Found this absolute treasure at a client’s place today! My favorite arcade machine of all time. And no, the drinks aren’t mine, haha.
Man, that’s my top arcade game ever. Totally jealous of that setup!

This one, TMNT, and the Simpsons arcade game—pure gold back then.

Don’t forget The Punisher! And Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker… as strange as it was, it was such a fun game.
@Sage
Moonwalker was such a trip!

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara and Tower of Doom were up there for me. All those Konami and Capcom side-scrollers were amazing.
@Cade
Ah, a person of taste, I see.
@Cade
Tower of Doom was first, but both are solid picks.

My all-time fave was Aliens vs. Predator. It’s up there with TMNT and X-Men, but it just didn’t catch on in the same way.

Same here! Grew up playing this all the time.
Whoa, that’s the rare big screen version!

Saw my local arcade get one of these back in the day. People lined up just to watch it get set up and be first to play!

That sounds so epic!
@Zyler
Wish I could’ve seen that in person!
Played this once on a school trip. Everyone swapped in and out, just playing a few quarters at a time. I got to play Wolverine, Dazzler (we called her Jubilee from the cartoon), and Nightcrawler. It’s the old arcade classics like this, Simpsons, and Turtles in Time that really hit the nostalgia.
@Davi
Nightcrawler’s special was totally OP! He was always my pick.
@Davi
8-player co-op was a big deal back then. Now it’s expected, but it was huge back then!
Colossus’ roar is burned into my memory.

Thank you! I thought it was just me. That sound is still in my brain.
