Ah, recently my buddy and I discovered an arcade/pool/bowling area on our campus and it's awesome! Except that there aren't that many games really, and about 95% of them are FPS, save DDR Extreme, 3 pinball games, air hockey, and foosball. I really don't have time to go to places like Gameworks anymore (poor college student with no car *tear tear*) but I go once in a while.

My favorite game at the arcade on my campus is probably Time Crisis 3, even though the characters you play as look like pretty-boy queers. lol. House of the Dead is pretty good but the calibration for the guns are totally off, so you die like in 5 minutes. pffft, waste of my 50 cents.

So, do you still go? Like the games? Favorites? Discuss!

It's been so long since I've gone to one. Just some of the past months I would only go to the arcades to play Pump It up or MvC2 just for kicks. Ahh I remember my summer going to Vegas and all those arcades.. man.. crazy stuff. I play some TC, MvC2 and mainly DDR all day (piff and I already have 2/3). If I'm with my bf, we play together of course =P and play some air hockey against each other. I use to play Galaga at Asian stores while my parents look for their asian dramas. But ahh not too much of an arcade experience, basically consoles took over my arcade life. =]

I use to go to the arcade every weekend to play Initial D and watch a movie. There's a movie theater right next to the arcade so yeah. Initial D was the only arcade game I really played. Well I played air hockey a couple of times. Air hockey is dangerous lol. I got hit a lot of times. Anyways yeah I wasted a lot of money on Initial D. Never played DDR. I suck anyways. Don't wanna embarass myself in front of everyone. DDR, Initial D, and Wangan Maximum Tune are probably the most popular games at my arcade. Tekken 5 is pretty popular too. I don't really like Wangan because it just seems boring compare to Initial D. And plus it seems like when you're losing, you always catch up. There's also another game here which is like a drum game , where you use your hands or something? Anyone know what that is called? There was another game here that was similar to DDR, but you could use your hands too, not just feet. Some of my friends played it. This reminds me that I haven't played Initial D in so long. I wouldn't mind going back to play it again. But then again I sucked at Initial D anyways lol. hmm the damn shifter better be fix on the left machine dry.gif

I go to the arcade on campus everyonce in a while. Usually I play a game of Madden, Initial D, and Sega Super GT. There is a dance game, I believe it's called Exceed, though I'm not sure. I'm sure I heard a Boa track blaring out from the speakers once though. Capcom fighters are popular here, and the only 3D fighters are Tekken 5 and Soul Calibur.

I'm a fan of shooting games. Time Crisis + House of the Dead are what I frequent. I'm mad in love with Crazy Taxi. I have the Playstation game at home too laugh.gif

I love House of the Dead <3! I usually play it whenever I can when I'm at the arcade. I haven't been there for a while... I really wanna got to on that has PIU. I love DDR, but I miss PIU so much! T_T

Exceed is the newest version of Pump It Up, the Korean counterpart to DDR, the Japaanese dancing game. When I was in Vietnam during the past summer, I went to this arcade that actually had DDR. PIU is popular over there, while DDR over here, so I was overjoyed. They included two machines of PIU (usually, arcades over there have at least one PIU machine), one DDR machine, and one Chinese dancing machine which name escapes my mind at the moment. There's only three steps, but there's this thing where you have to wave your hands too, so it's pretty confusing. You have to use both feet and hands, so I didn't try it out =\

Overall, dance games are my main game happy.gif

I've never seen an InitialD game in either my campus arcade or the Gameworks one! Now I'm pretty obsessed with Virtua Cop 3. That game is so awesome. My friend and I beat the whole thing the first time we played it. (of course, we spent like 10 bucks on tokens for that game...TT, but it was awesome when we beat it) My school makes so much money off of me! Atleast my winter break kicks in today so I can't go waste money for a while, lol. damn it if i'm going to drive 40 minutes)
