Arcade Madness!

Prelude 17 years, 4 months ago at Jan 13 16:44 -
One part of Listal Games that's severaly under-represented is Arcade games (true original arcades, not arcade ports on consoles), and its because these have to be entered manually (no Amazom source).

Here is what's I've added so far:

www.listal.com/search/games/1/?platform=Arcade

Please, if you've played, mark them off, and rate them what you think they deserve. I will be add many classics over the next few days, so this is just a start, and if you want to add some of your favorites, please do so, but try to get some descriptions and release dates (I get this from wikipedia) and try to include the actual arcade picture (make it primary) and at least one screenshot (google is good for these) and also at least one youtube video of gameplay (lots of them on that site).

cheers, arcade fans!

yes, all arcades, from the 70s to what's in arcades these days.

just make a new entry for Mortal Kombat, ignore the UPC and EAN entries, and type in Arcade for platform.

p.s. I'm not making seperate entries for every variant. For example, SFII has like 6 different versions of arcade (champion edition, hyper edition, etc..). And MK3 has an 'ultimate' edition with more fighters. I think it's best just to stick to one entry per title until this area gets more popular.

Now I can add this to the Castlevania list. I'll add Donkey Kong to the Super Mario Bros. list as well.

oh, and if anyone wants a real good source of all arcade games ever made, use this as reference for descriptions, pictures of the arcade machines, and screenshots (although most screen shots are GIF or PNG so you have to use MS-Paint to open and save as JPG before you can upload it)

The great thing about uploading YouTube videos is you're actually adding about twenty videos at the same time. There was a comparison made between Listal and YouTube about there always being something to click on to keep you on the site. I myself spent way too much time on Mario Frustration.

anyone know the name of an arcade where you sit on what looks like a bicycle seat and you have to pedal, and in the game, you are pedalling a sort of personal airship, and you have to tilt and pedal as you fly thru the air collecting stuff.

I want to add it but I can't remember the name... :(
