PC-10 Tecmo Bowl

PC-10 Mike Tyson's Punchout

Vs. Excitebike

Burgertime


I still am reeling at how popular the PC-10 was. And Excitebike. Really? People were on their knees to play that game in my red tent as the chairs had been stolen. Now don't get me wrong, lotta people get on their knees at my parties (there IS cover charge), but rarely is it in front of my red tent playing Excitebike. A combination of 4 different guys were on Tecmo Bowl virtually all night. Then they shifted to Mike Tyson. 2 of those dudes polished off a brand new bottle of Crown Royal by theyselves. MMA fans, what a bunch of rowdy drunks.
 
I can imagine Tecmo bowl being full all night. It is the best football game ever made after all!
Personally, I prefer emulated though, because you can still get updated rosters, teams, and logos for it.
 
MMA Fans are the worst.

I had family up from San Diego this past weekend (Dad, Mom, both sisters, bro-in-law, and nieces/nephews) and the most played game by far was Taxi. My Pops probably played 100 games in a day and a half. 2nd most played was Super Punch-Out. Weird.

The Punchouts always get the love. People love punching things. I need to get me a dedicated PO for sure now.

These don't surprise me much actually. Most guys that are my age would probably play the same. We grew up on the Nintendo Entertainment System. There wasn't a lot of arcades around my home town. These 3 were extremely popular on the ol' NES.
 
PC-10 huh? I am getting ready to have my first arcade party since I now have most of my games working. I can't wait to see which one gets the most play. I hope none of them stop working during the party. Did all of yours stay up and running?

Never had a problem with any of them.
 
I've had a few arcade parties over the years and the games that were most played almost always varies with each party.

My wife's family was here for a week recently and they played in the arcade a lot of the time.

The most popular games were:

1) Asteroids (two of the in laws could roll the game back in the day and got respectable scores after nearly 30 years of not playing the game). I still beat them all.

2) Ms Pac

3) Lost World

4) Mario Bros

5) Donkey Kong

Robotron was not working but I doubt it would have gotten a lot of play. A lot of people find the game to be too hard.
