POLL: If you had to have one arcade machine...any single one..which would it be?

I had to go with the most practical choice, the Neo Geo MVS system. 4 slot would be ideal. The cartridges are cheap, easy to find and you'd have a vast array of awesome fighting games along with some other random genres to boot.

If I couldn't do that, I'd want my favorite game ever, the arcade version of Ghouls N Ghosts.
 
No question.

Mr Do or Gyruss. Since I can get Gyrus from the 360 live arcade, I guess I'd have to go with Mr Do. And I'd want a coctal version of that. It would work great as a mini kitchen table.
 
considering that I could get most of the arcade games listed on some type of console, I went with a pinball machine. There is one pinball machine I would love to own and its World Cup 94. It's main gimmick was a goal at the top with a goalie that moved around. Multiball could be enabled when you completed certain task, it was by far my most favorite pinball game ever. Coming in second for me would be the SNK cabinet but since I can get most of those games on consoles, I went with pinball.

I would have to go with WrestleFest because it is the funniest wrestling game that I have ever played and I would rarely lose at it when I was younger.
 
Galaga, freaking Galaga. I have Galaga for just about every platform it's ever been on and I play all of them. I can play for five minutes, or for an hour, sitting down, standing up, and I always play it in an arcade if I happen to see one. It hasn't gotten old for me in almost 30 years so it would probably be the best machine for me to have.

Shit, Pinball should be a separate category altogether. I may have to change my vote becuase If I happened to come across a Williams Cyclone machine in good condition, I'd buy it.
 
I chose daytona because Sega has never done an arcade perfect home version. The original Saturn one is pretty close, but those other versions just don't feel the same, too slow and powersliding isn't the same.

The feeling of slamming the breaks, throwing it in 3rd, and then gently feathering the gas/steering to perfectly take a hairpin turn at 160 is amazing in the arcade setup, you can't replicate that at home.
