Playing The Grid with several people was probably the peak arcade experience for me; I think The Grid just purely exemplifies the arcade game in a way that couldn't be fully replicated outside of the arcade. You could totally make a home console/PC version (And I would love a full remaster) but it wouldn't be the same of using a joystick and track ball to run around an arena blasting the people next to you with killer loudspeakers, cannonballs, and sawblades. Just a blast to play and if you ever have the opportunity to play the actual cabs of it with people don't pass it up.

There's a full six-player two cab setup at Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, Illinois. Place is pretty much a video game museum.
I shouldn't be surprised they have cabs for it! That's always been someplace I wanted to check out if I ever make it out to Chicago.
