I'm glad Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram was mentioned at all, but it totally belongs on the list. Playing with the twin sticks in the arcade is such a unique experience. (The peripheral for consoles doesn't quite capture the arcade feel.) OT is also the best in the series.

(brandon:) I just don't think any of us really have fun playing it! I appreciate it a lot visually and mechanically but it's never been fun for me to actually operate.

loved this episode! It's like wrapping up in a big, cozy blanket. Only that blanket is arcade games. Frank championing the Xmen arcade cabinet made me smile because that was my go-to cabinet at the tiny arcade in the skate rink in my town growing up.

I also went to Boomer's a lot growing up. It was owned by a classmate's family and his nickname was actually Boomer - it must have been named after him? He drove his own Porsche at 16. Here to maximize on the one time in my life this information will ever be relevant to share

haha what

i gasped at hearing of an active jurassic park arcade machine out there- that game is so good, was at my local Chuck e. cheese VOOT gets a lot more fun with a solid controller you can bind jump and crouch (fastfall) to L1 and L2 respectively. thank me later
