OMFG - Arcade opening soon in Saarfhaampton!!

[Eps]

Obviously I'm going to want to list a big ****-off load of Cave shooting games, but being realistic I know that it's a minority of us that really love them. Therefore Batsugun would be a great choice for the second shooter: it's a mixture of old and new styles, so should have a wider appeal.

Just one thing though. Specially on the shooting and fighting game cabs: USE GOOD JOYSTICKS AND BUTTONS!! Spending a little extra to get replacement Sanwa/Seimitsu parts in from Japan will reap rewards, as members travel from afar to play at an arcade that not only has all the classic games and niche hits they want, but also does not have crappy worn out joysticks and buttons on the cabs.

This all sounds very cool and i move to Southampton next month so count me in.

[SegaMark]

That sounds excellent, I wish someone would do the same up here.

How much does an Arcade cost to start up ya reckon? Someone loaded around Manchester should get one sorted.

Who knows, I may travel down someday and support it.

[carbon boy]

Have to support all the shouts for Double Dragon.

Going out on a limb here but I can also remember throwing ten pence pieces at classics such as Bomb Jack and POW Camp. On a side note, is it actually legal to start up a retro arcade without PacMan and Space Invaders...?

[J0e Musashi]

fist of the north star?

Think that would eat the rest of the budget though

So saying that why do you suggest all of these other premium titles then?

king of fighters XI

melty blood

aliens vs predator

[Street Turk]

Surely Aliens Vs Predator is not premium!?!?

Oh, and it is POW-Not POW 'Camp'....

[babs]

Also POW is terrible now, as much as I loved it way-back-when.

Toki?

Also I remember Psychic 5 being very popular with people. Also some Bonze Adventure love

Not as expensive as the other 2 mentioned, but its not cheap for a CPS-2 considering its age.

[Street Turk]

Oh..never realised. Guess it is popular cos it has aged very well.

Weird how games like POW are ****e now but others like AVP are excellent.

Bit like films really...

Another vote for Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo...or even better: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection...

Goodge St Casino have this so it cant be that expensive!!

Have you actually played Melty Blood? It's extremely hard to get hold of. I don't know that it can be played anywhere in the UK.

Deffo Toki, I hadn't thought about that game for years.
