This is the game I really want but everyone else takes a s#%t on thread!!

The one game I would love to own but you'd be hard pressed to hear anything nice about......Arabian!!! it has some grail factor in it for me, but i dare anyone to say they like it besides me!! anyone else??
 
Great idea for a thread.

Never played Arabian before, but yeah, I've heard a lot of people dump on it.

Mine would be:

Ring Fighter
Disco No. 1
Birdie King II
Alley Master
Arkanoid & Arkanoid II (have them now)
Thunder Fox
Street Smart
V-Ball
Super Basketball
 
I love my Arabian, fun game. Often overlooked.

They made less than 2000, and how many got converted? Finding a nice one took me a while.

Have fun with yours!
 
Sorry, you're on your own here... :D My grails are all within that "Oh, ok, that's a cool game" vibe.

But a cool thread concept, for sure.

I guess Zaxxon was a game I thought I wanted to get for a while, but after everyone s#%t on it for so long, I began playing it in mame and decided it kind of did suck... :(

Ditto for Congo Bongo.

And yes, I rotated the joystick 45 degrees. Had more fun playing it BITD, but they have lost their appeal, currently.
 
I don't know that I've ever really heard any positive feedback on Willow here. I have mine, and everyone who plays it at my house likes it, but tend to compare it to similar side scrolling games on NES or similar home consoles. No respect!

Yeah, I have a Willow PCB too. I plan to put it into its own cabinet, as soon as I get off of my ass and do some repair work for a guy who has all of the artwork waiting for me.
 
I also like Arabian! Played it at a dive theater bitd. I like the storybook concept; gameplay, however, is a different story...Definitely one of the cooler cabs out there!

My buddy has one that was converted to a Gladiator and the Cp is swiss cheese... There is no repro overlays or anything out there, is there?
 
I always wanted to play the pneumatic buttons.


Yeah, they are cool but I remember plaing it in a standard six button Dynamo cab at the local 7-11. I have never played a pneumatic version and it is not the game I am after, though I wouldn't turn one down if reasonably offered...
 
There are 2 Arabians in good condition at a local opertators warehouse here in Seattle. I never asked what he wanted for them. - Barry

No Repro art I ever found, could use a new CPO one day. Mines not bad, but having new art is always good to have.
 
I assume pins are fair game for this thread...my favorite guilty pleasure is "Genesis", or any Gottlieb Premiere pin for that matter. :) But Genesis wins for worst translite artwork ever.
