Can we cheat and get a six game Neo-Geo stand up?

With the following games:

Metal Slug
Samurai Showdown 2
Pulstar
Sengoku
Neo Bomberman
Shock Troopers

Shoot, I was going to cheat and say a NeoGeo cab with four games. I didnt know they had one with six.

Since I was unaware, my four games would be:

Mark of the Wolves
Metal Slug
Blazing Star
Baseball Stars 2

If I could do six:

Sengoku 3
Samurai Shodown 2

My dad used to work on 70/80s arcade games, we had upwards of thirty machines at one time. The coolest one had you looking through a sub periscope and shooting torpedoes at destroyers.

God, I remember that thing! No idea what it was called. I was terrible at it, but it was cool as hell.

Mother fawkin' hydro thunder baby. Man I loved that thing as a teenager.

Marvel VS Capcom 2 for sure.

This. But I want the Japanese style cabinet where its sitting down instead of standing.

I think I played the genesis version of that

it took forever and it was so fucking hard to sink the other subs

Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, no doubt.

House of the Dead 2 would be a very close second

A multicade that has lightgun support for House of The Dead 1&2 and Lost World: Jurassic Park.

1) Gauntlet Dark Legacy

This one was one I played a lot. Got level 99 Legend on each one of the characters, and beat Skorne and Garm multiple times.

2) Tekken 3 or Tekken Tag Tournament

My main fighting games at the time, smoked 90% of the people who played me. And Tekken now is just a shell of what it was then.

3) Street Fighter Alpha 3 or SF3 Third Strike

My friends and I played the hell out these too, more often against each other.

I have a Virtua Fighter and Virtua Striker arcade machines. Both official Sega boards. And a Neo Geo with 18 carts so Im pretty set for arcades. Id love to have some Capcom fighters tho

Arcades were on the way out by the time the FPS genre became super popular.

Also arcades are built around a quick pick up and play experience, which is why "on rails" shooters and shooting gallery experiences were more popular in arcades.

Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara

This is a cool choice, my buddies and I rallied that game laat year on a pair of those Chinese arcade stick setups with the 1000s of unlicensed ROMs.

I think I would choose a pinball machine personally but not sure which one.
