Definitely Galaga. Galaga is so much more fun with a joystick.

Was that in the arcades?!

The thread is about arcade games (as in games in arcade cabinets played in "The Arcades") as opposed to a generic term for a video game in an arcade style.

Japan did get a Mario Kart arcade machine. You could even play as PacMan. Saw it in a gaming mag a while ago. Id love a Marvel vs Capcom arcade machine. Play it all the time on my PSP

Yes there was an Mario Kart arcade machine. It was different from any of the home versions as well.

It was released in other territories, there is one in Paignton Pier (Bacteria should know where that is

)

Cruisin' USA or Space Duel.

The former because I played it at Wal-Mart every chance I got, the latter because everyone's heard of Asteroids and 80s vector Atari games kick butt.

(It's also the only multiplayer vector Atari game, apparently.)

My grandparents have a Space Duel cabinet, actually. It sorta works but unfortunately the Pokey died, so no sound. I don't know if the one out of the Atari 800 is compatible. If anyone knows if it is, drop me a line at the usual address. (the PM or email button).
