Computer games which deserve an original dedicated arcade?
« on: March 30, 2014, 07:50:48 PM »
Hi folks,

got a few spare cabinets and while talking to some friends these days (and seeing even Superully puts PC Engines into cabs) - which computer game (e.g. Amiga) deserve an original dedicated arcade?

I would loved to build one from my remaining cabinets. And would be a nice test for my upcoming printer/plotter :)

Katakis as a perfect R-Type Clone comes to my mind....and what about a 3-Player International Karate+ or 2 Player Speedball Sporting game..Shadow of the Beast will make a nice artwork..ahhh..so many options ::)

Speaking of this - which would be the perfect cabinet design according to the members here? Midway, Nintendo etc.?
Normally computer games only need one button.

A Sit Down Wing Commander cabinet would also be my favorite ;-)

I think a game like Super Frog could work on arcade.. The SOTB series could also work, and the art could look killer!!
The Turrican could defenetely work!

Not a doubt on my Mind:

Alley Cat, of course the original A8 version.







....and Dropzone. 1 machine exists....made by the developer of the game :)

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved ! (see).
Works with two joysticks! Like Robotron.
Damn it, in addition of a dedicated cab, this *awesome* game would also deserve a vector color monitor!  :)
