What are the most adictive arcade games... - you've ever played?

I have three.

Space Lords: A very inovative game. A space simulator kinda like Wing Comander. What made the game so fun was that the machine was actually 3 cabinates in one. Get two more friends and you can play either co-op or battle mode against eachother. That's not all. Each ship could also have a gunner. So that's a total of six people playing, three pilots and three gunners. When you actually started playing, unlike most space simulators you were thrown right into the action. Also unlike most space simulators you didn't fight nothing but individual fighters flying around. These enemies flew in attack formations. Most dogfights would consist of you vs. 3 or 4 fighters at one time. Don't forget that they decided to include nebulas that reduce visability and make missles lose track of you, and asteroid fields to maneuver through. What truly makes this game amazing is the fact it was made around 1993.

Cadash: Side scrolling rpg is pretty much what this is. You choose between several characters, and go on a truly massive adventure. This has gotta be one of the longest arcade games I've ever played. This is one of the few games I've ever spent more than 3 dolars on. It's also one of the hardest games I've ever played. about 2 of those 3 dollars were spent on the first boss.

Freedom Fighter: A game along the same lines as Dragon's Lair, and Space Ace. It has two big differences though. 1: Unlike those two games, this one is an anime. 2: It doesn't require you to press directions acording to a light sequence.
This game also has a kickass storyplot. I haven't played this game in years, but I can still remember most of it. It starts with the lead character, a young boy running through an allyway being chased by two humanoid robots. Suddenly he runs into an old man who quickly pulls out a gun and takes out one of them in a single shot. He takes out the second one too, but not before it shoots him. The boy checks to see if the man is ok. He tells him that he's gonna die. He hands the boy the gun and tells him there'll be more comming and that it's the most acurate gun ever made. "It can shoot the wings off a knat at 100 yards". Imediatly afterwards he dies, and more robots show up. Here's where the fun begins. There are two different scenes that they show here at random. They can also be reversed. You gotta take out the robots, and quickly get out of there before either an armoy of these guys show up, or a tank arives. The story also splits acording to which scene they show. If it's the tank you die, but if it's the group of robots you get captured and have the chance to escape. It's a very very fast paced game.

Columns. Plus, it was the only game where my mom could actually kick my ass. My best level was 65. She got all the way up to 130. If she pressed B to fast-drop the jewels... They went slower!! Laugh

Definitely Virtual On. It's a fighting game where you play as a giant 'mech fighting another giant 'mech. It's so much fun it's mind boggling, and I'm so good that I could start hustling at the arcades.

Lucky & Wild!!!

My bro and I are the 1337 duo at that game, we just never get tired of finishing it over and over again! He drives, and I shoot ... with both guns!

You should try playing House of the Dead 2 with both guns. lol I was kickin ass till I got to the first boss. I started forgeting which gun to reload. Dizzy

Heyhey, that looks like a challenge. The good thing about lucky and wild was that you had no needs to reload! And the pistols were automatics <_< ...don't think it makes the game all too easy, you'd realize how impossible that game would be if we had to reload every 9 bullets.
