Well now, it seems that me and Legend shares a common arcade favorite: Virtual On
When I used to live in Japan I'd used to try and hit the arcades whenever my parent took us out into the city. I'd either go to the arcade floor of the department store or to SEGA World. Both places had a nice selection of games but "Virtual On" was one of my most favorite and memorable games.
As Legend mentions the controls used two joysticks and if I remember correctly (I havent played the arcade version for atleast 9 years ok?) each joystick corresponded to the "right" and "left" weapon, each stick had a button for the attacks, and there is also the "center" weapon that you hit both the buttons for. If you're a newbie to arcade gaming than the movement controls would've troubled you quite a bit as you'd have to simaltaniusaly move both joysticks to the direction you want to go. Another of my arcade favorites would've have to been the classic fighter games like "Capcom vs SNK" and the aracde classic "Street Fighters".
To add: Although I've never had the chance to I would've liked the chance to play Guilty Gear in arcades...now that would've been awesome. Oh, and I'd also wanna give Konami's "Otomedius" (Its an parody of the "Gradius" series obviously) a shot as they got Mine Yoshizaki, whom is known for Keroro Gunsou (Sergeant Frog...which is YET to hit the US...damn it), to do the character designs. I bet Legend would like to give this game a go as well. XD
