Classic Arcade Games

Man I miss arcades. So much fun.

The Simpsons side scrolling beat-em-up
The Xmen beat-em-up
and there was this one other awesome robot game that I can't remember the name of it. Two robots fighting in an arena and you used two joy sticks to play. Best game ever

You're talking about Virtual On, right? It was a brilliant game. I had it on Sega Saturn and played it to death!

My most memorable arcade experience was playing Marvel vs. Capcom (it might have been 2, I can't remember) one one of the arcade machines outside of Wal Mart. I loved being able to play as all the different comic book characters.

I now own the game for the ps2, which I was surprised to learn is selling on ebay for anywhere from $80 - $100, because of it's rarity and demand.

Another awesome experience was playing a Street Fighter game (can't remember which) in an arcade while on vacation in Tennessee. This was only a few years ago, but the machine was older and only cost 25 cents to play, and you could play for a very long time on that amount of money. I spent almost an entire night on it.
