[@PatTheNESpunk]

What games and pinball machines would you place in your personal dream arcade?! ✅Help support us @patreon.com/cupodcast

[@pinfarmer]

Have to have medieval madness and perhaps an epic New Jersey jack game. And squeeze in a mame candy cab.

[@pinfarmer]

Pat the NES Punk a Mario kart sit down arcade machine would be so great.

[@krmdagger1126]

Street fighter 2-3, Capcom Vs SNK 2 Pro, terminator salvation, space invaders, and legend of kage

[@JustinEvitable80]

Arcade machines I'd want: TMNT, X-Men, The Simpsons, Cruisin' USA and WWF WrestleMania. As for pinball, WWF Royal Rumble.

[@211inprogress]

I remember the Simpsons in the arcade was 4 player. 🕹️

[@Aragorn7884]

Konami's X-Men beat 'em up: 6-player with 2 screens 🥰

[@Evandemocracy]

I was thinking of this game right when they were talking about 4 player arcades.

[@JazGalaxy]

I remember one time seeing an Xmen cabinet going with all six players playing and it felt like something had been achieved in the universe. It was incredibly rare to find a 6 man cabinet and even more rare to see them all being played at once. It was like getting to see the x-men universe come alive in a way that still rarely happens.

[@joeyd1404]

totally!!

[@Kagatoamv]

I loved when the sound chip would overload, Mageto would yell, "X-Men... come... dead!" or Wendigo would scream, "Wendi.. wendi.. wendi.. wooo..."

[@zackschilling4376]

Hell yeah, and a new house to fit it in.

[@hjalmarjohnson5846]

Time Crisis, Off Road (standup cab w/ the wheel that was in every pizza place from everyone's childhood), Hydro thunder sit-in cab, Funhouse pinball, Simpsons 4 player cab, Addams family pinball, and a good ol' Neo-Geo 6-pack. Maybe even a cosmo gang electromech.

[@Helldorado72]

As Pat had mentioned Jersey in this video, I used to sneak into Middlesex County College in central Jersey (for anyone that's from jersey might know) and they had a foozeball table and a Dragons Lair cab and I remember it being $1.00 to play plus you had to be 18 to get into the lounge or be with someone that was currently a student there. Fortunately my neighbor would let me tag along as they went there. A weeks worth of allowance money GONE in a matter of a half hour! What great times.

[@MightySquirrel]

I miss my Xybots. Such a cool scheme turning the stick to turn your character. I'm right there with Ian. With both the pins and the arcades. I'd add black Knight 2000 to the list. I love the Bally widebody machines. But yeah, right there with Ian. A vertical jamma, a horizontal jamma, arkanoid, etc.

[@zackschilling4376]

DUDE! I love Xybots. What a great looking cab too. Its definitely a game that doesnt get the love it deserves. The Lynx has a great version, by far the best home port.

[@MightySquirrel]

I really miss my cabinet. The twisting of the joystick to be able to rotate the character was unique, and it worked really well.

[@jsands7]

He touched on it: Time Crisis 2 with the big heavy foot pedals. You can’t get that experience at home. Then of course Simpsons/X-men arcades etc

[@joeyvlo]

APB, Smash TV, MK2, Initial D, Donkey Kong, Afterburner, Battletoads, KI, TMNT, Moonwalker, Tekken, DDR, Super Punch-Out!, Pole Position, Ms. PAC-MAN, Popeye, P.O.W., Samurai Showdown 2, KOF, World Heroes Perfect, Metal Slug 4, Bloodstorm, Primal Rage, Bust-a-Move, Lethal Enforcers, Aerofighters, Space Invaders, Outrun, Ultra Street Fighter Alpha 5 - Hyper Champion Fighting Edition EX, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Punisher, Avengers, Spider-man, Shinobi, Rolling Thunder, Operation Wolf, Shadows of Mystaria, T2 Judgement Day, Simpsons, Mario Kart, Rastan, Robocop... could really just go on and on haha.

[@RP_Williams]

Mario Bros, Galaga, cocktail Ms Pacman, Street Fighter 2 The World Warrior, sit down Atari Star Wars, Robocop, Joust, Popeye, 1943, Tron, TMNT, Xmen, and Wonder Boy...all because those are the cabs i played most as a kid.

[@trevormorgan9084]

I think my dream arcade would have to include some console kiosks. I have a thing for the old Super Nintendo, Genesis, N64, Gamecube, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast and Xbox kiosks. I realize they arent arcade cabinets, per say....but they'd be perfect for an arcade room in my opinion! Additionally, I'm with Pat on the early Nintendo cabinets...I'd definitely love to have those!

[@overtrainphysiquesfitness6707]

Double Dragon is my classic arcade cabinet 😀

[@zackschilling4376]

I just dont like the slow down. I prefer the GBA version - best DD in IMO

[@RigbyIsTheMan]

All the neo geo games, the initial D series, every fighting game ever, sega stuff

[@Evandemocracy]

Would love a neo geo arcade that better have metal slug

[@ItsRetroPlanet]

Simpsons Arcade, Xmen's Arcade, Mr. Do!, Golden Axe, Battletoads, and Splatterhouse. Thankfully I can kinda get the feeling with stuff like Retro Arcade Neon.

[@foginternational]

I Remember some arcade machines had a second monitor on top so a crowd could see the action. MK II and Street Fighter II.

[@flyingonblades]

The rolling thunder cabinet is HEAVY. Most of the 80s atari cabs are made out of this thick mdf. I had a millipede cabinet that was deadly to move around. My favorite game was the big Virtual-on 2 player cab. I had to break it down into pieces just to move it around the house!

[@Retrosys]

First 4 player beat em up was actually Crime Fighters which came out a few months before TMNT.

[@Aragorn7884]

ST: TNG is a fantastic pinball machine 😍

[@matthewmoore1356]

Aragorn7884 I’ve played this recently at my arcade! Great game!!

[@jasonhowe1697]

my ultimate arcade.. 1 cabinet for each series of games

[@ImmortalInflames]

All 8 full sized Daytona arcade machines, with the big screens & partial body of the cars!

[@TheMunky25]

Mine would be mostly filled with light gun shooters like area 51, house of the dead, also Time crisis 2 beat em ups like turtles 2 arcade, and AVP, some racing ones like hydro thunder, and outrun, maybe a few classics like star wars arcade mrs. pacman, sinistar. Also some vertical scrolling space shooters.....there are so many choices it's so hard to decide.

[@TheMunky25]

Some fighters like street fighter 2, and fucking darkstalkers son

[@RegularRegs]

My dream arcade exists. It's a Launchbox set up with 3500 games and a custom skinned Xarcade tankstick. Second screen for the custom marquee that changes when you choose a game. No lag with RetroArch runahead.. In 2019 there's really no need for a bunch of giant old boxes that constantly break.

[@Islandswamp]

I'd like a racing cabinet like cruisin USA or something.

[@kissfan05]

Arcade cabs: Dig Dug Mortal Kombat II Altered Beast Pinball machines: Original Ballys KISS machine Rambo T2

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

The Philly Barcade does it right NBA Jam, Turtles 4 player, Moonwalker 3 player, 6 Player Xmen, Gauntlet, T2, etc. You should throw tapper in too, someone is always playing Tapper

[@SoftwareAgentsTV]

Some good multi machines: one for trackball games like Centipede, Millipede, Marble Madness and Quantum, one for left and right locked games like Joust, Joust 2, Galaxian, Galaga, Space Invaders, one for games with a left, right, up and down gate like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Namco Z80 multi, something like a CPS1 or CPS2 multi, a Taito F3/Cybercore multi.

[@Warbob11]

My list would be Simpsons Arcade, Both Jurassic Park Arcade games, House of the Dead 1 - 3, Starship Troopers Pinball, Bust a Move + combo Metal Slug cabinet.

[@VentusAetherius]

If you're talking about the arcade at Seaside Heights, NJ. Galaxy Force 2 is the arcade you're thinking of. I remember playing it there in the summer.

[@leecroft1983]

Mine would be full of Sega Dreamcast era stuff. And some older forgotten gems like Outrunners and Scud Race. This is a question that isn’t hard to answer, it’s just there’s too much to choose from. In a perfect would, everything. The building would be the size of a small city.

[@Zenon0K]

If I ever won the lotto or had money to throw around, since the first time I played it, I've wanted a Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. I'd probably also get a shooting game. Maybe a Buck Hunter since I like it best. Does anyone know if there is a sniper game where you can actually work the bolt? Something like Silent Scope should be my dream game, but it's never felt that good when it just acts like a semi auto.

[@lookfun7886]

You have to add racing games. Noting beats the stick shift, pedals, and the racing wheel.

[@clintwilliams3818]

Nice choice on the Fathom pinball, underrated. Shout out to pat for going against the grain with the SFII table. I still think people hate on it just for the haggard backglass... I'ts challenging and fun for me.

[@no_nameyouknow]

This is a newer game but that skatboarding game with an actual board you stand on to do tricks. I had fun on that as a teen.

[@JerseyNoodles]

Charlie Ricker Top Skater? There was also a sorta-sequel called Air Trix.

[@mr.vidjagamez9896]

all of Sega's light-gun games and all of Konami's beat-em-ups, Boogie Wings, Battletoads arcade, The Outfoxies, all of Capcom's 90s titles

[@SumerNivek]

I have stared a small collection myself in my basement- Outrun, Street Fight II (original World Warrior), 1-slot MVS NeoGeo, World Series: The Season, and a Pac-Man’s Arcade Party cocktail. Got one pinball machine with Bally’s Party Animal. CD jukebox is on the list to get along with a few more cabs!

[@zangardo3937]

Cedar point amusement park is auctioning off a few dozen arcade games.

[@zangardo3937]

auctions.graysauctioneers.com/auctions/1-2A85C0/the-cedar-point-auction

[@chuckiefailureofficial]

A 6 player “The Grid” would be awesome.

[@zackschilling4376]

Im dying to goto Galloping Ghost and play that.

[@jasonleman1396]

2 pinball machines for sure the addams family, and twilight zone from the 90s, and maybe the kiss 70s machine

[@WegnerTheDeftones]

Adams Family pinball is killer! Hydro Thunder and Cruisin USA cabs, After Burner cab, T2 cab all day and my personal favorite. Aliens Vs Predator cab just to scratch the surface.

[@Dumbledork_Prime]

I would have one standard cabinet for swapping games, but I'd fill it with pinball machines. My favourite one is Addams Family, but I also loved the first Star Wars pinball machine (with the Death Star), Terminator 2, Indiana Jones, Twilight Zone, Street Fighter II (a friend had that one at home)

[@flyingerasehead]

Sit down Outrun, Lucky & Wild, Pole Position, and POW because I like the art on the machine.

[@DenkyManner]

Mine would be based on games I actually played in arcades at the time: SFII: CE, MK 1 and II, Wrestlefest, Final Fight, House of The Dead 1, Virtua Cop 1 & 2, Lethal Enforcers, Daytona, Sega Rally, OutRunners, Metal Slug, Fatal Fury Special, Art of Fighting, TMNT, Simpsons, maaaybe Bad Dudes, RoboCop. Hammering Harry, Vendetta.

[@FamilyGuyBob]

Asteroids, that's it. Those vector graphics are something else.

[@tails64dsntchannel8]

besides a generic Jamma cab to swap boards in, i'd love to own an original ITG1 kit installed in a DDR Jcab, an Andamiro ITG2 Dedicab, a Dancing Stage Eurocab with the Italian ITG Bootleg kit, SD Taiko no Tatsujin and an SD Pop'n Music.. oh, and perhaps a Beatmania IIDX. Basically all the cool mid 2000's Music Games. Working on getting at least one of these XD

[@magog123]

MR. DO!!!!!!!! Why haven’t we seen this game anywhere since the SNES???

[@PNDSTREAM]

I always remember the MR. DO!! arcade from the background of Max's on Saved by the Bell

[@magog123]

Still don’t understand why that game hasn’t been anywhere. Especially with the sequels there should def be a compilation Carr or disk. A shame there’s not.

[@nubatman]

There was a version on Neo-Geo.

[@rynomclaughlin1595]

Tron, Centipede, Arkanoid, Afterburner, SF2 Champion edition, UMK3, NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Simpsons, TMNT, Rolling Thunder, Asteroids, Star Wars Arcade, Time Crisis 2, House of the dead 2, Silent Scope, Spy Hunter, Dragons Lair and my personal favorite Galaga

[@androidrulez444]

I have pretty much every cabinet I want. But I'd trade it all away for one Afterburner cabinet with the seat that has the speakers right by your ear. Fuck I want one of those so bad

[@jeffpom7868]

bubble bobble!, the house of the dead!

[@JamesWilliams-go7xx]

Computer Othello was awesome, was Nintendo's first, Nintendo started out as a board game and card game company back in the early 1900's.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Pat, I live in Toms River. Seaside was amazing for arcades back in the late 90s early 2000s. I went a few weeks ago and they're mostly crane/gambling now. I saw maybe 3 pinball machines. Next time I'll try to take pictures if you'd like.

[@MrBen2177]

Ikari warriors

[@odaddy47]

Victory Road

[@anouk356]

Time Crisis 1-3, Mortal Kombat 1-4, Double Dragon games, TMNT games, Fist of the North Star (the one with six pads that pop out that you box), Star Wars (the one with lightsaber fight vs Darth Vader), Battletoads, Punisher, Street Fighter 1-3rd Strike, Hook, Haunted Castle, Bubble Bobble, Ms. Pac-man, Knights of the Round, Dragons Lair 1&2, Space Ace, Alien vs Predator, X-Men games, House of the Dead games, Killer Instinct 1&2, Moon Walker, Gauntlet, Simpsons Arcade, Popeye, Soul Edge, Soul Calibur, Red Earth, WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game (the MK clone).

[@JerseyNoodles]

An original Tapper before they removed the Budweiser branding. Also loved the Silent Scope games!

[@zackschilling4376]

Atari in the 70s and 80s were so ahead of everyone else. Those arcade games like the ones Pat mentions plus a few more he didnt (Xybots, I,Robot, Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters, Toobin', etc.) all looked and played amazing. All those game still hold up to this day with great graphics and amazing art styles. A lot of their 90s games were great, too. Pit-Fighter gets shit on a lot cuz of the terrible home ports but when it came out it was a big deal, and its lesser known successor Guardians of the 'Hood looks like amazing cheesey-ness.

[@DrewberTravels]

Lots of pinball machines and a technician to work on them.

[@OldSchoolCurt]

If I had my own arcade I wud have Star Wars, Simpson’s,x men, temple of doom pinball, rampage, willow, pac man, miss pac man, turtles in time.

[@nedleynedsworth7877]

One of those Chester Pollard "Play Football" games from the 1920s. They have one at the Santa Cruz boardwalk.

[@mariosion]

My favorite arcade games are pretty much fighting games. If I had my own arcade, I’d put my three favorite Capcom fighters. Super Street Fighter II, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.

[@tripperjoe1699]

I want a bunch of pinball machines that I neglected in favor of arcade games because they were cutting edge or whatever but when pinball arcade and the hall of fames came out I realized how ignorant I was and play real machines any chance I get. I love so many of the machines it would be tough to narrow them down to like 5-10 of them. I would have at least a couple of arcade games.

[@crimson90]

I can't believe it took a whole three minutes for Ian to mention Centipede lol

[@creativeusername7951]

Percussion Master Crazy Taxi House of the Dead 1&2 Moonwalker Brave Firefighters Star Wars Arcade (or was it Tie Fighter? It's a sort of newer looking one with the wraparound flat screen inside the big ball booth that kind of rotates as you play) OutRunners

[@Mr.Persia958]

Avengers,tmnt,X-men,punisher/nick fury,ninja gaiden,operation wolf,neo-geo cabinet and probably a pinball machine for the Nostalgia 🤘🏼

[@0DNETNIN]

Pole Position, VS Excitebike, Mappy, Xevious, Frogger, Donkey Kong, All Outrun Games.

[@rcLdrcH]

I always wanted a pinball machine but besides the typical south park pinball I would love to have waterworld pinball machine as I loved it for many years as a kid

[@KillStraighty]

Sega's Time Traveler holographic arcade machine was unique... Not great, but definitely unique.

[@randyfrench9401]

Champion Pub & Jackbot.. thats my 2 favorites.!!

[@Kagatoamv]

I worked at an Arcade from 88-94, I'd want Cyberball, Rolling Thunder, Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Rampart, Star Wars (vector), Star Trek, Hard Drivin', Stun Runner, Tempest, Rastan, Black Tiger, Victory, Robotron, Defender, Gyrus, Contra. For pins, I'd want Pin Bot, Xenon, Baracuda, Twilight Zone, Space Invaders, Tron Legacy (so I can try it)

[@justaguyinashed]

Arkanoid and Centipede are a must. Galaga is my #1.

[@123-k6i]

RoboCop, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Total Carnage, World Heroes 2 Jet, Metal Slug 3

[@joeyd1404]

Simpsons, TMNT, Moonwalker, Offroad (3 steering wheels)

[@UNDERGROUNDskateco]

[@TravisSelassieSimbawafedha]

Frogger, Tron, Afterburner sitdown machine , Battle Zone , Rad Racer, Sit down Star Wars, Baby Pacman and Star Trek TNG Pinball

[@lumpylowell]

Love those choices, but would add Spyhunter, Joust, Battlezone, Cruisin' World or USA, Revolution X

[@maxxdahl6062]

I'd definitely have a dragon's lair in mine.

[@michaelwedgeworth8625]

All I wanna know is does pat & Ian believe in aliens / ET s , would be a great ( future topic ) ...

Racer Moonwalker (hate the Gen version, but love the arcade version) Dont know if this counts, but Id love a multi unit Battletech like the ones they had at Navy Pier

[@nathanielfincher4394]

Greg from Arcade Impossible procured his collection over time without big $$$$. Showing you dont necessarily need to be rich to have your dream arcade setup. Having said that, not sure what where or how you would put them all in big enough space living in San Diego. I just moved back from there and it's not cheap. Lol

[@biglouie34]

You guys need to find a reason to come to Las Cruces, NM because we have a place that has many of the pinball machines you guys mentioned plus the arcade Duck Hunt which is trippy lol

[@JetFire0422]

I pretty sure Crime Fighters was 4 players and came out before Turtles

[@wcrcp24]

Hyper sports, pole position , and nba jam

[@xl0nest4rx11]

Golden Axe, Double Dragon 1 & 2, Saint Dragon, TMNT, Street Fighter 2,

[@SloofmanPlays]

we need a microphone on that 1up shroom

[@TboneTenEighties]

Wasn't Crime Fighters cab before TMNT??

[@jasonstadeli3231]

A shoot 'em up like Gradius II or III, and of course TMNT Turtles in Time for my favorite beat 'em up ever.

[@MVC2fan1]

You do realize that Gradius 3 arcade is hardest out of all shoot'em ups, right?

[@jasonstadeli3231]

@@MVC2fan1 Absolutely but doesn't mean because it's the hardest I wouldn't dream of wanting to own it. I consider Gradius III one of my all time favorite games on the SNES and just owning it as an Arcade Cabinet to play at my leisure would be amazing. And I know the fact the Arcade is extremely more brutal than the console port.

[@jasonstadeli3231]

@@MVC2fan1 would also settle on owning a Salamander / Lifeforce aracde cabinet. That was a good shoot 'em up as well.

[@jonathanredford215]

I'd have to go with mortal kombat II , tmnt IV, nba jam, house of the dead, etc. Titles like that

[@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct]

My "dream" arcade would have Polybius… …with the only exit locked from the inside with a four-letter combination lock… …and the high score is set at 35,311,151 :P

[@jonnyrockwell]

Lookout Pat!! Southside Jim's pulled a shank on you!

[@bugsfrickingbunny]

Hey Pat will there be a nes marathon around Thanksgiving???? I usually watch the whole thing and am looking forward to it

[@MrXSlatex]

If I could choose my first arcade to get it would be Marvel vs. Capcom II ! Then as most have said, X-men 6 player.

[@pizzamon795]

Who else got thier "certain snes guidebook" yesterday?

[@TheCreepypro]

man I feel like I could list games all day I've never played a bad pinball machine in my mind so I could have the worst ones and still be happy, I love side scrolling beat em ups so all the classic ones like all the TMNT arcades, all the Final Fights, all the Streets of Rage, Simpsons arcade and of course X-men, love me some fighting games so all the Street Fighters, all the Mortal Kombats, and all the snk and neo geo fighters like Fatal Fury, KIng of Fighters, Samurai Showdown, and heck why not the original Soul Edge and all the Soul Caliburs, the light gun games like Time Crisis and House of the Dead, the Jurrasic Park one, Area 51, heck even racing games cabinets like Cruising USA and Mario Kart I could keep going but that is enough for now like Pat I pretty much just want all of them these are just preferences
