Alien vs Predator was an awesome game too. And who can forgot Street Fighter II and all its incarnations.

Too bad arcades are going the way of the dinosaurs. I remember the days when I would beat the following with one token: Double Dragon, Golden Axe, and Side Arms. And Sega produced some of their best games to date: Shinobi, Outrun, Afterburner, and Space Harrier.

Can't remeber the name but this game had two "rambo like" fighters. It was a birds eye view setup, and the knob of the joystick would turn in order to turn your guy. I loved this game, and am ashamed for forgetting the name!

That?s one of my favorite game ever: Heavy Barrel.

You collect the six pieces of the uber-weapon (called Heavy Barrel) along the way. It counts up he pieces in an ominous voice??ONE??.TWO??..

When you get the sixth and final piece:
SIX???.HHHHHHHEEEEAAAVVVVVVVVYYYYYYY BARRRRRRRRELLLLLLLL!!!!!!

God, I miss that game. Looks like I will have to add some LS-30?s and a Druin?s to my MAME cab real soon J

Heavy Barrel ranks as one of the best arcade game ever IMHO. I remember waiting in line to play it. I had the Nintendo copy (which didn't do the arcade justice) where you can't discern what the garbled voice was trying to say. But you would know it was trying to say "heavy barrel" from having played the arcade.

Anyone remember the Star Wars game?
It was just you flying in space, and then approaching the Death Star and then in the trench. That was great game, loved it!
