I spent a lot of money playing this:
Leaving out Neo-Geo games, these are a few of my absolute favourites:
- Alien vs. Predator (Capcom)
- The Punisher (Capcom)
- Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (Capcom)
- Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (Capcom)
- Dodonpachi, and pretty much anything else by Cave.
What was the name of that one wich had a wheel and a pistol that was for 2 player "assymetrical gameplay" but everyone played singleplayer with one hand on the wheel and other in the gun ?
I personally love Battle Circuit (CPS2, Capcom) and Osman, aka Cannon Dancer (Mitchell) -- a great Strider clone. There are tons and tons. My favorite Cave shooter is probably still Ketsui, which, if you're into the genre, I would recommend.

For some reason this game just clicked with my friends and I. Whenever we visited an arcade we'd look for P.O.W. first, play the crap out of it, and then eventually migrate over to Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja, our second most-played game. Those were the days!
As far as I know the only accurate home conversion of it came out on the SNK Collection vol. 0 for which the release was limited to PSP (for some ungodly reason). I'm still hoping P.O.W. and the rest of the games from that collection come to Virtual Console in the near future. This is one sentimental experience I'd love to relive.
If we're talking about games that we actually played in real arcades...
Played all of mine in real arcades. Not sure.who's list is questionable that way...
Rip Off.- strange vector game I don't remember the name of, but you had a bunch of triangles in the middle of the screen and had to protect them from being stolen by enemies that came on from the edges. top-down and you had dual stick tank controls. Infinite lives but when you got killed there was a delay respawning so the enemy had time to keep removing your fuel tanks. This
was back in the 80's probably.
A few favorites from my arcade collection:
Not sure if you that Sunset Riders is the 4 Player version, but you should order the 2 Player eeproms - it'll allow you to use your character. Which should always be Cormano since he's awesome. If you're interested shoot me a PM and I'll send you the guys email - I've ordered a bunch of eeproms from him.
You know, I'm not totally concerned about that atm. I think it's got one of the joysticks replaced with a bat, so I'd want to replace that first. It is 4 player, though. How much would a cab go for? I couldn't find much on it.
Is there a good resource for cab prices?
I was talking about myself. There's a lot of great arcade games that I played on consoles or emulators.
