Top 10 games list - Pure Crap

I don't think the list is crazy bad, but not my personal choices. Outrun and Virtual Fighter shouldn't be there, and Asteroids is also questionable. My biggest peeve? Couldn't they at least have listed pics of the original cabs instead of the remakes and anniversary versions?
 
Man, the Ms Pac art is one of the Ms. Pac/Galaga reunion cabs.

The SFII looks like one of retroheart's models.

ugh.
 
Pretty weak. I was surprised that SI was acknowledged tho. Seems to be the forgotten one, as time goes by. These machines were all money makers, I'm sure, but I agree with Jedi about some of the choices.
 
Out Run and Asteroids, and Virtua Fighter are all questionable.

The rest of the list I felt took a great cross section through the years.

Replace the previously mentioned three with say:

Mortal Kombat
TRON (because it being the first based on a movie, I think the game is awful)
Galaga
 
I think Asteroids deserves its spot. In the day, it was king. The coin boxes were overflowing and there were lines of people to play.
 
The list was weak as fudge.

Don't get me wrong, all of them are great games. In fact only Virtua Fighter was not listed in my Unofficial list of 50 best games. However, several should have been thrown way back on the ranks.
 
Dubious list, sure.

But Asteroids and Donkey Kong belong. There's just no arguing that. Really.
 
Just because DDR isn't as old as dirt doesn't mean it doesn't deserve it's rightful place on this list. As an arcade operator in the early 2000's I can personally account for it's profitability. I didn't see any other arcade games released around that time in the US that would have an hour plus line wait just to play the game.
 
Pretty weak.
Out Run??
Virtua Fighter??
DDR??
NBA Jam??

None of those belong on there. That's 4 out of 10 games that do not belong. I would not put any of those 4 in the top 25 best games.
