Top 10 Arcade Games of All Time
Let’s face it, you can’t go to the seaside without hitting the arcades whilst you are there! From retro arcade games to more recent releases, we love them all! Of course some are better than others and when you don’t have much pocket change to spare, you will no doubt want to play the best of the best. For a list of the top ten arcade games to look out for just keep reading;
Street Fighter III 3rd Strike
It was obvious this beauty would make it onto the list. It’s a game which has becomeso popular that national and international tournaments are regularly held to crown players champion of the 2D beat ‘em up world! The game is a lot like other Street Fighters but with a twist. You can only use one super art move per match, giving the game an edge which no other Street Fighter has. With a mixture of drum and bass music, smooth 2D visuals and unusual Street Fighter characters mixed in with the classics, it’s easily one of the best fighting games of all time!
Time Crisis 2
Namco’s rail shooter popularized the genre and is ultimately the daddy of all rail shooters out there. It paved the way for co-operatively played rail shooters and was fuelled with adrenaline throughout its entirety. If ever there was a shooter you needed to look out for, this is it!
X-Men
Just how many other arcade games out there will allow you to play through a game with five other friends! X-Men is an extremely fun game which lets you play as any of your favourite X-Men characters and has that old retro feel to it which we all love.
Pacman
It doesn’t matter how old it gets, this game will always be one of the best! It’s a simple concept of dodging the ghosts to collect the little white dots, yet it’s probably more challenging than any game released on the Xbox 360! It would be a crime not to include Pacman in this list.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Whether it’s the old Sega Mega Drive games or the new ones, if you see this speedy blue hedgehog in an arcade you better get yourself to that machine! Being Sega’s mascot and influencing the platforms games of today, Sonic is easily one of the greatest video gaming characters of all time! Without Sonic, video gaming just wouldn’t be the same.
Metal Slug
Take Guy from the Street Fighter Alpha series, put him in a side scrolling game which is very much like Streets of Rage and you have yourself Final Fight! With its big chunky animated graphics and fantastic 32bit music, you can’t help but fall in love with this game.
King of Fighters ‘94
You can’t have a top ten list without mentioning one of the best fighters of all time! The King of Fighters franchise has been around for many years now and it was King of Fighters that combined Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury together into one big fighting frenzy. Of course all of the King of Fighters games deserve a play, but the reason I mention ’94 is because it’s the originator of the series!
Alien Vs Predator (Capcom edition)
I was compelled to add this into the list as it is so much fun! We’ve all seen these dancing games in action and although they are not to everyone’s taste for fear of feeling humiliated, you can guarantee a good time playing this game on Vs mode! Whether it’s Dance Dance Revolution or Dance Dance Revolution X, they are all just as fun as each other, so I urge you to break out of that shell and give them a go!

This is getting a bit more sietbcjuve, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I have passed on my love of arcades to my children. And thankfully at the few that are left around here, there are always a couple of dusty classics(usually a Galaga) in the corner.
I head straight for the old '80s games and my kids beeline for the biggest ticket-spitting monster they can find. It's all about the prize to them.
A semen analysis exaimnes certain characteristics of a male's semen volume and the sperm amount contained in the semen fluid. It may be done while investigating a couple's infertility or after a vasectomy to verify that the procedure was done successful. It is also used for testing some of the donors for semen fluid donation. Nowadays it is possible to create more sperm with absolutely safe ways like buying online herbal pills from the many Internet stores.
