the right generation.
When I do with friends, I'm always the last one standing. This usually leads to "NERD!" calls rather than praise.

Well, I remember back in 94 Super Street Fighter had just come out and there was this kid just oblitorating everyone as Ken; I'm usually an Akuma or Ryu guy so I decided to go at it as Ryu (Akuma was just introduced for the first time in that game), the problem is I got distracted by a friend and selected Sagat by mistake (I'm good with Sagat, but on consoles, not arcades). Damn my though was "this kid is gonna make a fool out of me" so I decided to concentrate and FOCUS, since Sagat's special moves are a lot like Ruy's I thought "oh well, at least I'll go down with a fight". Not only did I ended up mopping the floor with him, I won like 10 straight matches as Sagat, including a rematch with the kid. That was the moment that convinced me that Sagat is my man.
It was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. He was added into that one because he is Ed Boon's favorite character. I should probably edit my first quote.MRMIdAS2k said:
