the main ones i played were street fighter II champion edition and mortal kombat. the x-men i remembered but i didn't play it as much as this two. i remembered saving my school allowance so i can play every friday right after school... straight to the arcades. those were the days...

Aww man i think i played the exact same thing, except it wasnt side scrolling. I know you sat in a helicopter cockpit and looked down on a screen while you were fliying through cities and shit, blowing targets to afterdust. If this was the same thing, then yeah i had lost many a dollar on that one to. I remember i became addicted to virtua cop aswell, even bubble trouble is a game i would pour five dollars into, on a day at the laundary mat.

Yup, it sounds like you're describing the same game. Damn, I wish I could remember the name of that game... it was pretty fun. Here are a couple more that I have fond memories of, but didn't quite make my top 10:

Tron
Space Ace (much better than Dragon's Lair)
Gyruss
Halley's Comet

what bout galactica, defender, carn evil, or wrestlemania, that had the ultimate warrior, hulk hogan, big boss man, macho man randy savage, and a few more of your old time faves.

Never heard of Galactica... I know Galaga and Galaxian quite well, though.

I never really cared for Carnevil... especially when there were much better shooters out at the same time (House of the Dead series, Time Crisis, L.A. Machine Guns).

I'm not a big wrestling fan, either. So I've pretty much passed on those games as well. Punch Out! was probably one of the only fighting/wrestling type games I've ever liked playing over the years.

Yeppers... that's number 9 on my list. The option to take different paths each time you played made Outrun one of the first racers out there to up the replay factor a notch. Now they want to remake it for the consoles... I'm very nervous about this.

DdR 😄

well i guess i was the only one to really apreaciate the game

Ah... street fighter vs mortal kombat.. them were the days..
