I actually found a working Simpsons arcade game in a pizza place last year. My wife didn't understand until I got her to play too.

I loved San Francisco Rush as well as the 2049 sequel. I and a friend got pretty damn good at it and spent quite a bit of money too, hah.

The Simpsons game and X-Men are also favorites of mine, mostly due to the fact that they were installed on the BC Ferries ships that went between Swartz Bay and Tswassen. For anyone that grew up in the CRD or in the Lower Mainland they know what the ferry arcades ment on that 90 minute voyage of boredom. The crappy thing is that about five or six years ago BC Ferries made a decision to ban all violent video games from their on board arcades, removing a lot of good titles.

What the hell? They got a 2nd IIDX machine? Damn I hate you northeasters. I miss our old 8th style ; ;

**BRP** · 2008-10-20 20:26

Where is TGA exactly? I really want to go there...

Screw the rules, SFIII is the pinnacle of Fighting game goodness.

Virtua Fighter II and Tekken 3 brought me alot of happy arcade memories too.

**Charismatic** · 2008-10-20 20:31

Oh I agree Krandor, it's my favorite game, I only didn't post it because of BRP's OP.

It's in northeastern Massachusetts. I come from way south, so it's a little over an hour for me, but it's only 20-30 minutes outside of Boston I think. I miss when it used to be in RI. I still remember freezing my balls off on a February morning when they got their first IIDX 7th (I think it's now their IIDX Gold). The cab + TV wouldn't fit through the back door, so we had to wheel it around a corner and up a hill on the street. Must've looked like we just robbed a store or something lol

EDIT: I'll be there on November 1st for SF4 and KoF98 UM tournaments. If anyone else from the northeast is going to be there, shoot me a PM or something.

Alpine Racer
Daytona USA
The Simpsons
TMNT
X-Men

**JetEnduro** · 2008-10-21 08:24

I've yet to go to the new TGA in Winchedon. I used to go to the one in RI quite a bit before they moved.

**Charla** · 2008-10-21 15:39

You guys are too oldschool. I never played an arcade cabinet regularly until GGXX.

**volcanicweather** · 2008-10-21 16:20

X-Men: I make a point to beat it every year at the Minnesota State Fair arcade with friends, nightcrawler is by far the best, loljubilee is the worst

Street Fighter II: Classic, Vega was by far the coolest character but sucked so bad =/ totally worthless against even the biggest noobs with e.honda and chun li

Mortal Kombat: I made a lot of older kids angry at me beating them in this game as a youngster

Final Fight: Another classic, always played it at a pizza joint in my hometown

TETRIS: They still have one at First Ave. in Minneapolis (one of the more popular club/music venues) and I play it from time to time if opening acts are bad. I tell friends to beware though because I can play 30+ minutes off one quarter if I'm not too drunk

Bust-A-Move: I remember always going to this pizza place after math masters (like math club, I went to a small school so the smart kids who played basketball were in it to get out of class) competitions and the machine was broken so you could play 2 player Bust-A-Move for free... lots of epic matches happened there
