I always preferred home console over arcade. At the arcade, people always came to challenge you and horde the damn machine.

I played a lot of arcades, but I never really got into the 1-on-1 fighting game craze. And the old 70s and early 80s games were before my time. I grew up in the NES and 16-bit wars era. Some of my favorites:

-Aero Fighters
-Area 51
-Altered Beast
-CarnEvil
-Golden Axe
-House of the Dead
-Metal Slug *insert number here*
-The Punisher
-Raiden 1 & 2
-Spider-Man (beat-em up never released on consoles)
-Star Wars Trilogy
-Streets of Rage
-Superman (never released on consoles)
-Super Mario Bros.
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game
-Time Crisis 1 & 2
-X-Men (4-player beat-em up never released on consoles)

-Nate-

Seems House of the Dead is on everyone's list.

Has anyone on here used Mame? I was thinking of downloading it to play the old arcade games but wanted to get some feedback on it first.

TMNT
X-MEN
Ultimate MK3
And I think the first Houses of the Dead was the one shooting game I used to play often.
Do pinball and skeeball count? Because I used to play those a lot more than stand-up games.

My favorite pinball was Star Wars. Tommy played a lot of pinball
