I'm wondering what other machine I would want to finish off my collection.
I grew up in 1987, the JAMMA age, and I quickly found (through my friend's arcade collections) that the best cabs came about well before I was on the scene. I love the classics, especially vectors, and my collection reflects that. What other game should I seek out?
I can't think of any big names that I'm missing. I don't want lasers, I don't want Star Wars. I passed up Sega's G08 Star Trek because the hardware scares me and it has a great port on the ColecoVision. The games from 1987 and up have been reproduced well on consoles. I'd like to play Space Lords (1993) again to see if I really want to dedicate that much room to a game. Light gun games are not that appealing, I've played Terminator 2 recently, Operation Wolf and Mechanized Attack don't have the replay value I crave. I can't see any games that would necessarily be better than what I have already. I still haven't sold any of my games and do not plan to.
So you can help, here's my collection out of VAPS:
PRE-CRASH (till 1984)
Armor Attack

Centipede
Galaga
Ms. Pac-Man
Night Driver
Omega Race

Raiden 2 DX
Shinobi
Sky Shark
Sky Soldiers
Strikers 1945 II
Toobin'
Twin Cobra
Xybots
