Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 I absolutely cannot fucking do Robocop at all. I always get killed by the first fucker with a chainsaw on level 2, without fail. Bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Deaq Posted March 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2011  Everytime I saw this in an Arcade in a Butlins or Pontins as a kid I almost pissed myself with excitement. There weren't any Arcades in my home town, so the chance to play it only came round every so often. A real treat. The artwork on the machine always made it seems so much more special than those other drab black boxes. The sound always seemed to be blasting out too.   Brilliant.  I have 1 of these.  My fav has to be this 1 tho. Double Dragon  It was prob the 1st time I ever finished a arcade game also, I remember my mate at the time knew we would have to fight each other as soon as the boss with the gun got killed. So as soon as he dies he is all ready to kick my ass, he tries to do a flying kick but misses hits the wall to witch I throw a well timed elbow and he falls into the spikes at the bottom of the screen. I loved the weapons and the bid Obo things that would clap there hands and squash your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Half the fun of Double Dragon is kicking the shit out of your mate, then saying "no, no, ok let's play seriously" and then as soon as he turns round flying kicking him again. Â That Turtle cabinet brings back memories. I'm sad to say my house isn't big enough to have a room to put arcade machines in, otherwise I'd be tempted to buy one of these.

Reznor Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Where do i start? Â I used to love all the Sega games in their big cabinests. Â The original Turbo, Outrun, Hang On, Afterburner, Thunderblade, Enduro Racer, Powerdrift & Space Harrier, then later on Virua Racing, Daytona and Sega Rally. Â From other developers, i was a big fan of Chase HQ, Cisco Heat, Continental Circus, and Big Run. Â Then the other types of games - fighters, platformers and the like - Gryzor, Midnight Resistance, Final Fight, Mercs, Return of the Jedi, the Turtles game someone above mentioned, P.O.W, Wrestlefest, Virtua Fighter...... Â It's tough to narrow it down. On nostalgia alone, Turbo probably. It was one of the first i played and enjoyed in the late 80s, but i later found out it was actually made in the early 80s which is amazing. Then again, Outrun was so much fun at the time, and damn, that music...... On the other hand, a bit more recently, Daytona and Sega Rally just blew you away at the time. Â I was easily pleased admittedly. About the only driving game i really hated was Hard Drivin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My co-op gaming experiences before DD never allowed you to start smacking around your team-mate. What great fun.  "Ok, ok, ok I won't do it anymore! Let's just fight the baddies" * Continues attacking team mate to the anger of player 2 *   Legendary stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
