What is your second most favorite arcade game?


Sphere

Recommended Posts

​Hey Guys,

 

I am looking to expand my collection of arcade games and in the meantime I think I have a nice understanding of what the best and greatest games are. I am however interested in understanding what your second most favorite games are. In other words which games are still the hidden gems of arcade games?

 

Looking forward to your suggestions and it would be great to understand the reasons behind your choice as well.

 

Regards,

 

Pieter

Thats a nice selection of games. I dont know what your current collection is like. But I tend to focus on certain areas. For example Im very into fighting games, so I collect for specific systems like Saturn and Neo Geo, and mainly focus on the fighters. Followed closely by shmups. I recommend the website Racket boy, they have lots of hidden gems guides also lots of recommended games guides.

Crush Roller, under appreciated classic. Ask any of the boys playing in the MGL and they'll tell you....

 

Your list tells me your not into older classics, maybe try Raiden, Atomic Robo Kid and Psychic 5

Street Fighter 2 & friends might be my first love, but Dance Dance Revolution will forever have the second place in my heart.

 

Keep hoping that when I get the extensions built, that I'll be able to find one locally buried away at some Operator's warehouse or something. Can dream anyway :)
