Arcade Review
I attended VCF Midwest 18 (retro computing festival) in Chicago with my dad this last weekend and we stopped by the Galloping Ghost Arcade. I jotted down a list of the games we played and figured I’d flesh that out with some notes/context for tumblr.
1. Tron - they had both the original machine and the Discs of Tron machine. Considering we had both brought Tron shirts, this was a hit with us.
2. Qix - I’m familiar with the “cut off the box while something bounces around in it” genre and I had heard this name before but I don’t think I’d ever connected those dots before. I wanna play some more of this one sometime.
3. Asteroids - a classic and not much to add, but the vector graphics were so bright and vivid here that it really looked cool. and the momentum feels pretty good too on the ship.
4. Street fighter/mortal Kombat - we played MK2 and 4 which was good fun, I’d like to play more of all of them. And we did one round of SF1-4 which was super fun. I wish it was easier to get into fighting games. And that I didn’t have to pick one main!
5. Commander havoc - this really impressed with the vivid vector graphics and interesting track-cylinder controls. I didn’t even get to the platforming part until playing later in the Atari collection on my vita! Which emulates the track-cylinder using the touch screen which is a nice touch, never heard of this game before
6. Battle zone - again, this is familiar territory but playing with the real headset and joysticks really elevates it.
7. Batman forever - this one was just silly, the photo scans of the actors looks so goofy on top of the movie already being goofy
8. Berzerk - a favorite of my dad’s
9. Wizards of Wor - this one played like Pac-Man if Pac-Man has a gun, really wasn’t bad despite never hearing of it before
10. Dragon’s lair - got further than I think I ever have before, new goal of mine is to actually beat this game or at least watch the full “movie”
11. Capcom vs - always fun until the game actually starts lol, love the rosters but I suck at these even more than normal fighting games. Highlight was my dad recognizing a couple character from tatsunoko and promptly kicking my butt with them
12. Dungeon and dragons hack and slash - already own this at home but always fun to see, I really ought to beat my copy sometime with someone else
13. Virtual fighter/tekken - again, takes me back to a simpler time but I need a local player 2 for these to be fun
14. Darius - I think we played the oldest and newest one. Neat novelty for the wide wide screen. On the old one, you can tell it’s a CRT in the middle flanked by mirrors reflecting CRTs on the bottom of the machine. I have burst on my vita and never played it before, it’s cool to see how arcade accurate it is now!
15. Silent scope - always gotta pop my head in here because it’s a fun novelty, I should try the home port someday for fun
16. La machine guns rage of the machines - I have this on Wii but it was fun to play the arcade version! I was surprised by how strong the rumble was. I need to play this, NY gunblade, and ghost squad more at home with my legit Wii zappers
17. Aerosmith - never knew this existed and boy is it buckwild and kind of hilarious. Never would’ve expected the Aerosmith game to be a rail shooter
18. Moonwalker - we played this for about 30 seconds before sharing nervous laughter and moving on
19. Journey - we called this one out ahead of time thinking it surely wouldn’t be here. Plays like tron where it’s actually 5 minigames featuring poorly digitized heads of the band members. Pretty funny
20. Resident evil gun survivor 2 - this was really curious! You aim with a lighting but also move by using the light gun as a joystick. Pretty neat but the multiplayer didn’t work for us. Looks like there’s a home port exclusive to EU/JP? I’d love to play more of this oddity
21. Castlevania arcade? - I think this was just a port of Castlevania 1 but still interesting
22. Super Mario bros versus - couldn’t tell if this was different from Mario 1 at all functionally but playing with an arcade joystick and buttons was neat!
23. Mario bros - I’m so used to the remake included with GBA Mario games that the original makes me embarrass myself when I play it
24. Donkey kong - I need to actually clear all the stages at least once
25. Sinistar - my dad clutched a win against the S man himself, kinda neat how this game has multiple phases and free movement
26. Star Wars arcade - we played a super low poly one because it was 2 player with a much higher poly one next to us but single player only. Also played a ROTJ speeder bike game with neat handlebar controls
27. Defender/Stargate - a classic, I need to get decent at this one sometime
28. Tempest - TxK was the first game I got on my vita and I didn’t really get it, but now I get it more and the graphics really impresses. I’d like to play more versions of this game
29. Pac-Man/mania - a staple like bread or eggs. Maybe someday I’ll play all them in order
30. Joust/2 - this was super fun. Really shines in PvPvE with an uncertain alliance. Transforming the mount in the sequel is neat, had never seen it.
31. Warlords - 4 player pong basically, but also reminded me a bit of boom blox. Keeping an eye out for this one now.
32. Night driver - never heard of it before but kind of fun
33. Pole position - feels so much better with a real wheel and pedal
34. Qbert - terrible at it but cute
35. Spy Hunter 2 - pretty fun in 2 player mode actually
36. Speed racer - this really surprised, this was super fun. Jumping over my dad was the highlight until we both collectively ran off a cliff and quit
37. Gauntlet dark legacy - somehow plays way worse than the GameCube version? But fun seeing this guy here
38. Robocop/2 - first one sucked, second one relatively impressed especially with the Wild Guns-Esque shooting gallery minigame
39. Contra - we had just played the DS Contra 4 so we had to play this one for comparison. As hard as I remember, especially for him lol. Also played an odd 2.5D contra in Japanese. I got the feeling it was a phone game port and googling now confirms yes, it is, called Contra Evolution
40. Ikari warriors - fun to play because of the unique twisting joystick. My dad lamented that we didn’t get to the tanks
41. Crystal castles - my dad showed off a secret warp trick on the first try that I managed to recreate on my vita port that uses the touch screen as a trackball. Way cooler with trackpad than joystick like I’d played before. Also always think of the musical artist
42. Cyberball - hot nonsense, he crushed me. Fun dual screen corner setup
43. Sonic the fighters - I had thought it would be fun if they had this one and they did! Didn’t play long but just fun to see it show up
44. Segasonic - this was my wildest guess as to what could even appear here, very happy to see it! My only chance to ever really play this game. Sadly, had a rude guest next ti me during it
45. Yi are king fu - this was high on my dad’s list and did in fact appear, he blazed through the first five levels quickly. I’d like to try and play this a bit more
46. Ring king - boxing game my dad was looking for, we really struggled to get started with the controls
47. Punch out - it was neat to get to play the arcade original with the wireframe graphics like his alternate costumes in smash bros
48. Judge dredd - this one was just kinda funny, classic stiff digitized photo graphics ala mortal kombat
49. 3D xevious - had never seen this, kinda neat
50. Super puzzle fighter - a favorite of my mother’s, fun to see the cabinet version. Especially since the XBLA port is weirdly compromised in some ways
51. Space invaders - this one was fun because it had a physical background graphic that the game sprites seemed to hover above, which was much more impressive than seeing just the game sprites in isolation
52. Mega man power battle - I had beaten both of these before on the capcom arcade collection for $1.99 a pop, but playing and seeing a real cabinet was a real treat
53. Paperboy - I always associated this game with the NES but the arcade version with a unique handlebar controller is a lot more charming. Still far too hard.
54. Pit fighter - so bad it’s good, this was on my dad’s list
55. Quake - this was a curious one, having to aim and move with just arcade buttons
56. Star Trek - pretty cute vector game, the Split View of first persons and top down is pretty neat
57. Cliff Hanger - fascinatingly, a laserdisc game in the style of Dragon’s Lair but repurposing clips from Lupin III without advertising itself as such.
58. Wrestlemania - not my first time playing this one, but always fun to see the super over the top moves
59. Rampart - one of my dad’s favorites, admittedly kind of advanced for the time with the base building in between rounds. Kind of an addicting gameplay loop if I am being honest
60. Quantum - super cute vector game with trackball that plays like Pokémon ranger where you have to draw circles around objects. Pretty good game feel, curious about this one
Didn’t get to play:
Popeye - favorite of my dad’s, screen broke
Star Wars episode 4 - similar
Mk3 - working but poor screen, my favorite MK
Soul calibur - the only had 2 and we ended up skipping it anyways
Silent hill - beautifully giant machine but was either down for repair or occupied
Monkey ball - had that silly banana joystick but down for repair

I have a challenge, I had searched for a game I remember playing in a store when I was a kid. It took me over 20 years to finally find out the game. Here you go: Early to Mid 90s light gun game. All I remember to go on was, you shot robots, one part you had to shoot a tanker truck to blow up robots or you would go to jail, you rode on a highway with robots popping up, and there was a level that was a department store. I finally found the name, but I wanted to give you a challenge.
I have to guess Gunblade NY (Sega - arcade - 1995), because there are definitely trucks and robots in it. But I suspect your game is something more obscure.
