You enter the arcade and make your way back to where the usual ddr cab is at. Turning the last corner you glance and see the ddr cab is dead. Left and right you ask if it'll be able to turn on today, but it's off for who knows how long. Days, weeks, maybe even months. The sound of every other machine around finally make their way in your head and overwhelm you by games you never thought you'd ever touch, let alone play.

A sudden thought emerges from your mind...what other game should I play since I drove all the way out here?

TL;DR-
Besides every rhythm game out there (like DDR, IIDX, Pop'n Music, etc.), what arcade games do the lovely people of Zenius usually play?

When I'm at Nickel City for my ITG3 and EXTREME sessions, I sometimes opt to play:

-Whatever Street Fighter title they have
-Super Contra
-Mario Kart GP
-Mega Man: The Power Battle
-Donkey Kong
-Fruit Ninja FX
(They also have Beatmania 6th and a DanceManiax cabinet, though the latter was out-of-order last time I visited)

When at D&B, I'll also play:

-Galaga Assault
-Jurassic Park Arcade
-Luigi's Mansion Arcade
-Grand Piano Keys
-Time Crisis 5
-SnoCross
-Pac Man Battle Royale (that's the one random was referring to)
-Any kind of Air Hockey
(Sometimes I play PIU as well to try something different, but I don't enjoy it as much)

Music games make up about half of my usual arcade so realistically I'd be leaving and going to Dave and buster's. They have ice ball, that's honest to god the most exciting thing there otherwise.

If D&B's ace was down there's slam a winner extreme and quick drop for ticket games but once again I'd probably be out the door.

At least if I went to 8 on the break there is a bunch of pinball to amuse myself with as well as ms pac man but their pads aren't as good so I'd really only be there if there was an event or hypothetical situaion like this one.

My favorite games to play at the arcade are believe it or not are the video games or music games. I like playing the coin pushers, claw machines, even the notoriously rigged key master or cut the rope games.
I don't play simulators. Only the real official games.

If Jubeat/DanceEvolution is down in my local arcade, I usually play maimai, Candy Crush Saga and WMMT5DX. I love to earn tickets for prize redemption. Smile

The main games I like to play besides DDR are
-the four player Pac Man game (I think it was called battle royale? idk)
-Tekken 5
-House Of The Dead 3 and 4
-any of those games where you push the 2p in and see if you can get other 2ps out
-Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
-Deal Or No Deal (sometimes)
-Claw Machines (specifically, the Sega UFO one. For some reason I adore that one out of all the others. Maybe it's the background video they have playing in the machine.)

In SM Calamba, I play WMMT5 (not sure if they've updated it to 5DX). But at the Walter Mart right next to it, I play DDR X2.

Agreed with these four, but correction: it's "Speed of Light", not Sound of Light Laughing Hard

Also, I like grand piano keys, the motion simulator thingy at D&B, air hockey, the Mario Kart Arcade GP series, this one game called Ducky Splash simply because it makes me laugh, and Jurassic Fark Park Arcade (lol)

However, when I was younger, my favorite arcade game of all time was...Big Bass Wheel.

The only thing that isn't ticket redemption in the vicinity that I actually WANT to play is OutRun 2. It's the SP 4 player, sadly not the one with the hydraulics.

There are two gaming bars in the city anyway which makes the whole "going to the arcade" thing obsolete. There's Forza 6, with a decent setup, and they sell mojitos. Beat that, Funstation.

Whenever I go to the GameWorks in downtown Seattle, I mostly spend my time there playing those coin slider games that are oddly themed after Wheel of Fortune. They're ticket redemption games, which is my only incentive to play them. They also feature the titular wheel, which can only be spun if you manage to get your coin to drop down one of six slots at just the right time. Unfortunately, that's all I play there aside from DDR.

EDIT: And at Another Castle...the only thing I play there is the StepMania cabinet. They do have a few pinball tables, including one based on Super Mario Bros., but they don't really interest me as much as I wanted them to. Heck, they even have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, but beat-em-ups haven't really been my forte despite their catharsis factor.
Also known as d-feather.

More active on Twitter nowadays. I'm also probably the only casual DDR player with an eAmuse pass.

The only recent DDR machine in my area is dead last I checked. There are two Pumps at the same arcade.

I'd play SEGA Bass Fishing, NFS Underground, Mario Kart Arcade GP, or any of the other racing games. Also Time Crisis.
