I want this. 2008 Ultimate Arcade

 

I played Robotron on this at my local Costco. Kickass.

 

I wouldn't spend $2,399.99 for it, especially since I have all those same games on MAME and already have an arcade-style controller, but it would still be cool to own it. The only deal-breaker for me is that it doesn't include Stargate. For that kind of money, it should have Stargate!

[TheRocinanteKid]

Pac Man owns all.

Yeah, If only money wasn't an option, I'd love to have something like this too

Oh, I've been there...

[J0N]

Bit before my time, but always like Zero wing, because of the great translations

[Tortoise and Hare]

It was Asteroids for me (Tortoise).

Millipede for Hare.

 

I voted for Millipede since I couldn't vote for two. (Millipede needed help in the poll)

 

 

Tortoise

That game is so hard it's not fun to me. Even with unlimited credits on Mame I can't beat that game because you start at the beginning of the level if you get hit once.

[LaVilla]

Shinobi, hard but fun,

Yeah it was. I used to play Super Breakout. 4 games in 1. Breakout, Progressive, Cavity and 1 other one that I can't remember now. It was an awesome cartridge. The cartridges I had for the Atari 800 were the size of a cigarette pack, but cost me $80 a piece. Still it was a great time then.

[Ru5h F@n]

This is what I had on cartridge in those days:

 

Asteroids

Centipede

Star Raiders

Super Breakout

Speedway Blast (IDSI)

 

Idsi was a New Mexico company that made a few games for Atari. This one being the most popular though.

Ya they were small and easy to carry around if you went to a friend's house. But the cardboard box it came packaged in were huge! Almost the size of a standard book!

Ahh memories, I can remember going round to my pals house at lunchtime from school to play some games, And yes, we did make it back to school afterwards

[rickyrob]

Although we're talking late 80's very early 90's here, I had one of these...

I probably play super mario bros more often... but hell I play almost all of them... got the Atari 2600, but I've been playing Moon Patrol on that thing, it trips the shit out of me. I love the Atari it's so sketchy.

[Vital Signs]

Tetris, my high-Score is in the 20,000's.
