Classic Arcade Games - Capcom Arcade Cabinet: Retro Game Collection Announced

[StereoMike]

Here's the "game du jour": The Real Ghostbusters, pretty fun game, too bad I only played it a few times. Notice the button layout for the 3rd player, that was a pretty bad idea.

Looks a lot like "Ikari Warriors"!

Sadly one would have to have special rotary joysticks to play this game correctly! Kinda like plying Centipede/Millipede , Rampart and Missile Command without the trackball, regular joysticks just would'nt cut it!

Great thread. I really love these old games and have all of them on my PS3. Some others I would really like to see added are,

Asteroids
Defender
Tron
Robotron 2084
Missle Command

I have a Stargate upright and an Asteroids Deluxe cocktail in my garage, but I really like being able to play these old games laying back on my couch.

What about L3 for movement, R3 for aiming, L1 to shoot and R1 for grenades. Not exactly perfect, but it would be playable I would think.

Arkanoid on the NES was pretty lame because of that. I could have bought this but at $30, wasn't worth it.

Yeah that's very rare to find that game with the "vaus" controller. But not as rare as my Tengen "Tetris" NES cartridge!

You are lucky, that is the "real" Tetris. It has a better soundtrack.

Tetris: The Soviet Mind Game

By the time of court order demanding Tengen cease distribution of the game and destroy all remaining copies, roughly 100,000 copies of the game had been sold, and has since become a collector's item. The game has been noted as superior to Nintendo's own release for the NES, with 1UP.com noting its removal as a loss for players, citing its gameplay and two-player mode. However in another article, they noted that were it not for the hype surrounding the game during the lawsuit, Tengen's Tetris would have more than likely been forgotten. GamesRadar stated similar, praising Tengen's version and noting that the Game Boy Tetris version was superior to Nintendo's licensed NES version as well.

I got mine (Tengen Tetris cart) years ago at the now defunt Funcoland for $6.99 in absolute mint shape with the case and booklet!

One game I couldn't believe wasn't on the Sega Genesis collection for ps3, Outrun.






Actually IIRC the sequal is on the Euro PSN...but not on the US version. Whats up with that.

[StereoMike]

With the remake coming this fall, maybe they will release Splatterhouse on the PSN.

I wish the psn would get some cobra command.

I dropped a ton load into that game at the arcade, and even bought a sega cd system when they ported it to that console.

I'm a little bit confused...Are you talking about the 1984 version of Cobra Command, which is the one that has been port to Sega CD, or the 1988 Cobra Command and you thought that was the version you were getting on Sega CD?

I'm asking because for me the real Cobra Command is the '88 version.

This may be a little too old school for a lot of you guys.

What about Crazy Climber? The thumbsticks would be perfect for this game.
