Your top three Arcade machines?

[Darren S]

In no particular order, I'd say the following battered my pocket-change more than anything...

• 1942
• Nemesis (and Salamander, if I saw it)
• Knights of the Round Table

These young 'uns these days would laugh at the hey-day products of Taito, Midway and Williams. Their mobiles probably have far more detail and depth than the arcade cabinets of old....

Phoenix was pure class! I remember they had that at the hotel we were at in '81. It was the first time I'd ever been abroad and remember that specifically. I must have spent a fortune on that thing.....!

I never did get into those StreetFighter games. I think I missed something special (at the time) there....

Rainbow Islands was one of the best games imo for the Amiga. I actually thought it played and looked better than the arcade machine that it was based on.

Very clever, very addictive and very weird. Classic Taito design
