If I was rich I would buy a sit down steering wheel car racing arcade cabinet only if I had the space to place it. But I would mostly wish for a cabinet that included multiple racing games with it. Playing by yourself in front of just a home television can get boring after a while.
If you could buy an your own arcade room or personal hall, what are some of the kind of games you would want included in your arcade room? Imagine if money or space was not an obstacle
If I could have an arcade hall I would want also this game that you have guns and shoot the bad guys I think it was like Virtua Cop but it had zombies instead of the FBI guys

great memories playing these two as a kid at my local arcade venue :D

Cruis'n World. Just because I liked hitting the cows. :D

This year I finally had enough of denying myself and delaying gratification.
I got an Attack From Mars Limited Edition pinball machine (#21 of 1000).
Also got an Area 51 original cabinet (I am almost done restoring it)
And an Area 51: Site 4 cabinet.
The first two items fulfill a personal pipe dream I’ve had for over 20 years.
Now I am working on phase 2.
Tomorrow I’m putting in an offer on a new home with a finished basement which will become my personal arcade starting with these three machines.
I’m gonna deck it all out with led accent lighting, a custom neon sign, and everything.
Before anyone gets too jealous, yes I am compensating for something but not what you think.
The rest of my life this year has been a complete dumpster fire and it’s not getting put out any time soon.

One of the relatively modern tekken games.
In the past my answer would have been Street Foghter II but I think I’d play Tekken more today.

Yea I like Tekken also but my copies of Tekken freeze on my PS3

I already own one of the ones I would have. Black Tiger.
Other than that, I would buy Gauntlet Dark Legacy 4 player.

Depends on where I would be living. Right now, I live in a place that doesn't have the real space to fit a huge one, so with that being the case, I'd love to buy a Midway Galaga cabaret.
If I move into a bigger place, I'd like a Galaga dedicated upright or a Daytona USA deluxe cab.

I have several arcade cabinets. I’m actually having to sell off a couple. I’m out of room. Cruisin’ USA already found a new home. :'(
If I were to buy another one, it’d have to be a Crazy Taxi sitdown. I love having a few cocktails and getting a few fares.
-
I was within hours of owning an R-Type cabinet some years ago, but the game I would say that I defiantely would want is G.I. Joe.

Just to clarify, I am going to just list arcade games, not pinball machines. As much as I want pinball machines too, I feel like there sort of in a whole other league of impracticality so I'm keeping them separate.
1. Virtua Fighter
2. Star Wars Trilogy Arcade (1997) - sit down version
3. The Lost World: Jurassic Park Arcade - sit down version
4. Area 51/Maximum Force - combo cabinet
5. Virtua Fighter 2
6. Galaxian/Pac Man - combo cabinet
7. House of the Dead
8. Cruisn' World - sit down version
9. Daytona USA - sit down version
10. Area 51 Site 4

If you had said arcade MACHINE instead of Cabinet, the unanimously unwavering answer would absolutely be The Addams Family Pinball. Since you said cabinet then it would have to be the sit-down cabinet of Night Striker for pure nostalgia.

There's so many others that I would love to own if money was no issue and space was no object. I worked in an arcade for a few years in my youth during the apparent heyday of arcade cabinets.
This one is a close second, The Virtua Racing deluxe sit-down cabinet

DK/DKJr./Popeye/Mario Bros. Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man (with Turbo), Joust, Mappy, Flicky, Pengo, Atomic Punk, Kangaroo, Paperboy, Toobin', APB, 4-player Gauntlet, 3-player Rampage, Cruisin' USA sit down (gotta pick the school bus), Tron, Deadly Discs of Tron (the weird "sit-down" cab), Star Wars Arcade (the 1983 one, sit down), Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Rastan, Black Tiger, Turbo Force, Mercs, Gradius/Life Force, Raiden I/II, Bubble Bobble, various other cabs I can't think of at the moment and erm... a dedicated cabinet for my Haunted Castle PCB? :P

I have 4 arcade cabinets but really wish i had Star Castle and Dig Dug.

you may or may not believe in God "@dashv" but you could always try to pray for a bigger and affordable house, after all it sounds like you've got nothing to lose. only to gain

Wow. Where to start.
Owning my own personal arcade is a dream of mine. All of the following arcade games have a nostalgic meaning for me for one reason or another:
Q*Bert (my favorite game ever. If I can ever afford an arcade machine, it will be this one)
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr
Popeye
Dig Dug
Ms Pac-Man
Food Fight
Centipede
Mr Do
Jailbreak
Burning Rubber
Double Dragon
Operation Wolf
Shinobi
GiJoe
After Burner II
Thunder Blade (sit down)
Outrun
Chase HQ
TMNT
X-Men
Simpsons
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
SFIICE & Super SFII
Mortal Kombat 1-3
WWF Wrestlefest
WWF Wrestlemania
Killer Instinct
X-Men vs SF
X-Men CotA
MSH vs SF
Marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2
And that’s not counting all the pinball machines...
-
Area 51 is one of my big ones. I'd also love to have the full motion Star Wars Trilogy.
A friend had an extra Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball cabinet that I initially passed on, but I've been reconsidering it lately.
-
As tempted as I would be to get Virtual On, if I could only have one I'd go with a 6-slot MVS, so I could swap out games as I saw fit. I would start off with Battle Balls though- old puzzler that I used to play in a local restaurant and got decent at despite the screen going bad so the balls changed color as they dropped. I don't think it has a home release, oddly enough.

They have one of these at a local arcade, I play it every time I'm there! I usually end up taking the top spot on the bride's stage, but I'm also fairly sure they reset the high scores regularly, so it's not that great an achievement.
-
I guess if you had money coming out of your ears, it is a dream scenario right?
I think when it comes to MVS, a better dream would be to get a 1-4 slot and a NeoSD MVS. One cart to rule them all!
-
4-player Gauntlet would be my pick... such a classic!

I have a few arcade cabinets and i'm looking for mostly ones that mean something to me. The ones I would love to add to my collection.
My top 3 are
- Burgertime
- Galaga
- Elevator Action
These I would love to own if i can find space.
- Tapper
- Gauntlet
- Dig Dug
- Robotron
- Berzerk
- Joust
- Donkey Kong Jr.
- Super Pac-Man
- TMNT
- Q*Bert
- Mortal Kombat II
- Polybius (yes i know its not real, but people make custom cabinets that i'd like to own)
And these I would buy in a heartbeat if I found one at a good price. Just because of their history.
- Computer Space
- Pong (arcade)
-
One of the relatively modern tekken games.
In the past my answer would have been Street Foghter II but I think I’d play Tekken more today.
There's no stock market cabinet?

Pinball: Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Shooting game: three player Revolution X
Fighting: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Classic: Gauntlet

I swear to God I will have this air hockey table some how, some way, in the next 5 years:

Thanks for the encouragement. I do believe in a power better and smarter than me in this universe.
The bigger more affordable house is in the works (finalizing contract this week).
But the implications it has for my immediate future may turn out to be more than I bargained for!
Certainly prayer is in order!

My dream arcade cabinet would easily be a 6 players X-Men machine.
It is amazing!

Ah, the hours I spent playing that monster cabinet. I usually avoided playing as Dazzler or Cyclops because their viewing angles sucked ;)

Oh, for me it would have to be one of the SNK arcade cabinets, perhaps Samurai Shodown II. That would be fantastic.

I'm pretty sure there are very few arcade cabinets that even go for more than 10K so even if you have a high dollar one it most definitely is not worth stabbing for.
Prison bail etc will cost you far more than the few K's an original machine costs It's not that much really.
The 4 player one is for sale for 3K in the states
https://www.vintagearcade.net/shop/arcade-games/x-men-arcade-game/
Also there is a 6 player cabinet for sale if anyone is interested since it is apparently to die for ::)
http://www.arcades4home.com/xmen-6-player
I highly doubt the 6 player one will be far more expensive than a 4 player one not 10K + but who knows.

We had that 6-player cabinet at the arcade I worked at. The section with the buttons and joysticks detached from the rest of the cabinet and was basically a really big and hollow pressed wood box. Every so often we'd haze a new guy and lock them inside that part of the cab. :P
I always preferred using Dazzler, viewing angle be damned. Every time I saw someone play it was almost always Colossus, Nightcrawler or Wolverine. :P

My first job was at an arcade, though they no longer had X-Men when I started working there.
I’d use Dazzler occasionally, but I never liked how difficult it was to do her throw move. It was so inconsistent. IMO, the best character is Storm. She has the best range and I can do her throw easily.

This dream can be made possible in anyone of our lives, for anyone one of us with an income. But me personally would never want to steal any of them.
I believe in consequences for doing bad things no matter what. If you steal chances are higher you may get robbed yourself by another person (or worse) in the future that is how I look at it.
that is what I mean partially when I consider that stealing does have consequences. even if you don't experience any right away
But I figure that not that many people on here are interested in stealing.

I had a friend who had one in his garage. That was a great July 4th party.
He ended up moving and sold it to another friend. Last I heard was that it need work done on one of the monitors.

That’s a beast!
Can you play as the Beast?

No Beast, sadly.
There was Nightcrawler (personal favorite), Wolverine, Cyclops, Colossus, Storm and Dazzler.

Oh, but sir, you must! I insist! If you at all have the means, I do suggest you play it!
It's a dang fine game that I know you will dig.
Is there a more pompous dick thing to say than "If you at all have the means, ..."? It just sounds like something that Todd from the yacht club would say.

Didn’t sound pompous at all. Mya hmmm hmmmn hmmmn.
I currently have an empty cabinet I am in the process of restoring.
I’m planning to turn it into a mame box at which point I should have the means to play it whilst eating caviar and sipping champagne as I and the machine drift along the ocean on one of my yachts.
-
Having any arcade machine would be awesome but if I had to have one, it would be any one from these;
Daytona USA
Jurassic Park
WWF Wrestlefest
-
NBA Jam. Maybe NFL Blitz. Replay value is endless.
(ps maybe street fighter or mk)
-
(https://i.imgur.com/HS4M3VD.jpg)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time – this was my jam back when I was a kid. There’s a Pizza Hut near where I live that had one and I would instantly dash to where it was whenever I went there as a kid. I used to play the heck out of it. Those were simpler times.
I would definitely love to own this cabinet. Truth be told, though, I don’t have the space for it, but I'd make some...
-
Crusin' Exotica. Seen one before in my local Habitat For Humanity thrift store for $200 but I didn't have $200 or a moving truck. My local Walmart still has them running in the arcade, and my trailer park had the original Crusin' USA in their little arcade.
-
Soul Calibur 2
-
Usual suspects:
X-Men
Turtles In Time
Simpsons
and
Sunset Riders
Cowboys Of Moo Mesa for good measure 8)
-
i would go with one of these
Xmen Arcade
Simpsons Arcade
Baby Pacman
Stadium Cross
-
Phoenix
-
Cowboys Of Moo Mesa
I’ve never seen that cabinet, but dang it’s a fun game!
-
Either a MK2 or Streetfighter. Maybe NFL Blitz or NBA Showtime (4player)
