Agreed! Exactly what I was thinking when I read the subject. Lol I doubt anyone remembers but Carnevil would be amazing too.

Indeed. Speaking of fun, the Simpsons arcade game itself was so freaking fun to play. The Sheraton in Anaheim had it for a bit in the 90s, in a mini arcade room; I would use my quarters there like crazy when visiting.

I loved that game growing up. There is a small local restaurant that I go to sometimes now that has it. Make sure to play it and have my nieces and nephews play it to know what great arcade games there were compared to now

It would be fun to get some of the "secret" players in pop form too. Think Will Smith, Jazzy Jeff and Bill Clinton in basketball uniforms.

Oh, I didn't even think about the "secret" players in pop form. Now I really want these.

That’s awesome! It is a classic, no doubt so I am happy that they are able to play it in its original form. :cheers:

Lots of Burgertime and Alpine skiing Pops would be cool.

Postby **mikechickenhead** » Wed May 15, 2019 1:06 pm

Space Ace!
Final Fantasy X
Super Mario (duh..nintendo would kill!)

Postby **deejaylunchbox** » Wed May 15, 2019 1:12 pm

Punchout would be awesome as well as Killer Instinct.

for classics i'd like to see dig dug, Pole Position, Space Harrier, Metroid, Double Dragon and Joust.

BattleToads! Battletoads! My brother and I happen to run into a store once a few years ago and they had battle toads to play for a quarter. I probably wasted 5 bucks enjoying my childhood again. :freddy3:

I’d like it if they made Final Fight characters. Always loved that game. I’m not sure if it ever was an arcade game, but I wish they’d make pops of the characters from T&C surf from Nintendo. I loved thrilla gorilla growing up

I'd love to see some Double Dragon as well, since it was a game I played a lot growing up. Would also love to see an Opa Opa from Fantasy Zone and some Metal Slug Pops as well.

Battletoads was legit!!

Mortal Kombat pops already exist.

Personally, I’d love to see Dragon’s Lair or Space Ace. I spent so much money on those two games.

Mario and Luigi and Donkey Kong would also be very cool.

Awesome, I wonder how many BattleToads machines are still out there? I re-discovered the game recently in the RareWare collection for Xbox. What a Gem

I can't wait for the new BatteToads to be released. Been waiting for it since it was announced at E3 last year.

Centipede is my favorite arcade game. I was so happy that the "Mystery" Minis we re in game-specific packaging (thus the quotes around mystery lol

). It's one of my favorite figures. A Pop would be even better!

There's also a pretty expansive line of street fighter pops already made.

This takes me back to me hoping the Nintendo license is a reality one day. I want a Metroid or kid Icarus pop

Not sure if I should name my favorite games or ones that would just make good pops!... hmmm

Gauntlet - Green elf needs food badly
Rampage - Just 3 figures here
Golden Axe

Postby **conventiongeek** » Mon May 20, 2019 11:12 am

I think people may be showing their age here... when they say arcade games and people say Final Fantasy or Metroid. These games were not so popular in Arcades as they were on early versions of Nintendo or other systems. I remember a day when I could go into an arcade with a dollar and spend like an hour playing games. Now my kid spends $10 on V-Bucks just to get a different skin (that has no upgrades, no special abilities, no extra defense or anything). It just looks cool Dad! ugh... video games... I'll take my table top game system multi-cade over Fortnite any day... lol

It was announced by Microsoft, so it would probably be a Xbox exclusive.

This! I spent rolls of quarters seeing all the characters potion powers in Golden Axe. The best one was when Dragons would appear and decimate the enemy :cheers:
