Do you guys have titles that get no respect at all? By that, I mean that you love them, but when people are over, it gets completely ignored? My Nba Jam(s), Killer Instinct, and super nice looking mame cab running Pacman (and a couple of other classics) get no game time AT ALL. The kids all gravite toward the Super Chase racing game, the big showcase cabinet with the naomi system playing Virtua Tennis (or virtual fighter 4), or play for HOURS against each other on the neogeo (Puzzle Bubble is the most plyed game by far); and they love the crap out of Mortal Kombat. Girls are REALLY into Mortal Kombat (and endless sonya vs sonya rounds)
I think KI is too intimidating for new gamers; the gameplay isnt really spectacular when you can't pull off combos; and Nba JAM(s) seems to be incredibly confusing to visitors. Its like they dont know what to do once their player goes off screen. I tell them to simply point toward where the action is but they all get confused and they stop playing after a quarter.
Pacman gets one or two plays, out of nostalgia.
It's interesting to see what attracts players in 2012..
