Thinking of buying a standalone arcade game for my apartment

[Lonhro]

I would get SF2 or the original TMNT machine - i lost (read: spent) sooooo much money in that game as a kid. Donatello rules.

Centipede
Donkey Kong
Gauntlet
Galaga (sit down version)

[Ikonoclast]

Galaga is the only choice. MAYBE MAYBE X-MEN Arcade, but that would get boring after you beat it. (but it has sick multiplayer support).

[Full-Metall]

The Simpsons or Bucky O'hare

[RayPowers]

I have:
Guantlet - Still love it
6-1 currently loaded with Puzzle Bobble, and 4 other games I never play. :P
Marvel vs Capcom - out for repairs
Puzzle Fighter - out for repairs

Gauntlet was my first and is still my fave.

Damn. Just damn. I've got Gauntlet on the Xbox 360, and it completely blows. Doesn't come close to doing justice to the stand-up.

NBA Jam, Double Dragon, or Mortal Kombat II

How much are repairs and how much of a hassle are they? I would imagine these machines get beat up kinda quickly(at least they did at the local arcade).

I second this. Easy access to thousands and thousands of arcade games.
