It's like 99% underage retards.
The Punisher arcade beat em up was a favorite of mine. It was in a corner store for a while by ny house.

you pretty much covered all the important ground. Now if you want to talk about best arcade shooter...

Hang in there bro. I have a decent life myself. Just getting maybe too old to keep up with the boys here.

>almost 30
>first on Yea Forums when I was a teenager
It'll happen to you.
It doesn't get any better.
All the good threads get deleted and it pisses me off.

I'm a zoomer who had that at my local Chuck e cheese when I was 7. Owning it on console doesn't feel the same at all.

Yeah McDonalds even had them here.

Me too user, my life is shit and it doesn't seems it will get better.

X-Man, Tekken 7 and other classics
Gremlins, Mario 3, Tetris, etc.
Kong, Mortal Kombat, Pacman, Metroid
Metal Gear Red
Rak Dragon
Flamenco
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Street Fighter IV
F-Zero (in the classic game mode with a 3 player mode)
The Wonderful 101
The Dungeons... 11. Adventures of Dax
Wizards-A-Thon
Final Fours
The Lost Vikings
Grandpa Scrooge: The Lost Treasure of Kettleblack Mountain

A new trend is that its okay to be under 30 here if you found the place as a teen but god forbid you found it in your early 20s.

Is shellshock live good? It seemed similar to scorched earth.

found the underage v&

As a kid, about 5 or 6, I would always choose Dazzler in this game and Lisa in the Simpsons game. I don't why I would always choose girl characters, but I'm surprised I didn't turn out gay. Also my favorite color was pink.

34 years old, 35 in a few years here.
I would discuss videogames that are dear to my heart, but it would be a waste. Threads like this one are just people clinging desperately to the past and repeating to themselves "old good new bad" non-stop while arrogantly and callously dismissing everything else. I avoid Yea Forums's pre-2000 anime general thread for the same reason.

That's all what I had to say.

>going to the arcade as a kid and hopping on this or the Simpsons game
>playing alone pumping in quarters until some random strangers come up and ask to join to help
>pretty soon it's a full cab and everyone is best friends, laughing and shouting and doing their best to try to beat the bosses
>you run out of money or mom starts calling so you have to leave, the friendship ends as quickly as it began but you'll remember it forever
Zoomers will never know this feel...

>wonders how to buy this model of doll

Anyone remember a top down beat-em-up that had early 3d graphics, maybe something along the lines of a dreamcast? It was set in modern times and I think there were guns/weapons to pick up. I remember the cab was a sit down one that had a really big screen. I wish I could be more specific.

sometimes having variety just makes life feel more lively than doing the same things over and over for 20 years and being mad that some generic samurai game made it impossible to do so on a big stage
i generally used homer but lisa and marge were also fun
bart was kind of the donatello with his animations at least if not his range and everyone would pick him because muh bart

This place was a warzone for kids

man you might as well be referring to ikari warriors nes/arcade

>Threads like this one are just people clinging desperately to the past and repeating to themselves "old good new bad" non-stop while arrogantly and callously dismissing everything else.

Really, please give me one example of someone doing that in this thread. So far it's people reminiscing about a bygone time and lamenting that the younger generation won't know how fun it was.

>ikari warriors
No not like that. I said it was 3d and it wasn't military themed either. You were either in street clothes or were police and the game took place in a city. I remember it being top down but because it was 3d the perspective might have shifted a bit during certain sections.

The only arcade 3d beatem up I remember is Die Hard arcade.

In theory these places were great. I. Reality they’re just cesspools of other kids piss.

Damn dude, that may actually be it. I don't remember enough of it to say it definitely was it, but it looks pretty similar to my memory. It's either this or something close to it. Thanks!

Change your mindset user. Try to live in the moment and don't worry about the past, or worrying about some legacy you're meant to leave behind. Become your own man.

32 here...everything feels stale since I took mushrooms and figured out the universe.

The only other game I remember being like die hard arcade was dynamite cop.

Wait this is way more familiar, especially that octopus boss. It's the sequel to the other game so no wonder it looked familiar. This was definitely it. Good job user. It's no wonder I didn't remember any Die Hard references. Weird how this one wasn't a movie tie in like the first game.

Things you don't think about as a child.

>never had enough people to fill it
>even at parties some kids didn't want to join
One thing I will weep at my death bed.

I found this place in my early 20s
I'm 32, kill me

>Old man that was born in 85.
>Sold almost none of my games/consoles because I was crazy.
>Still got my original complete copy of this.

So happy this is coming to the genesis mini but a handheld version on switch would be nice. Used to play this all the time on my Nomad. Fingers crossed for that Contra collection.

Until you’re crawling in the tubes and some sperg kid with a runny nose that he keeps picking crawls into the tube you’re in and pisses all over the place leaving you trapped with no way out with out touching snot or piss.

God why does that day still haunt me? I never asked for this.

Really hope 1up arcade gets on that 4/ to 6 player cabs

Building a massive 1up arcade in your home is literally the boomer trend right now.

I remember going there for my birthday and stepping on vomit in the tubes. That completely ruined my day.

Hahaha yeah right, don't forget you're here forever.

Jesus. I never had experiences this bad although I remember my wrist getting sore from crawling around in the tubes while wearing those wristbands they forced you to wear.

More like the most bullshit hard arcade shooter because god damn was this hard. Just protecting John Conner at the start on the car was a nightmare.

This was my first experience with video games.

I had this one.

Double Screen X-Men is the BEST arcade game ever, when you get all 6 players and the sound is blaring, there's nothing like it.

GODDAMN i do not remember these things looking this ancient. holy shit does time fly.

For me it was how sore my knees got from the older boys making me suck there dicks in the no-go spots of the tubes.

This used to be my favorite place in the world when I was 5. Also it's fucking weird how this image looks exactly how I remember it.

i had no idea it had an arcade game. had it on nes and it was one of the hardest games i owned. probably still is.

ironically the arcade version is a lot easier

I never played it because it was always broken.

This thing never stood a chance against my jerking arm.

The arcade game was great. I'd be down for an Arcade1UP cabinet having this, both TMNT arcade games, X-Men, and Simpsons, but would be unlikely due to licensing issues.

It was my dream for the longest time to own one of those cabinets.

At least we were lucky enough to see arcades at their peak, and non cancerous DLC-free gaming.

Surely, ball pits are a thing of the past by now. Aside from being a hard-to-clean petri dish of snot, piss, and fecal matter, I'm sure the urban myths of syringes and snakes in ball pits scared enough parents.

If you didn't turn your hat backwards before playing this you were a fag

I'm currently on holiday at a UK seaside resort. And every now and then you find something that makes your boomercore light up.

There it was, in the corner of one of the arcades...

Daaaaaaaaytoooooooooonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Daaaaaaaaytoooooooooonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

They're mostly gone, but some still remain.
My favorite laser tag place turned into one of these, and it's absolute hell.

I did that with the sniper game.

Holy fuck, user. Good taste.

north NJ. at that time was too young to head down their just for an arcade, but definely chilled up here

We use to have a bowling alley with around 8 or so all lined up. People would spend all night racing each other while drinking. A pro nascar driving would even come play and hang out every so often.

just an arcade...nigger they had a rollercoaster, lazer tag, tilt a whirl, bumper cars, tubes, all indoors

that would be a supreme setup. id buy that too.

I still hate myself for that. I forget when I did it for my NES games but I explicitly remember doing it to my SNES/Genesis games when I was maybe 10 or 11 because I wanted to file them in a cabinet drawer and they wouldn't fit otherwise. Then I think I trashed my TMNT/GIJoes/etc figurines when I was going through my angsty I'M AN ADULT teenage phase. Of course all that shit is a gold mine now. Of course.

All the co-op Beat 'em ups mentioned were a treat but this fucker right here was set up in a Korean owned mom and pop donut shop and god knows the amount of time I spent on it accompanied by all the second hand smoke since it was before that shit was outlawed just about everywhere.
