G4's Icons / Game Makers 208 - The Arcade

This episode first aired on 04.28.03 and features, you guessed it, ARCADES. Remember those quarter-munchers? My favorite arcade game was the 6-player X-Men cabinet based on the Pryde of the X-Men cartoon pilot that NBC passed on, because they are dumb. Also, Wolverine had a bad Australian accent in it for some reason. No, not the game, the pilot. Anyway, the local arcade here gave you NINE LIVES on a single quarter. I'd sit and play that thing for like an hour and a half on one quarter. Also, is "quarter muncher" hyphenated or not? I don't know. All I know is the last time I played an arcade game, it was in a Dave & Buster's with my ex-girlfriend and the games cost like $3.87 for 3 minutes. Oh well. At least I can own the X-Men Arcade Game on consoles now. WOOHOO! Go nuts. Copyright G4 Media, at some point.
