Top 5 Missing Gems at Rusty Quarters

Based on the feedback that the owners of Rusty Quarters have collected throughout the years, here are the Top 5 Missing Classic Arcade Gems that we at FORQ hope to someday help bring to our favorite Twin Cities arcade:

5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


In 1989, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were television, movie, and action figure stars.  While Ultra Games created a commercially successful home console game, it wasn't until Konami released this amazing 4-player co-op game that finally allowed gamers to become the Heroes in a Half Shell.  Nearly 25 years later, gamers still love this classic beat-em-up!

4. Mortal Kombat 3


To know how to finish an opponent with a Fatality was to be a God in the arcade.  Mortal Kombat 3 brought fierce and brutal competition between gamers of all ages.

3. Mr. Do


Mr. Do actually used to reside at Rusty Quarters, but because of some issues with the original cabinet they had to let it go.  RQ gamers have been clamoring for it ever since, and it is a cabinet that both Annie and Sage greatly regret having to part with.

2. The Simpsons


Ay caramba!  Who would've thought that a 4-player beat-em-up based on an animated sitcom would be as wildly popular as it was (and still is)!

1. Street Fighter II: Championship Edition


Street Fighter II brought gamers back into the arcades in droves in the early 90's, pitting player vs. player in this fighting classic.  While two fighters currently reside at Rusty Quarters (X-Men: Children of the Atom and Tekken 4), SF II is the one that gamers want the most.
