Favorite Arcade Game? - Page 2

ArchangelX · 10-12-2003, 04:43 PM

Dammit...I need to start paying attention.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 06:32 AM

Magic Sword:

Final Fight:

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 06:32 AM

and the Darkstalkers series:

WillyK · 10-13-2003, 06:33 AM

Mark, Final Fight was the ****. I used to love that game.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 06:35 AM

the emulator for it is really awesome, best part is that you can keep hitting the insert quarter button, so for the first time ever, you can win the game

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 06:36 AM

Oh ya...Dalkstarker..now that's da shiznit. Okay, that's it..I'm gonna go find my emulator CD for Callis, and play some damn Darkstalkers and Final Fight.

Nevermind, it looks like you already play it, heheh. That's cool.

I hook my computer up to my 27" TV, my wife and I used to play alotta da Capcom games together. I've got two Microsoft Sidewinders, so it works great!

And you're so right about the quarter thing. I never did beat some of those games, like Magic Sword, in the arcade. It's so good to see the endings finally.

I have most of them, but if you could get me an emulator for Darkstarkers III I'd even pay you for it. I think it was only released on the original Playstation (and the arcade game in Japan only??) I dont know if they make emulators for Playstation games though...

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 06:39 AM

Ya..they do.

EPSXE plays even Jap-spec games. I'll check it out. I have a friend in Japan, that might know how to get ahold of it. I don't think I've ever played DS3 either, so I think you're right.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 06:41 AM

I downloaded a big file off kazaa that has 100 popular arcade games from the early-mid 90s, it has the Simpsons on it (which is REALLY hard to find) and TMNT

I have a ROM for it, and Ninja Gaiden. Probably 2 of my all time favorite games.

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 07:01 AM

Ya..cool. I've got a couple cd's too with games on them. I burn them as I find them, so if my computer crashes, I don' t have to worry about losing them

I forgot about one of my other fav arcade games. Metal Slug 1,2, and X. Those are classics, too.

the Metal Slug series was so f*cking awesome, super violent too.

WillyK · 10-13-2003, 07:08 AM

I demand recognition Mark.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 07:10 AM

I've only played the NES versions of Ninja Gaiden, they were cool, but not my favorite. Did you ever play Strider (arcade)? It's probably one of the hardest games I've ever played, just a plot to make you keep adding quarters

I'm talking about the NES version of Ninja Gaiden. I hated the 2nd one, but the 1st was great. I used to have Strider, NES or SNES.. I can't remember? I sucked at it though, it was a tough game.

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 07:29 AM

Oh dang..I just found out where you can get Metal Slug 3 and 4 for emulator! I haven't played them yet!

http://www.fantasyworld.bt.pl/slug4.php

Oh..and I just found a list of .rom sites for arcade roms:

http://www.fantasyworld.bt.pl/slug4.php

that site has a ROM for Baseball Stars 2

The 1st one was one of my favorite games for the NES, never knew they made a sequel

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 08:27 AM

If you look closely at the bottom of each page, there's a link for NeoRageX, the emulator that runs the games. It's not the latest version, though, so I'll find the link for it.

Baseball Stars 2 is fuggin' awesome on the NeoGeo. It was one of my favs, too...it's amazing how great a 2D game can be. I'm currently downloading Metal Gear 4, I haven't played that one yet...it looks really good. I just found my Callus and Mame CDs. I forgot how many games I got. I've got everything Final Fight to Willow..heheh.

Here's a few emulators for NeoGeo and Capcom games:

Kawaks - (even better than NeoRageX, and constantly updated) - http://kawaks.retrogames.com/

NeoRageX - ( the original NeoGeo emu, but discontinued, still works great, though..it plays almost all the games) - http://home.swipnet.se/~w-50884/emulator/rage.htm

Nebula - http://nebula.emulatronia.com/indexe.html

If you're having trouble finding a particular rom, let me know, and I'll see if I have it or I can find it.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 08:31 AM

thanks...I'm going to put as many of these as possible on a CD, since those websites go down all the time

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 08:56 AM

Hey...is that Darkstalkers 3 also known as Vampire Saviour?

Is it this game? Cuz I think I can find it for you if it is...

I'm not sure - Darkstalkers had like 2 other names in Japan, like "Vampire Hunter" and something else. That link has DS caracters in it, but it looks like a puzzle game

Damn, that felt good.

Nah..that's just the pictures for the Arcade cabinet, you know..the parts that tell you how to execute the moves, bla bla. I didn't have a picture of the actual video game to show you.

By the way...anyone remember this game? Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters:

I completly forgot about this game..it's a classic! You could blow up stations, and robots, all to save the chicas!

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 09:21 AM

cool, if it is DS3 then please find it

I havent seen that game below, but it looks like Shadowrun

I'm trying to think of some other arcade games I'm looking for. I still need the X-Men one (the one that's like TMNT), the original Gauntlet, the 3-D pac man game (PacMania, I think it was called - I used to go to the pizza parlor every day in 6th grade and play it

), and Dragon Spirit (the one where you're a dragon who can gain extra heads/spit different kinds of fire, etc) - I want this one the most, but it has to be the arcade version

WillyK · 10-13-2003, 09:24 AM

What about Afterburner? That was a badass arcade game.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 09:27 AM

As did I. I had another game on the Sega, I don't recall the name, but you fly in a helicopter. One of the levels you were flying through an underground tunnel and had to avoid the stalagmites and ****.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 09:32 AM

was it choplifter?

Celicon · 10-13-2003, 09:32 AM

It was called Thunderblade!

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 09:41 AM

yes! I remember this game too

this pic shows up half the time, I'll see if I can find more:

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 09:45 AM

**** it, I cant get them to show up

here you go:

http://screenmania.retrogames.com/pce/01/pce_002.html

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 09:47 AM

I think I have the X-Men one...let me look on my Raine CD.

As for Afterburner..that's emulated, too...here's the emulator that does it:

ACE - (and I believe yo u can download the rom from that site up there or www.classicgaming.com) -
http://cps2shock.retrogames.com/download/ace19.zip

Stnicralisk · 10-13-2003, 09:48 AM

That would be it.

Did anyone mention one of the greatest arcade games ever? Double Dragon.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 09:49 AM

there was another game for the Sega Master System I used to play alot, but I cant remember the name...it was a game for the light gun, it was kind of like Gotcha for the NES, but you had to shoot these mafia-type gangsters....then there was a bonus level where you had to find the key behind a brick wall by shooting out sections of it

haha! There was this trick, if you shoot the big neon store sign, it falls down and anyone who was under it gets squashed like a pancake

As for double dragon, it's freaking impossible to find the original arcade version...

WillyK · 10-13-2003, 09:54 AM

Probably the arcade game I was best at was Soul Edge, which was renamed Soul Blade on the Playstation.

I had the top 6 times on the one I played in the arcade. My best time being around 2 minutes and 5 seconds, my worst time was in the high 3 minute range.

Oh..by the way MarkyMark, I've got the original Double Dragon.

CreepingJeff · 10-13-2003, 10:32 AM

shinobi was fun.

and i always liked bad dudes.

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 10:33 AM

the Bad Dudes arcade game was great, the NES version sucked real bad. Another good one like Bad Dudes/Final Fight was Streets of Rage.

MeGaXmAn27 · 10-13-2003, 10:35 AM

streets of rage was great as well.. i miss those classic beat'em ups

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 10:37 AM

yeah, any game where you fight hundreds of sunglasses-wearing punks with mohawks and gang jackets is a great game, in my opinion

ArchangelX · 10-13-2003, 11:19 AM

Anyone remember Last Blade? It was a really obscure title, but man..it was freakin' awesome. I thought it was better than SF2 sometimes.

The Samurai Showdown series was great, too!

MarkyMark · 10-13-2003, 11:26 AM

I dont remember those...

however I remember something else I wanted, the Bonk and Bonk II for Turbografix 16

I dl'ed a ROM and Emulator for them several years ago, but the emulator made the screen really, really small, that you could barely see it

10-13-2003, 12:01 PM

OMG I can't believe I missed out on this thread!!!!
Tapper was cool-I remember when tapper started out serving beer-but then they changed it all to root beer color-
elevator action
rolling thunder
shinobi
yi ar kung fu
kung fu
ninja gaiden
tecmo bowl
space harrier
galaxy force
after burner
