Capcom Arcade Cabinet Takes You Back to the Halcyon Days of 1986

Wait, another one?

Aah, it's the next add-on for this. Is this the final one?

This can't be true. I was born near the end of 1986. How could things have come out before I was alive? Everyone knows the world didn't exist before me.

you cant stop the (insert thing)

Halcyon? Is Rick Dyer involved?!

I remember a lot of arcade games in the southeast US, but I don't think I ever saw any of these mid 80's capcom games. I wonder what was up with that.

Lord, we had the fighting games though.

I really wish CAPCOM could release their sales data on this. Who is buying this!?

Were gonna party like it's 1986 up in Capcom Arcade Cabinet.

I would love an XBLA pack of Halcyon games.

Still waiting for that pack to buy all of the games, because they really muffed up the idea of this by not offering a season pass for it at the start.

Halcyon, interesting choice of words.

Alex, have you joined the Family Guy school of writing where you reference past things on Giant Bomb just to play to fans and not necessarily because they fit? You need to take a good long look at yourself in the mirror. ;)

Halcyon motherfucker

@sweetz: Uh, is that a Giant Bomb thing? I was just using the term, because it means a calmer, more peaceful time.

If it is anything like gameroom, then yes.

Yep. Everyone is stupid except you.

@alex, @assinass: I know it's an actual saying, but I thought it might have been chosen in reference to this Halcyon, which featured prominently in the Unprofessional Fridays from Feb 1.

@undeadpool: Calm down card carrying GBDF member, my post was made completely in jest and was not a legitimate dig, which I had hoped would be made apparent by the smiley.

I think I bankrolled whole development projects with the quarters I fed into the Sidearms machine from my home town. Good, bad, whatever, I killed a lot of time and money on that machine.

Man 86,, what a good year!

@sweetz: I invoke Poe's Law!

The pasted together clips of BGM sound like a kid pounding randomly on an electric keyboard.

Side Arms was dope.
