What is your First Arcade Game?/Cuál es tu Primer Juego de Arcade?

[Nelson2001 Nelson2001]

That's really a great question...my honest answer would definitely be: who the hell remembers it? Between sunday school (which were very temporary anyways), some minor luna park and summer vacations with parents, I feel the possible answers can be:

• Point Blank
• Puzzle Bobble
• Super Pang
• the Capcom's D&D beat'em up/NBA Jam/etc. (maximum other 2 I have no clue which ones were), but both are very unlikely to have been the first ones.
• Wonder Boy (and another one I really can't remember the name)
• Metal Slug X

These are definitely the ones ever first seen But if I have to pick the one that was most likely the first one ever played, I'd pick the last one. Definitely have put arcade coins to try that one. First time I got an arcade stick (the Tekken 6 one) and played Metal Slug X with it, the nostalgia was tangible.

But hey, what matters is that you had the opportunity to play these great Arcade games at that time, although I played all those games (except Point Blank) through emulation, like MAME, for example.

Magician Lord, and it blew my mind how beautiful it looked. I wanted the home version so badly because it looked as good as the arcade version but sadly my parents were not millionaires.

Magician Lord is a good Neo-Geo game but at the cost that it is devilishly difficult even at Level 1, but it's playable and pretty good graphically and musically speaking to be a 1990 Neo-Geo game.

And I understand that your parents couldn't buy you the AES version of the game because it cost $100 at the time as in many Neo-Geo AES games.

But oh my god was it just so beautiful to look at.
