My favorite arcade game as a kid was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I spent many a quarter on that one every Saturday until it came out on the NES. A few of my other favorites are Star Wars: The Trilogy with the surround sound seat cabinet, Cruisin' USA, and the old school Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man.

Street Fighter II

Street Fighter II

Forgot about that one... I played it quite a bit also.

[Tossica]

Ooooh.. forgot about Virtua Fighter. Damn that game was incredible when it first appeared on the scene. That game was the whole reason I bought a Sega Saturn.

I've said before that if I win the lottery or something and end up getting some nice finished basement gameroom and got one arcade machine for it, it would be Rampage.

Hadouken!

I always liked After Burner. Non stop barrel rolls until a stray missle takes you out.

SF : Third Strike

<---Ranked 6th in the world in 3rd strike. I jablowned the guy that wrote the strategy guide.

[recks]

are you serious? there used to be this club in NZ that had 3rd strike machines all in the back, you would line up at 2am to play a bunch of people, it was awesome, I got pretty good with Ryu/Ken, but 6th in the world?!?! Tell me more

[Zanchief]

He's Asian, you can't compete.

[recks]

Oh nm then.

Fighting game players compete in various tourneys across the world for instance Texas Showdown, Omaha Fighting Tourney, Midwest Championships, Super Battle Opera (Japan obviously with a ridiculous name like that) and the big one which is Evolution. Basically, if you hit top 20 at each tourney you get ranked (out of 300-500 people per game). Ranking is really just an epeen thing. You don't get any money unless you are top 3. I'm only top 3 in Guilty Gear, in which I place 3rd overall and first for team America. Japan usually jablowns everything except Marvel Capcom 2 (I'm 20th) in which 1 American kid has been reigning undisputed champ since forever.

Back to 3s, I used Yun, Chun Li, Ken and Urien. Yun and Chun Li are my best.

So, you flew all over the world to compete in these tourneys?

I never went to the ones in france, germany or japan. Just the US ones. All in all between prize money and money matches I paid for all of my trips and made a little extra side cash. Nothing to call home about but it was a lot of fun that didn't cost me anything.
