If you could own any arcade game, what would it be?

Hmmmm, A four slot MVS with Metal Slug would rock.

If I had the space I'd get a massive Time Crisis 2/3/4 (Any of the two player ones) cabnet. However I urge people who enjoy gun games to play Crisis Zone. I love that game, You use an SMG instead of a hand gun (I believe it was a MP5 as you were S.W.A.T. or something).

I would really go crazy if I had Shock Troopers 2 : 2nd Strike for Neo Geo MVS. That game is awesome. Like metal slug from above.

even better:

Rawket Lawnchair!

No wait, that's from the later Slug games I guess...

You could have Metal Slug 1, X, 2 and 3 in a four-slot
Ahhh that would rock

I like the enemy chaser mice

Iron Lizard!

I have MS 1 and 2, and I want to get X or 3. X is cheap enough, but 3 is still a bit spendy. Neo Geo isn't really expensive anymore. I payed $40 for my MVS board, $10 at Ax-Man surplus for a nice 5V 1A power supply to run it with, about $30 for my RGB->NTSC converter, and some small change for other misc. parts like a power switch and some audio jacks. I currently have in my collection a Samurai Shodown, KOF 94, and Metal Slug 1 and 2. I payed less that $100 for all this stuff, including the games. My opinion is that it's worth the cost, because I would pay much more than that just to have a new system and Metal Slug Anthology.

Mostly because I have it on my MAME, and it gets boring after a while.

Damn, that's a nice set up you've got there! I've played KOF and Samurai Shodown on MAME, I bet they're great on the real thing. If I had more cash, I'd get an MVS, but I'm pretty much skint at the moment

I'll see you in hell!

If anyone can tell me who said that, you get a cookie.

Seriously, I'd love to either have a MVS (loaded with Metal Slug and Puzzle Bobble) or a DDR Extreme machine.

Edit to cover double post: The answer's in the one below.
I'd kill for a DDR machine. It's like an instant party in an arcade shell

Oh Oh Oh Oh Skyone! I know

It's the guy with the machinegun who's topless. I think he first appears on level 3, the ice stage in Metal Slug 1. He then gets eaten by a whale in one of the other ones, I can't remember which one.
Does he have a name?
Cookie for me!:P

Street Fighter 3 - Third Strike.

Classic series of games, but imo 3 is the best, possibly even better than the 2 series.

I know it's ONE, but my second choice would probably be Mortal Kombat 4. I do like my Beat em' ups
