What is your all time favorite arcade machine?
« on: January 20, 2013, 09:24:13 PM »
Hope it is ok that i open this topic.
I have 3 all time fav´s in my list
First: Dragon´s Lair, from the first moment i fall in love as i see it 1983, i was 12 years old, and yet now 30 years later i build my own DL machine :)
Second: The Ninjawarriors, i try to find one of the tree screen machines, but never i found one. for me the music from level one is one of the best what i ever hear in a arcade machine from this time. Unbelievable what TAITO makes 1987 with the sound-chips.
Last: Donkey Kong, i can´t remember how much coins i drop in, a long time i put in all my pocket money in this nintendo monster :)

And what´s your all time favorite machine?
(edit)
Damn, i see i post in the wrong category :( maybe a admin can shift this topic.... sorry for that
