 RE:Space Invaders Extreme Co-Op Review
Alien vs Predator (Capcom) with its 3 player co-op is still awesome today, and is my favorite arcade game.

 RE:Space Invaders Extreme Co-Op Review
My favorite co-op arcade game had to be the X-Men game with 6 players and multiple monitors.

 Re: [Review] - Space Invaders Extreme Co-Op Review
I would say Galaga because I can score higher on Galaga than Pac-Man but without a doubt, my favorite Classic Arcade game is definately Pac-Man. Pac-Man is the first game I played (after Pong). I still play it today on Emulators, Arcade, and Xbox Live. So many great experiences playing Pac-Man and many of them involved people gathering around and watching or waiting to take turns. And, Cannot forget, the excitement of chasing the ghost's when they were regular colors "not Deep Blue from eating a power pill", using the "Donut Dazzler Pattern", You can see it here in a nice clear youtube video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZWAEMvRR48Yes, It was a sad day when the Pac-Man cafe closed in Orlando, it was a great place to get a hamburger and of course, play Pac-Man for hours. And I'm pretty sure I am the only one that still owns and plays the Gamecube Pac-Man VS. where you can hook up your GBA and play as Pac-Man while the other players are the ghosts with the 'cube controllers. Pac-Man is just an incredible design, standing the test of time. Pac-Man had simplicity with amazing AI, it even had a story via the cutscenes between levels. Went on to spawn cartoons, music (Pac-Man Fever), toys, etc. Definately a Legend and Iconic classic arcade game. A little history http://www.arcade-history.com/?n=pac-man&page=detail&id=1914

Best co-op was Marvel Ultimate Alliance as I could play with my whole family and still enjoy it immensely.

 RE:Space Invaders Extreme Co-Op Review
I had wished they would have added co-op to Pac-Man CE. It seems like running from (and chasing) ghosts together would have been a blast.
Favorite classic is either Xevious or Galaga, I blew hours upon hours on both. If I walk into a place with a Galaga machine, I still can't resist dropping a quarter in and taking one shot at the Hi Score.

 RE:Space Invaders Extreme Co-Op Review
Favorite arcade game of all time is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember as a kid going to see the movie, buying some of the trading cards, and then pumping quarters into the machine they had setup outside of the movie, oh man were those some good times  .

 Re: [Review] - Space Invaders Extreme Co-Op Review
favorite classic arcade game is afterburner, I remember it was the first game that I played that actually moved your whole body around with the machine.

 RE:Space Invaders Extreme Co-Op Review
I played the new afterburner recently. It's good, but I don't think it has the same range of motion as the original.
My favorite classic is Joust. It was my first co-op game, first PVP game, and the first game I played for 8 hours straight.

My wife has been begging me to play this in co-op with her. Will do so tonight, I believe.
