What is the best arcade shooter?

For me, it’s Time Crisis II, the pinnacle of the series.

>> No.6325659 [DELETED] 

Silent Scope (1999 arcade) is so cool with the little scope monitor but I think I enjoyed HotD2 on Dreamcast the most. Time Crisis is good too. Cover shooters with a light gun are good stuff. Have you ever played Police 911?

I wouldn't say it was the best, but literally every mall arcade, roller rink, pizza place, and lasertag arena I went to in the mid to late 90s had this machine. I've probably spent around $100 in quarters during my life playing it, and have beat it probably a dozen times. his game is forever burned into my brain and hits me with massive nostalgia anytime I see this cab still.

House of the Dead, Time Crisis II (although I personally preferred 3 for the weapon switching), and LA Machineguns are my top three.

I actually replayed the original House of the Dead for the first time in years and oddly enough I prefer it over 2. Luckily because of the near arcade perfect port on the Dreamcast I've played 2 countless times, but sadly we never got anything that came close to the arcade in regards to the home versions. The Saturn version is shit.

What about The Wii version?

Short but oh so sweet. I always couldn’t wait for the movie to be over so I could go back to the lobby arcade and play it some more.

House of the Dead 1 has a far better atmosphere and setting than 2.

Can I assume that shmups aren't barred from this discussion? I mean, they fall under the broader classification of shooters.

The girl on the side of the cabinet was the first thing I ever blew a load to because my dad had the game in the garage.
