There is way to many to list...Golden Axe, Outrun, Shinobi, Super Hang-on, After Burner, Space Harrier, why are you so cruel with these questions? making so hard..for me...the only god given Choice, would have to be Outrun, I don't know how much coins I pumped into this, but it didn't matter, it was utterly worth every penny, Perfection!

God this is a tough one - in fact it reminds me how many great sega games were actually out there.

For pure nostalgia though it has to be OutRun - with magical sound shower selected.

Yes, there are so many classic Sega arcade games to choose from, but, for me, it has to be Shinobi. Ah, so many good memories of playing this in the local fish and chip shop, impressing everyone who queued up for their lunch (well, that's what I thought at the time, anyway).

Outrun 2 is my favourite driving game - but my fav Sega arcade cab is Star Wars Trilogy Arcade.

I've given this question some thought and decided that the answer is Outrun. While sitting on the Super Hang-On bike and the sit down Space Harrier impressed me it has to be Outrun. I only ever visited arcades when on holiday and it's the game that made the biggest impression on me. I remember Outrun was the first game I played when I walked into the arcade, usually at 9am when the arcade opened, and the last I would play before being dragged out by my parents a few hours later. It's a monumental arcade release even though Outrun 2 has since moved the goal posts. That bright red deluxe sit down cabinet is a thing of beauty :)

And I swear the kids were all playing Sega Rally, Need For 50p A Second diddnt get a lookin. Well done youth of today... theres hope!


Even the youngsters can spot good fun gameplay over flashy graphics with thousands of cars & tracks. :)

A toss-up between Daytona USA and House of the Dead (plus it's sequels) for me. Both are excellent at hoovering up your change and must-plays when in an arcade.

I'd love to own the original cabinets of Daytona USA and HotD III.

Golden Axe. I remember the dwarf Gillius Thunderhead used an axe that was gold in colour. I never read the story until years later & always thought his axe was the "golden" one from the title :)
