Arcades.

[enterthemadness]

I like arcades. Love them more than the home consoles. However, it seems like the arcade is going the way of the dinosauer.

 

[Gamma Ray]

Yep. Used to have two nearby, both closed. Still go to Dave and Busters sometimes, though.

 

[Tsunulia]

I don't have one at all near me

 

[Stringer]

Yeah we had a great one here when I was growing up but once the ps2 hit they shut it down.

 

[Swiftman]

arcades are ****in great but like you said they are becoming old, but they are still great.

 

[Tsunulia]

I liked the way they used to be........................before DDR. It's cool to watch the people who can do it, I wait to see if they'll trip and fall when they go really fast.

 

[Stringer]

Remember the TMNT, X-Men, Street Fighter 2, Samurai Showdown arcade games? Ahh those were the days

 

[Tangled Web]

There's some great games that one would only find at the arade. For instance, thge Jurassic Park first person shooter. That was great.

 

[Master Chief]

Silent Scope, Time Crisis, ocassionally House of the Dead, and the Dance Dance Revolution machines are all I play.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I remember liking this game

 

[Swiftman]

i used to love that simpsons arcade game. that **** was pretty cool.

 

[Tangled Web]

There was one game from Japan. Where you are a cop. You play it standing up and the camera actually moved as you did. It was pretty cool.

I will spend any amount of money on Hydro Thunder. It's my greatest vice. We have a bunch of arcades by me. DDR, and other rythym games, are what keeps them afloat. There are alot of goths who wish they were Aisan. Don't get me wrong, I like anime and the like. But these kids are like Oakzap on steroids.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Anyone remember this one

Is that the firefighter game? Where you have that hose and spray out the fires? 'Cause if it is, yeah, that game was pretty kickass.

edit: haha, no wai, totally wrong game. My bad.

 

[Stringer]

Alien vs Predator was the shiznit too

 

[Tangled Web]

Remember kids. Heros don't use drugs.

I like that game too, but it is the one where you race boats.

 

[Master Chief]

Yeah, I think I had that for the N64... I realized I was wrong.

 

[Erzengel]

There is a Star Wars video game that I put $5.00 in if I see it.

 

[Leto Atrides]

It wasn't bad on consoles, but it doesn't compare. It sucks, though. Most arcades have replaced it with the crap that is Arctic Thunder.

The speeder bike one?

 

[Tsunulia]

The speeder bike one?

the one you can play Death Star, Hoth, or Endor rox

 

[Tangled Web]

the one you can play Death Star, Hoth, or Endor rox

Yeah, I remember that.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I remember liking this game

"Pyro will turn you to toast!"
"Nothing moves the Blob!"
"The White Queen welcomes you to die!"
"Juggernaut will flatten you!"
"X-men! Welcome to die!"
"I am Magneto, you are nothing!"
"I am Magneto, Master of Magnet!"
"You are helpless against my power, X-Men!"
"X-Men, welcome to die!!"
"X-Chicken!"
"Kill you!"
"You are dead!"



I loved how Wendigo would jump out and say his own name.

"WEN-digo!!!"

probably could've bought 2 or 3 of those machines with the quarters I spent on 'em.
