if you decide to go for Novastorm, the best cabinet would be a AB deluxe  ;D

Could me make an arcade based on a Philips P2000T  ;D

It would run
Don't be fooled by the Teletext graphics, this is one of the best space shooters ever, beating Galaga with ease.

I hope it's not too late to join in! I would love to have arcade versions of Dogs of war (Amiga) and Supercars 2.

Nope, not to late.
Dogs of War was awesome, TIMBO(F5) and I could complete it :D :D - it´s like Commando, with a wider selection of weapons :)1

Project-X will be nice :-*

YES!!!! And why not Body Blows?
Dreaming of a Namco Galaxian waiting in a barn for me... somewhere! A Nintendo Sheriff would also make me happy. And a SNK Sasuke Vs Commanders or a SEGA Samurai... Argh too many; in fact!

Yes, it's quite hard. It would eat people's coins, and make operators happy. :D Without TIMBO+F5 I would die very fast!  :oops:

I also think Galaga 88 for the PC-Engine deserves an arcade. That might sound weird, but it isn't. The game is better than the original arcade version, so we could have another better Galaga arcade based on the PC Engine version.

Hm.. I played both a lot. What makes the PC Engine-version better in your eyes?
Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!

Holy fuck. As much as I like the idea they butchered a Wizard of Wor for this?!

1) It is a bit easier, I think that makes it more fun for an occasional game.
2) The music, it sounds so much better than on the arcade.
3) Victory. Again a music thing, on the PC-E you are rewarded with maybe the best ever 8-bit stereo Victory Tune. On the arcade, victory is plain boring, after suffering a way tougher fight.

This is arcade victory:

It was very difficult to find this soundtrack on youtube, almost evert longplayer has the tunes muted. Probably the tunes are recognized by some DMCA take-down bot and therefore muted as preventive measure, whereas the PC Engine tune is probably incognito with all its 8-bit edges.

Probably not.
Archon it's a mix of action and strategy.
It's a real "chess battle" (..perhaps it's ispired the PC game..) in arcade style.
..I spend many afternoon when I was child in first '80, to try to win a game against C64.... really hard I remember..
