That's another one I've only played emulated. Don't forget about the sequel as well.


Fun games, but really easy if I remember correctly.

Track and Field.

It's only fun if you have a cabinet and trackball, but it's an awesome game to play when drinking. Competition gets intense. Only bad memories are the injuries from spinning the trackball too fast and pinching your hand between the ball and the edge of the cabinet.

Aside from that, I love all of the classics, as well. Especially love Metal Slug as someone said previously.

There used to be a small amusement park in the metro Atlanta area called American Adventures. They still had X Men in their arcade up until closing a few years ago.

And not the golden age, but some of my favorites from the late 90s:

Track and Field with the trackball was easy mode. Button version without using the pencil trick was the way to go.

Here's my cabinet, built the control panel, bought an old busted NFL Blitz cab I restored and used the monitor. All the ball tops/buttons/trackball have RGB LEDs in them, use a program called LED Blinky to force them to change colors based on the MAME game/console emulator/front end being displayed.



Old pic right after I finished restoring the cab, got to love how terrible the April was for the side art.

in that arcade PunchOut the Russian was still called Vodka Drunkenski instead of his later rename to Soda Popinski for the NES
