Let´s limit it to max 5 games (for now) and dedicated games.. - With pictures!
State name of the game (doh!) - and why you want it...

I, myself is all ways looking - and there´s still dreams about the perfect setup...

1. Elevator Action - Because it´s a cool and addictive game!, and would be the 2nd Taito game in my Taito row  :D


2.
Canyon Bomber - Because one game is never enough!, cool design, simple and addictive game play.


3. Star Wars Cockpit - Because i have space (!) and after trying it at EC11, it´s a must!!!!


4. Empire Strikes Back Cockpit - If you have 2, you can all ways fit the 3rd, and a row of SWC´s must be heaven, sight wise...


5. Donkey Kong - Red cab (of course) because it´s epic, great looking, and DAMN hard!

I'm mostly a "pin-head" - but there are 3 dedicated arcade games I'd love to get my greasy little hands on  :)

1) Track & Field - My dad was never much of a computer-gamer, but this one game we could always agree on. I have a lot of memories of us playing it in arcades during summer vacations.

2) Bank Panic - This is the first game I recall being anywhere near good at. I still love the game play and design.

3) Star Wars / Empire - Those machines gobbled up a ton of my coins as a kid in the arcades, later I got the games for my C64, then it just gobbled up a ton of my time  :)

If there's one cabinet I want most, it's a SEGA Rally Championship twin.

A SEGA Rally Championship deluxe would also be nice.


There's just something about it that I love...
I enjoy reading about arcade cabinets. I don't own one though... :(

nice topic, and indeed, come on add pictures. That's half of the topic

(considering I had the money, space, gameroom everything, I would say, in random order)

Time Crisis II

a great shoot em up game to do with a friend. It's addictive and full of action



Popeye

I like the cabinet and the art. Great cartoon, classic game which I used to play on Game&Watch

Simpsons Pinball

As a Simpsons fan this one simply rocks. Nice art, and has that fresh early nineties Simpsons vibe over it

Street Fighter II Champion Edition

I have good memories playing this cab, although I never found out what the original dedicated cab was. I was only focused on playing the game, not the cab :)

BurgerTime

Great game to play and a nice cab to look at. I like the theme of flipping burgers too

Only 5??  ;D

Ikari Warriors: beautiful cabinet, love the Vietnam theme & original controls plus i have very found memories playing it on the NES


Double Dragon: Not much of a looker but still very high on my wanted list: Awesome music, game play (for a couple of times) and it's the perfect cab to play other Jamma pcb's.


Juno First: Great shooter with cool sound effects and graphics (the astronaut!). I almost owned one but decided to get a moon patrol instead.


Burgertime: Not much to say here, it's simply beautiful and very fun.


Tempest: I really need a vector game and this is one of the best: cool concept, nice controls and love the art...

Ah toooo damn hard to limit it to five cabs, but as I've landed two grails the past week (more on that once they arrive), it makes it a bit easier.  ;D

1. Juno First

- probably my favourite game, and I love the cab as well.

2. Tempest cabaret:

- gotta have a vector game in here, and you can't go wrong with Tempest. This is so hip I'd want it in my livingroom.

3. Universal Mr. Do

- a party hit! Me and my father in law regularly plays this game.

4. Bosconian:

- would look great next to my Namco Rally-X.

5. Double Dragon:

- the ultimate two player JAMMA cab. Easy board switch from the front, cool art.

edit: hahah, Gyruss! Seems we have similar tastes! We posted three out of five similar games at the same time.  ;D
