Cozmic's dream arcade

by cozmicaztaway

So if I had the room for it, these are the arcade games I'd be pretty stoked about owning. Warning, heavy 90's nostalgia incoming, as well as some "I never played this but" moments.

Sega Super GT

Sega Super GT

Daytona USA is a pretty cool game, and has a ton of ports all over the place. Scud Race has none, but it does have some really cool tracks, and 90's Sega is just the best.

Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack

Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack

Just LA Machineguns, or maybe both. Yes, there's a Wii verion, but unless your arms go numb from the endless recoil it just doesn't count. Played this at Sega World in London when I was 12, and I remember it as some of the most awesome moments ever.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield

Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield

I worry this thing might be too "simplistic" for what the presentation is, because it's not really Steel Battalion, but it's one of those cool things the arcades have going for it at the moment.

Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force

Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force

Never did get to play Virtual-On the "proper" way with two sticks, and this one seems to be an arcade exclusive, so get!

Time Crisis

Time Crisis

Somewhere in the vaults of possessions that are either mine or my brothers, this game and a Guncon are lying around for the PS1. But that's a hassle, and the arcade version seems cooler.

Planet Harriers

Planet Harriers

I'd take a home-port of this, I really would. But man, this seems very cool. Also, the reason we didn't get a home port might be because this game was YEARS ahead of others in some things, but now Phong-shading is old hat so it's doable now!

G-LOC Air Battle

G-LOC Air Battle

Almost purely for the R360-cabinet version, because try and replicate that in your average couch.

F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa

F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa

If you're gonna showcase how crazy arcades can be, this seems like a good one to use. Yes, home racing sims have gotten ever more crazy (thanks PC!), but this is still something special. 4 Naomi boards!? For one game!? Crazy.

Virtua Cop 3

Virtua Cop 3

The other ones are classics, but they had home ports, so we're going with this one. It better be good, or else it drags the glorious name of Virtua Cop down.

Fuck your balance board, Wii!
