Megamaniac Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Say you wanted to own 3 and 3 only coin-ops due to space. What 3 would you choose (don't limit to Atari unless you feel compelled). Me, I'm giving it some thought! Probably: Donkey Kong Frogger Galaga Sadly, I'm in the house market and wondering about a basement and I KNOW the only reason I'm doing that is due to some subliminal thought stream tricking me into wanting a subterranean game room.

Albert Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Tough decisions. 1) Robotron: 2084 2) Tempest (used to own one) 3) Stargate The last one is negotiable, the first two are not. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cvo Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 For me: 1) Frogger 2) Golden Axe 3) Raiden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Centipede Galaga/Ms Pac Man combo (HA!) Sega Rally I never realized how difficult this would be to decide... "Also ran" hall of fame: Virtua Fighter 2 Robotron 2084 Daytona USA Wizard of Wor Metal Slug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 1. Frogger 2. Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man anniversary edition 3. Gauntlet I'd also try to sneak Pengo in there somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 If I had to pick three. 1. Donkey Kong. I just want one.. and I know I will have one.. soon 2. Robotron 3. And the sentimental favorite, upright TAITO Space Invaders Part 2. The Taito version and NOT the Midway version. This version is ultra rare and outside of a flyer I quite honestly have never seen it in the states nor on ebay ever. I did play it a lot as a kid however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadtower Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Starwars cockpit Ms Pacman House of the Dead Of course, if it's allowed, I'd gladly swap that Ms Pacman for a good high end mame machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megamaniac Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 Does anyone know of other combos that existed for Frogger or Donkey Kong? A DK trilogy console would about do it for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I am quite happy with my Asteroids cocktail table (the only arcade machine I own), but I'd trade it for Space Duel. So, I've got my hypothetical Space Duel machine. The other two I want: Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga combo unit Centipede/Donkey Kong combo unit If those latter-day combos don't count, then: Donkey Kong Tempest (Ah, what the hey... I'd be happy to just have a complete collection of the Atari vector games! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megamaniac Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 Centipede/Donkey Kong combo unit Excellent! So I don't have to consider axing Galaga to get Centipede. Sweet. So my new list so far is" Donkey Kong/Centipede Galaga/Ms. Pac Man Frogger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Maybe I'm on crack. I am 99% sure I saw and PLAYED a Centipede/Donkey Kong combo unit at the arcade auction where I bought my Asteroids cocktail... but I can't seem to find info on them now. (It did seem an odd combination to me.) I am finding info on the Centipede/Missile Command/Millipede machine, which certainly makes more sense, all of them being Atari games. But I still believe I did see the Centipede/DK combo, which is what I would want. Can anyone else corroborate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find this though...which goes on my list! http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter...=D&game_id=7618 Double Donkey Kong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did play it a lot as a kid however I believe Funspot (Weirs Beach, NH) has this very game that you mention. Taito version and all. I will check the next time I head up there for the Classic Gaming Tournament in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megamaniac Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Choosing 3 made this very difficult! Guess I should have said 5 or 7! My answer changes with each new addition here. Ghosts 'n Goblins was a game I loved playing. And Paperboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
