That was quality
Wrestlefest was awesome
The old star wars one in the 80's which you sat inside.
Double Dragon was cool back in the day...
The Leisureplex in Coolock used to have New Zealand Story when I was a kid. I mean, it may still have it, seeing as I haven't been there since I was a kid, but I doubt it.
New Zealand Story is ace.
New Zealand Story is ace.
I played that the other day on Xbox Arcade. It kept falling off the giant turtle just like 20 years ago.
The Simpsons.
Anyone remember the name of that game where it used to be co-op one person driving and shooting with the other just shooting, like a Lethal Weapon type ripoff.
Double Dragon and Altered Beast were both epic.
Scramble
Defender
Phoenix
Galaxians
Asteroids
Proper games.

A lot of my favourites have already been mentioned, especially the likes of Final Fight (which I now have on PS3 with HD graphics) Street Fighter, Out Run, 1942 etc.
Back in the 80's/early 90's Arcade Games were far superior graphically to any affordable console game. I remember looking at Streetfighter 2 in awe at how amazing the graphics were.
I say affordable because the Neo Geo system was as good, but from memory it wasn't officially available in Europe and the games were sold in triple figure prices.
Some other games I remember fondly are:
Star Wars
Chase HQ
Pole Position
Ghosts and Goblins
Bomb Jack
R Type
Does anybody remember Time Traveller? It had a cool hologram effect. I remember standing in queues watching people play it, but I don't recall playing it myself. It looked amazing at the time.

I'd completely forgotten about Afterburner, that was quality!
Wrestle mania, the one with honky tonk man, and andre the giant, used to put all my dinner money in it
