Pick an Arcade Machine to Keep in Your House

Giant Bomb has largely sold me on a Warlords table, but otherwise I'd want a classic Space Invaders or Missile Command table.

Probably a Hydro Thunder cabinet, but it's a toss up between that and Gauntlet.

Galaga, the only arcade game I have even been any good at. Without the no compilation rule I would get one of those Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man cabinets since I'm not that much of a purest.

Discs of Tron, because I like to get my backwards lean going and I would be an instant legend in the arcade cabinet community for having a version of this classic that isn't sawed in half.

One of those Neo Geo multi game cabinets with all the good Metal Slug games on it. Or Robotron.

That podracer machine, it was pretty fun though they charged too much at my arcade. Or the Gauntlet (Legends maybe?) one where you could have up to maybe four players, that was great with friends.

WCCF Machine. sank more than $2,000 into this game.

Bubble Bobble or Gravitar! Probably Gravitar though who am I fooling.

This.

I want a japanese-style Neo-geo MVS running pretty much any of the first three metal slugs, or X.

That's my kinda thinking. I spent SO much time on this game.

I would want a custom MK9 cabinet, but for a real one I would want an MKII cabinet.

Afterburner

Jurassic Park railshooters, or House of the Dead railshooters.

@TranceQuina: Want? I already got mine!

Sunset riders, Perhaps a CPS2 game (Darkstalkers / Xmen / SSF2T) or 3-4 vrtuaRacing / sega rally cabinets

MK2 for the memories or Time Traveller because it's so weird.

Bubble Bobble.

Maybe House of the Dead, everybody likes lightgun shooters.

I'm kind of leaning towards a Sega Rally or Quake Arcade Tournament cabinet.

Rampage, Mortal Kombat, Contra or House of the Dead 2.

MK2 hands down

Any of the Rush racing games.

San Francisco Rush, with unlimited time.

a Capcom Aliens Vs Predator mostly for the childhood memories associated with it or a MK2 machine.

Smash TV or Scramble. Maybe a tabletop Warlords.

Metal Slug OOOOKKKAAAAY

I see that a some of the buttons have some dirt. ;P You should get Happ competition buttons to replace em.

WWF Wrestlefest.

Simpsons Arcade or the Star Wars Trilogy.

SSFIV:AE v.2012

NBA Jam Tournament Edition

Street Fighter 4

It's a bit big for my house but I've always dreamed of having all arguments settled with a best of three game. Don't fancy the washing up? Hadoken your way out of it.

i would love to have a street fighter cab probablly third strike or ssf4 ea 2012 as gamma_male said a great way to settle disputes and also can you imagine going round to somebody's house and they have a sf cab? you'd bust a nut.

failing that house of the dead 2 or 3 so much money spent on those back in the day.

Six player X-Men.

Already half-own a Punch-Out!! cabinet (went halfsies on it with a friend to put it in the barber shop he owns), so barring that I'll say MK1 or 2.

Street Fighter 2 turbo

Metal Slug, the TMNT game, the X-men Arcade game, or the Jurassic Park Rail shooter.

Hell, I plan to build one of my own at some point.

I'd love to have a Tekken Tag (1 or 2) cabinet. And man oh man, I'd love a skee ball machine. I know that's not an arcade cabinet, but there you go.

Anyone remember that Jurassic park game? 

F-Zero AX

A Samurai Shodown arcade machine

Money Idol Exchanger!

Motherfuck but that game is fun.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo cabinet would be great to have.

Ms. Pacman/Galaga cocktail cabinet

Street Fighter IV, Tempest or Die Hard

@Jack268: That game kicks ass!

But I'd have to pick Hydro Thunder, or maybe that jeep shaped Jurassic Park light gun game.
