Mine would have to be Progear also. I'd really like to get Guwange though - I love that game!

As far as PCB's go, I would say the ESP.RA.DE-PCB. But without the Astro City It would not be much fun ;)

Maybe it's not the most expensive PCB I have, and I have other ones that I would not like to part with either... like IBARA (I love it) and Bubble Bobble. But there is something about ESP.RA.DE.

Oooooh Chihiro! Nice!

Mine would be a tie between Ikaruga in my Uni & R.Silvergun in the Cyberlead. Sure, it's cliche, but I don't care - I love those games and play them more than anything else still to this day :D

the Cyberlead is my lust cabinet. It purple for a start and its got the LED stuff going on. I would happily play only Hori games just so i could own one. Maybe on the first order ;-)

SFII Hyper Fighting, I LOVE that game, still playing it almost on a daily basis and I do believe is the best in the series. The only downside is that it is way too easy to complete. That's why my second choice would be HSFAnniversary (played at max diff level).

For me its probably my Time Crisis cab. Don't know why really just always fancied one. Bit of a bitch to get/keep going as well makes it more fun!

Street Fighter 2 Rainbow edition PCB, it may be a bootleg but having 20 Hadokens on the screen bobbing a weaving is just so much Win. :)

Has to be the Naomi cabinet really. My first candy (now have three) and without it all those PCBs are about as much use as a girlfriend who lives the other side of the world. Or something.

Oh if only I had a girlfriend who lived on the other side of the world.

- ketsui (I went in Paris just for this game, 1000 euros + add the train from switzerland, I remember it all my life, what a crazy thing..I start my trip at morning and come
back home in the same day evening..) it's a revised epromed board (that's why I have put a lot of money for it)

- futari 1,5 (I never bought a cave full kit before)

sf3.3 (my first expensive pcb, 500 euros) after that I closed my eyes on prices :-)
Arcade's nice when done well
