Just wondering who has them and what is the replay value like. There are some that I really enjoy playing in an arcade but I am not sure if having them at home all the time is a good idea or not. Ranger Mission, Area 51 Site 4, Target Terror and Police Trainer are the ones I am thinking of. Not that I have opportunity or cash to pick one up at the moment but maybe eventually. All of my games are 19" cabinets so I don't know what the dimensions are like on gun game cabs. Any thoughts?
 
I have Area 51: Site four, It's best played with two people. The hidden rooms and final boss are challenging to complete.

Carnevil is another game I'd consider looking into. If you like zombie platforms, and shooting demented clowns with a pump-action shotgun, that's the game for you.
 
Check dimensions in your layout with Sketchup. I've had a couple shooters at the house. They all got old except for Police Trainer.
 
Spend the dough and find an exidy shooter, awesome sounds and difficult to boot, my favorite game in my arcade...hard to find tho
 
I just sold my operation wolf last night,i had it for a long while its fun and difficult to beat.
 
Have a Area 51: Site 4 and a Point Blank 2. Area 51 is cool and fun to play. Point Blank 2 is not the best game in the world but kids like it. I will probably put a different game in there, just not sure which one yet.
 
I had a time Crisis 3, but once I finished it, there really wasn't any draw to keep playing it. I have Turkey Hunting USA now, and it is fun once in a while.

Area 51 is at the top of my list to find this year. It may get old after a while, but I don't know. I never got tired of playing it in the arcades. I also enjoy the Big Buck Hunter games, so I may try to get one of those as well.


I think every arcade should have a shooter and a sit down racer. There is a reason they are still popular in arcades today. The experience is a lot of fun.
 
they all get old after a while. I own a silent scope 2 and that has yet to get old!!

you gotta find ones with more to do than the standard mode. like police trainer or silent scope, theres target modes and such and those are whats fun
 
I have a Point Blank and 3 player Revolution X, both are fun but the kids are drawn to Point Blank. I still play both and they are both popular. I really want an Area 51 bad or a zombie shooter.
 
I bought Point Blank 2 but it stopped working. Ended up getting an Atomiswave & got 3 shooting games...Sports Shooting USA, Extreme Hunting, & Ranger Mission...

I think going the atomiswave route is the best, you can switch out games pretty easily, like switching out old nintendo games...

My favorite is still Point Blank but Sport Shooting USA is pretty amazing game too...
 
I have op wolf and area 51/max force. I had cernevil but my kid is of the age he wants to play games with daddy so i had to let it go to leinhit. That one was my favorite.

op wolf and area 51/max force are cool,. but they do seem to get old fast.
 
Another idea, take a generic cabinet with Happ guns and change the board & marquee from time to time. Police Trainer, Lethal Enforcers, Zero Point... swap them out regularly and keep the selection fresh! It's fun to pull one off the shelf you haven't played in a while. Lethal Enforcers 2, Rapid Fire, Locked 'n Loaded, Maximum Force... always something new to try. Few of them really had any great cabinet art anyway.

+1 to this! I picked up my Silent Scope 2 for $225. Game gets so much play from me and visitors. Plus you can link them if you really want to too.
 
Virtua Cop 2 is a good gun game too. But my main gun game is an EM game, Ninja Gun. Fun to play!
 
I have a steel gunner. My son and his friends like it but kept playing untill the beat it and do not play it as much. When I get my house done and the games installed it might get more play, it is better with two players. The best part is I bought it for $100. The bad part it is big and will take up some room in the house.
 
currently got a Area 51/Max Force/Site 4/Carnevil setup (all in one cab), previously had a Confidential Mission, Ninja Assault, HOTD2, HOTD4, LE, and others, all of these on freeplay can be played and completed within the hour or so with 2 people playing, play them a couple of times to see the various routes, then its pretty much done, HOTD4 was super pretty just over quickly and was probably the most disappointed by that, they are good party games, and good for a game room, just most are big and are over quick

Do All those work in the Same Cab ? I have a Lethal Enforcers and am very interested in other games that are compatible.

Keep in mind LE was MY gun game growing up, I just bought a Police Trainer board and am looking for a 'LE2' board to add variety.

I also have a Playchoice and all 3 gun games (Duck Hunt, Wild Gunman, Hogan's Alley) so I think it's a good variety. I like to change up games when I can between parties so there's always something "new" in the rotation.
