Nice to see Golden Axe get a mention.  That game was pretty much my babysitter when my grandpa owned an arcade and my mom worked there.

I probably shouldn't tell you all about FreePlay Arcade here in Richardson, where they have great food, a wide selection of craft beers, and they work diligently at reconstructing old arcade cabinets and boards (instead of using emulators like some places do).

Or I probably shouldn't talk about the Pong unit that plays a physical game of Pong with blocks on a table. Or how they, at one time, had both TMNT games *and* six-player X-Men on the floor. Or both four-player versions of Gauntlet.

As for my favorites...well:

• Street Fighter II (Turbo and Super)
• SF Alpha 1/2/3
• Killer Instinct/2
• Metal Slug
• Bust-a-Move
• World Heroes 2 (in was in the first floor of Abel...only reason why I played it a lot) 

Love the classics, like Donkey Kong/III, Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Rally X, Mappy, Zoo Keeper, and the like. Anything that we saw on the old Starcade game show too, like Pooyan. 

Oh shoot I can't believe I forgot this beast...was all about that Royal Rumble lyfe!
