| I was a huge fan of Pac-man, Miss Pac-man, Tempest, Centipede, Astoroids, Joust, and Galaga. I'll hunt for shot pix of them later to post. |

| I'm a big pinball and arcade fan. [brag on]These are in the same room as my star wars collection.[brag off]   Also got a upright generic arcade cabinet and cocktail (tabletop) arcade cabinet running MAME. There was a massive gap in my vintage collection due to these machines  Perhaps I am not a TRUE vintage collector after all |

Unfortunately I never got into Double Dragon in the arcades. It is a favorite game of mine, but I am more familiar with the NES version.
Speaking of games like that, one I also forgot to mention was Final Fight. I was really disappointed when it was ported to the SNES and didn't have Guy or two player mode. The later Sega CD version was a lot closer to the arcade.My Collection | Ebay Feedback | RS Feedback | TiG FeedbackAFA U GRADE - READ  |

| I love Golden Axe. I ended up getting it on SNES and played the hell out it. Turtles was fun too, if you had someone playing with you. Hell, makes me want to go get a cabinet now. |

| Awesome little arcade setup that. My current pinball lineup is Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Doctor Who.. 3 of my favourite things  That Star Wars looks to be in OK condition. They just require maintenance unfortunately. |

| Great pictures guys, thanks for sharing! I knew you would enjoy this subject Shawn  Shame that most of the arcades I visited in my youth have also closed down long ago. |

| For anyone who goes to Vegas and feels like playing pinball instead of the slots, here is the pinball museum that I mentioned. They have lots of games from several decades. My Collection | Ebay Feedback | RS Feedback | TiG FeedbackAFA U GRADE - READ  |

| Only just seen this thread! I used to work in an arcade giving out change when i was a teenager & i used to play on: Crystal Castles, Robotron, Double Dragon, 1942, Operation Wolf, Street Fighter, Nemesis, King of Boxer, Green Beret, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Splatterhouse, Dragons Lair, Tron, Star Wars & ROTJ-Don't ever remember seeing ESB as an arcade game! All the girls used to play on Wonderboy for some strange reason! |

Double dragon is quality. BUT I remember an arcade game in the late 80's early 90's which was platform and not bad graphics and was a kinda jungleman with a giant kinda yoyo which he flicked out and bashed creatures with and I cantr remember what it was called. It was wicked. His giant yoyo was more liek a kinda stone/rock yoyo. Sorry thats all I can remember  |
