If you could own an arcade...

If you could own an arcade but were limited to only 15 games, which ones would you pick?

Here's my list, in no particular order:
- Ninja Baseball Bat Man
- Tempest
- Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
- Dragon's Lair
- Ms. Pac-Man
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Mappy
- The Simpsons Arcade Game
- Metal Slug X
- Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara
- Xevious
- Donkey Kong
- House of the Dead
- Joust
- Mega Man: The Power Battle

Gaunlet
Initial D
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Time Crisis
Pinball machine
Flat table top pong
Punching machine
Arm Wrestling machine (lol I remember this one from an arcade that closed down a few years ago near my uni, It was actually a funny spectator game)
Foosball 

Lol idk if this counts since it's not usually found in a arcarde
billards table

There are others that I forgot the name of... 

My frat had a Asteroids machine, it was awesome!

  Speed Rumbler Jackal Galaga Pac Man Street Fighter Gauntlet Pinball Pool Air Hockey Punch Out! Foosball Donkey Kong Nascar Racing But the kicker for me would be like the arcade I went to as a child: 7 tokens for $1, 40 for $5 and 100 for $10. You could also get sodas and pizza and just plop them on the machines and eat while you played. Place was epic, open til 2AM, and the games were 1 or 2 tokens per game.

Capcom vs SNK
Time Crisis
The House of the Dead
Ninja Turtle II
DonPachi
Alien vs Predator
Superman the arcade game
The Simpsons arcade game
Die Hard arcade game
Asura Blade
Pacman

These would be in my arcade I would love to have one if I ever am rich...  along with setups of all my favorite consoles There would be a pool table as well and a snooker table as well as a place to play chess and Backgammon  and poker and Magic the gathering....

I would so nerd out on it from video game characters to Comicbook and book characters ... stuff like Robin of the hood and Game of thrones to Star wars and LOTR to Harry potter...

#1) Killer Instinct

Only one I ever need.

I used to collect arcade PCBs, Killer Instinct was one of em but its life span is limited. Uses a HDD so eventually it will die so you'd be a bit f*cked. :)

I owned:

- Shinobi
- The New Zealand Story
- Strider
- Willow
- Killer Instinct
- Double Dragon
- Robocop
- Bubble Bobble
- P.O.W
- Street Fighter
- Street Fighter 2
- Vulcan Venture
- TMNT
- Aliens
- Sunset Riders

Not really an expensive hobby unless you want the full kits (Bezel, Marquee, Manual) at which point you may as well start burning any money you own. Sold all my kit on a few years back, sad times. :(
