Arcade Games That You are Embarrassed to still Have on Your Want List?

Im happy to say that
Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball-bu
Is right next to Super Bubble Blaster Brothers on my want list...
Please dont judge me
 
I'm 100% on board with Primal Rage and I own an Arch Rivals. I would also love a Crime Fighters (blew TONs of quarters back in the day) and Time Killers would be cool.
 
Bad Dudes!

Arabian! Many people think the game blooooowss! But I can't believe how many quarters I put in that one in Foxfield theaters (RIP). So many good memories of that game!

I dig Arabian too. I have a thing for cartoonish games like that. I'd love to have a complete original Arabian in decent condition. They're kind of hard to come by it seems. A local op owns a couple of them but his asking prices are always too high.

I also really like Toobin' even though most people seem to ignore it. It's one of the most fun two player games I've ever played.
 
Super Basketball by Konami.

Spent one week during a summer in my youth playing it; major nostalgia for me. :D

Same game for me. I never played it in the day but it is one of my favorites and my sons favorites in MAME.
 
Bump N Jump (Hells Yeah!)

Played a LOT BITD, but can't bring myself to buy:
Rastan (Would get bored of it too quickly, though)
Rolling Thunder (Would get bored of it too quickly, though)
Rush 'N Attack (Would get bored of it too quickly, though)

Hmmm... All side scrollers. Interesting how that works. :rolleyes:

Ikari Warriors kinda fits this category for me as well...
 
I gotta admit, I actively sought out both Primal Rage and Rampage, and they seem to not get a lot of love. One game that still on my radar (that I may or may never actually pick up) is Arch Rivals. I know, I know, most think it's a terrible game, but when I was 16-17 years old, we played the shit out of the game at the Skill Mill Multi Level arcade in St. Cloud. I have great memories of beating the hell out of my friend Jim while we played. So anyone else actively seeking out a bonafied stinker, or is it just me?

The Skill Mill!!! Me and my buddies used to hang out there back around 1989... A DJ buddy of mine's parents owned the joint. Phet, I'm going to make an educated guess that you probably are familiar with Outer Limits (Crossroads Mall) and the Coin Collector (downtown St. Cloud) arcades from BITD?!?! I did time at all those places. Plus, also Chuck E. Cheese and the old Kmart gameroom.

Outer Limits you say? Never heard of it.

Hell yes I remember. I also remember the K-Mart and Target gamerooms.
 
Gals Panic S2. Not sure I'd give it it's own cab, but it'll be on the playlist in MAME someday. Gameplay is too much fun to not look past the OMG CARTOONZ BEWBZ factor.

Glad to see I'm not the only one! Try 4 with a friend sometime -- versus multiplayer is silly fun.

I'd like to get a GP4 board and take it to anime conventions. See how people react.
 
I'm embarrassed to still have not picked up any version of Street Fighter II - especially since I saw SF2:Turbo go for $140 at an auction recently. If only Enterprise hadn't screwed up my vehicle reservation, I'd have had enough room to bring it home.
