Re: Arcade games

Silent Scope is an awesome game.

There are no arcades within 50 miles of me though : (

Re: Arcade games

Initial D was really the only Arcade game that I was really into. Horrible physics, but fun.

I always assumed that Initial D had more realistic physics than Maximum Tune simply because the steering wheel allows for greater degrees of turning, allowing for "better" control. Guess I was wrong.

Re: Arcade games

Got a Namco Time Out arcade a mile and a half from my house, which is convenient. We just got Time Crisis 4, and in my opinion, it looks next-gen. Your characters talk and react accordingly to what's going on screen, saying situation-triggered things like "What the hell?" and or "Get down, dammit!" and scripted stuff, like "He's shooting an anti-tank rifle with one hand? Who the hell is this guy?" Adds a whole lot more to gameplay. Other little things are added too, making TC4 awesome.

Uh...our Soul Calibur II machine was one token when it got upgraded, so III is still one token. The machine is whored constantly. By me. I just wish we could've gotten a new cabinet...

For a while, we had this cop shooting game where you would stand in a booth, and as bullets were shot at you, you would have to physically duck or shift position. But a dollar per go was not worth it.

Our L.A. Machine Gunz game is only one token as well, and I can get more than halfway through the game on one credit. Cheap and highly addicting.

Re: Arcade games

Just got back from the trip, and ended up going to an arcade somehow. I didn't even suggest it or anything.

House of the Dead 4

Lame. Shaking my gun wildly to reload and to avoid taking damage is not my idea of fun.

Slient Scope

Absolutely. I forgot about this one. They had Ex at the arcade I went to. Very enjoyable, though I'm really bad at it.

Crazy Taxi, Virtural Cop 3

Virtua. Yes, yes, yes. Love them to death, although I always thought the Crazy Taxi games were better suited for consoles, despite the complete arcade format.

Hydro Thunder

Classic, but having finally played one again for the first time in years, not the great game I remember. Still pretty damn fun.

this virtual boxing game that I have only seen in like 3 arcades that really cool to play, Gauntlet series

Mocap Boxing. It's like Police 911 but less fun and more gay. I guess that's cool if you're into that sort of thing. Any Gauntlet game after the original (not Gauntlet Legends, I mean Gauntlet) is dumb and a waste of money. They're more fun on console, and even then, that's not much fun.

TC4, SCIII

O_O

Your arcade rules. Those have to be brand spankin' new.

this cop shooting game where you would stand in a booth, etc

Police 911. Sucks that it was a dollar at your arcade.

L.A. Machine Gunz

Very simple, very fun. I think we have a Japanese version at my arcade or something, but I played this one at the arcade in Pennsylvania.

Re: Arcade games

Austin's Guadalupe Street (right next to UT Austin) is one of the few surviving areas of decent arcade activity now. That is also one of the reasons why Austin bears some of the best Street Fighter players in the U.S.

Arcades are dying due to the growth of cybercafes. Little do they know in a lot of games its still more fun to play with strangers at an arcade than 1 or 2 friends on a console.

Re: Arcade games

I lead an army is Soul Caliber 2 Conquest mode at a truckstop arcade.

That is all.

Re: Arcade games

I always enjoyed House of the Dead here and there..along with the original time crisis. Fun times..none of the arcades near where I am have them. But they do have Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 which was widely fun, oh I played the heck outta that game.

Re: Arcade games

a really rare game called "Mario Kart GP" or something.

Re: Arcade games

I really like Time Crisis 2 becuase I can beat it with less than two bucks at my arcade. It's a fun game.
I feel like they made Time Crisis 3 too hard or something; it always takes me way more to beat. :/

Also, I love L.A. Machine Guns. It's hard as hell, though.

Re: Arcade games

SoulCal2 Honestly pwns all other arcade games (Besides Roxor and Konami games.) My Local arcade has SoulCal2 and Tekken5 (<---- Better than Tekken 3 IMO, but I still wish we had a TAG) and they are pretty much always occupied. Conquest mode in SoulCal2 is simply one of the best arcade games/modes ever created.

Also I can't believe you forgot Time Crisis 2, what a great shooter. And Silent Scope. Capcom vs. SNK deserves a mention as well.

Everything else is pretty much correct, now every new shooter I play kicks balls except for the training ones. I have never played a good racing game in the arcade, except maybe Hydro Thunder which is extremly old school.

Re: Arcade games

I can't remember the name of it, but my favorite arcade game is a shooter.

You pick the way your character looks (Cowboy, Forest, Urban(?), "Bad Boy") and then a gun (which ranges from pistols to automatics. A personal favorite being the automatic with piercing ability).

I'm going to fail at describing this. I'll tell the name next time I see it.
