Couple stand out to me:
-
Seeing Virtua Fighter for the first time back in what 1993 or so at an amusement park and being wowed by the graphics, thinking it was photo realistic.
-
Seeing Mortal Kombat 2 on a big screen CRT cabinet and thinking I was going to go to hell because of the violence (lol).
-
Playing X-Men with my dad and his friend and his kid on a 6 player machine that had widescreen, very cool for the time.
-
Pumping endless quarters into Aliens vs Predator (one of my favorite arcade games).
-
Seeing some dude beat Tekken Tag which I could never clear and thinking he was the coolest.
Arcades were great. A dream of mine is to visit a game center in Japan and play some of the classics on an actual machine.
Two titles I played on the dreamcast! Console was perfect for arcade ports.
Crazy Taxi in the full immersion arcade is a whole different experience. So much fun.
Did it have Offspring in the soundtrack?
Of course! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjIGkv0_dEM
