On a somethingawful side project, users who learned of a genuine Korean arcade where you ram your tumb up a rubber ass as hard and fast as possible decided to photoshop other "arcade games which should never exist"

Here's one of the entries:

classic!

Flatlander Fox · December 19, 2002, 21:09

$280.75 later, I discovered Monarchy...

Imagine the millions spent on multiplayer with Deity!

i would pay that much for an arcade civ.....arcade games are always better than computer games

DrSpike · December 20, 2002, 12:03

Makes you wonder about the Koreans though........I think I'd prefer civ2 to their game.

War4ever · December 20, 2002, 13:26

i think only one group would like the korean game better

DrSpike · December 20, 2002, 13:27

Yeah CTPers.

War4ever · December 20, 2002, 14:28

Or RTS players

they like to charge right into things

If the game ran until you died, it wouldn't be a very big money maker. Most of us could play it for days on the original payment

They'd never make any money on an arrangement like that. Unless they made the AI a heck of a lot better.

Ming · December 21, 2002, 21:29

Mybe the AI starts off like it does in Civ III... you know, multiple units already on the board, and they know where you are

War4ever · December 23, 2002, 16:54

the ai knew were you were in civ2 too

DrSpike · December 23, 2002, 18:01

Arcade games that potentially take a long time often work through making you pay for time though.

War4ever · December 23, 2002, 19:26

yes but in the old days i could play pacman, ms pacman, dk, galaga, centipede, missle command, 1942,1943, bubble bobble, tron, etc....pretty much any game from that era for hours, or for as long as it took to beat the game on some of them....dragons lair 1 man, space ace 1 man etc....

nowadays i go through quaters too quickly...but then again, its all free credits on MAME emulators and roms

not that i support pirating or anything like that

Flatlander Fox · December 23, 2002, 20:51

Best arcade game when I was a kid was Double Dragon.

I pumped alot of quarters into that stupid game, but was pretty damned good at kicking the bad guys a$$ once I got the hang of it.

War4ever · December 23, 2002, 23:24

i particularly enjoyed kneeing repetedly to the head

samething i would like to do to you

DrSpike · December 26, 2002, 11:15

FF's special move:

Down, Down, Right + fire causes the character to jump behind you and use his razor sharp fox teeth on your unprotected back.

War4ever · December 26, 2002, 14:30

Flatlander Fox · December 27, 2002, 11:30

Too bad the Cards can't do that in real life.
