I had a conversation with Arcadejunkie last week about possibly moving away from collecting just Nintendo and looking to add some different games to my collection. Although this won't happen anytime soon, it got me thinking of what I would get next. I know for everyone it's really about personal preference, what the game means to you, and/or your interest in actually playing it.
It would be tough for me. Going through my teen years in the 90s meant most arcade games were from the "beat'em up/slash'em up" genre (Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Rastan, Final Fight, TMNT, X-Men, Trojan, etc.) Although these were fun at the time for me, I was just playing some of these games with a buddy of mine on MAME last night and it got boring pretty quickly. Maybe I'm now used to games that are simple and challenging as opposed to mindless. We ended up playing NBA Jam for a good 2 hours. Hehe.
With that said, I think my next game I would consider getting would either be Street Fighter II: World Warrior (I have a lot of memories playing this game with my older brother and him kicking my butt) or Willow (A local candy shop had this game when I was a kid and I had a lot of fun playing it since I liked the movie. The concept of getting coins and buying items along the way was pretty cool at the time).
Would that be weird to have either of these sitting next to my eventual Nintendo row?
