Arcade

Platform »

Stand-alone machines that generally only play one video game each. Arcades hit their peak of popularity before home consoles took over the gaming public. Arcade games usually cost 25 cents per play. Known for the most cutting-edge technology of their time, arcades still have the largest video game library, and greatest variety of control methods, of any platform.

Favorite Arcade Games, GO!

Strider was good, but my favorites has to be Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat 2. Played those two a ton in the Arcade. Oh and this Terminator 2 game where you used a gun, that was pretty awesome in 2 player mode.

Time Crisis and Time Crisis 2, especially. I played them enough that I could beat them by only "continuing" once.
