Isn't DJMT just a huge touch screen? If you get a rhythm game get something with cooler inputs!

 

[km3k]

X-men 4-player cabinets

I'd rather have the X-Men 6 player cabinet.

 

[xDEKOIx]

CarnEvil for sure

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Third Strike or Virtual On, although Virtual On might take up too much space.

 

[Retro]

I'd rather have the X-Men 6 player cabinet.

Yeah, but I've played it as an adult and it's just too cramped. Maybe it's just that my brothers and I are all 6-foot tall broad-shouldered monsters, but I still can't imagine 6 adults squeezing in comfortably for very long.

 

[Plinko]

Wrestlefest or Galaga.

Came here to post about Wrestlefest.

 

[decaf]

Daytona 8-player linked cabinets

.

 

[MG310]

Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, or that ridiculously huge Virtual On setup that my childhood arcade had.

 

[Team Filler]

 

[Narag]

Nothing too extravagant, just Silent Scope. I could play that all day and it remains one of my favorite arcade experiences.

 

[Retro]

Bleh. Forgot to mention Cybersled.

 

[abolisher6812]

Galaga
Moonwalker
Kung Fu Master
Super Mario Brothers
Bomb Jack
Elevator Action

 

[massoluk]

Either Virtual On or Gundam Arcade

 

[Korgill]

Apollo 13 Pinball : How can you beat a 13 ball multi-ball?

Any old school fighting game

 

[Chû Totoro]

THIS!

 

[Wanchan]

The Gundam Pod of course! http://youtu.be/qGcWe89MINQ?t=3m30s <3

 

[klee123]

Dungeons and Dragons Shadow of Mystra.

 

[Nevadatan]

anyone?

 

[Dreamwriter]

Marble Madness II: only a couple working machines are known to exist unfortunately

 

[TheBear]

OG Time Crisis. No other gun game can compare.

 

[Fright Zone]

I'd love a stand up SF2 WW or CE cab, and a Megalo 50 cab (probably the most nostalgic cabinet for me) with boards for all the classic Capcom and SNK fighters.
Throw in Addams Family pinball, Point Blank and Fighting Mania and I'm good to go.

 

[MyAbsolution]

I'd rather have the X-Men 6 player cabinet.

Was just gunna say. THIS. 6 player cabinet, EPIC OWNAGE.

"Welcome to die!"

anyone?

yes! loved Sunset Riders!

 

[Taco_Human]

Hands down Metal Slug 2.

 

[Jo-El]

Snow Bros.

 

[Orayn]

Tesla II BattleTech pod.

It's one thing to play MechWarrior on PC with a joystick and throttle setup, but another entirely to be in a fully enclosed cockpit with green-on-black CRT instrument panels, dozens of backlit buttons, and a joystick that feels like it came out of a fighter jet.

 

[Mutt]

Hands down for me, Side Arms: Hyper Dyne! I loved it because the Mobilsuit had a Robotech Mecha look to it. I found it to be a very challenging side-scrolling shoot-'em-up.

 

[drizzle]

If I had money, I'd get a Pinball Machine. Most specifically, The Getaway - High Speed II. I need the money part, because maintaining those is a bitch.

If I had money, but a little less, I'd make one of those LCD-based pinball machines.

Who am I kidding, i'd do both.

 

[speedpop]

Probably Virtual On.

 

[Ingueferroque]

You should include Pinball Machines too

I would probably buy Primal Rage solely for Nostalgia.

Hm, I fear that nostalgia will be over quick.

There are a few machines I'd like to pick, 4-player Ironman Steward's Offroad machine, House of the Dead 1, Outrunners...

 

[Diablohead]

F355 Challenge 3-screen full cab
Afterburner Climax with hydrolic seat

A hard choice.

 

[squidyj]

something from the future probably. the alternate future where arcades make a comeback.

 

[NinjaMouse]

Mortal Kombat II, hands down...

I've always had a thing for this game, and in its dedicated cabinet and with the volume way up, those uppercuts used to rock our arcade. So good.

 

[TerryWogan]

A standard NAOMI cab. So many options. Or a NAOMI 2 - backwards compatible. More options!

 

[minor effort]

Original Outrun, Hang-on, Space Harrier machines.

And a 4-player Simpsons cabinet to top it off.

EDIT: oh yeah, an original Darius would be nice as well.

Same here. I saw the thread title and I knew my answer immediately.

 

[CloakBass]

I would make room for this divinity right here.

 

[Tragicomedy]

The original Double Dragon.
Tecmo Bowl.
Galaga.
Ms. Pacman.

 

[FoeHammer]

WWF WRESTLEFEST.

No Doubt.

 

[Dog Problems]

One of my all-time favorite games and I will own it one day.

 

[medicalmidget]

Most definitely Time Crisis 2. Both sad and surprised to see that no one has posted it yet.

 

[kablamoman]

Either Virtua On or Gundam Arcade

I second that, those things are crazy fun although there is like no ventilation in them

 

[CadetMahoney]

That massive Simpsons or Turtles arcade machine.

But this is cool too:

THIS!

Is that part 1 or part 2? 2 I guess

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

One of my all-time favorite games and I will own it one day.

Beat me to it. This game is fantastic.

 

[medicalmidget]

Original Outrun, Hang-on, Space Harrier machines.

And a 4-player Simpsons cabinet to top it off.

EDIT: oh yeah, an original Darius would be nice as well.

Outrun, I completely forgot about that one. Yes, I will add that to my list as well. Or better yet, a drivable Outrun arcade machine.

 

[Tansut]

or

 

[Credo]

On a serious note, I couldn't decide on just one. Sunset Riders, Wrestlefest, and the X-Men arcade game all hold special places in my heart, along with the first arcade game I ever saw and played, Ms. Pac-Man.

 

[gatti-man]

Who knows where I'd keep it.

I have two of these in the restaurant i manage. Huge crowd favorite. Have the terminator and star wars game too. Term does really well. But that probably because the game allows you to set a time on how long the player lives to the second. Pretty cheap actually.

 

[pa22word]

UMK3 for sure

 

[mikeBlack]

A minty fresh Taito Egret 2 with DoDonPachi Saidaioujou inside.

or this

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

OutRun 2 SP arcade-cab. Oh yes.

I'd go for a Cool Riders cab, though that would be useless without the rare and expensive PCB(s).
