Your favourite Arcade Games?

I didn't include some earlier classics like River Raid, Space Invaders etc. If I hadn't narrowed down the scope, there would be plenty of games missing.

So mostly from the 90s, what is your favourite arcade game? Or else, out of the list which "other" is your favourite?

Mine is Dungeons & Dragons - Shadow over Mystara.

I used to be like a grandmaster in lots of fighting games. My favourite has always been Street Fighter II', regarding "challenges".

Raguy is one of the most underrated games that I know. Awesome fun.

This list includes mostly my favourite games, yet I also tried to include various types of games.

Note: There are zibillions of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat etc. versions. So for example if you like Street Fighter Alpha II, just pick Street Fighter and specify your favourite version on the comments section. Same can be applied to the games with more than one versions.

Phoenix, probably.

How the hell do you have a Shadow Priest as your avatar and misspell Mortal Kombat on your poll?!

Did I write it Combat? OMFG. I'll immediately change it if possible. BTW I changed my avatar, but before seeing your post. Coincidence.

Coincidence.  I'm just teasing my man! GREAT THREAD in all honesty, breath of fresh air here lol. I'm a 90's arcade vet, grew up then. Super biased for that level of nostalgia. Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Turtles in Time, Contra, etc!  I'm lucky enough to live here in NH where we have FunSpot; the biggest arcade museum in the country .

Thanks. 

Arcades were great, and never replaceable by comfortable console gaming at home. Even the arcade joystick is not enough for anyone to breathe that atmosphere and enjoy the vibe. I spent tremendous time and money in the arcades, from the mid 80s until mid 2000s. I haven't much from then on, as they aren't as used to be. Just like forum culture, arcade culture is diminishing. That experience had, and still has no equal.

Coco Savage baby.

Dragon's Lair. Old style animation with individually drawn cells. React the right way with the joystick at the right time and the optimal scenario for the hero occurs. Not a good game really, but my friends and I liked animation and sword & sorcery type fantasy, so we played it and played it again and again and had a wonderful time despite how primitive the game was. We finally got through it to the end.

You don't have Galaxians or Space Invaders on the list. They were my favourite arcade games.
