Let's see.
At one arcade, there is a 1-slot with Bust A Move Again EX, and a large (31"?) cabinet of Prehistoric Isle 2, decorated with the marque and all the instruction sheets.
At another, they have a 1-slot with Garou: MotW, a 1-slot with Strikers 1945 +, a large 1-slot with Bust A Move, a 1-slot with Bust A Move Again EX, a 4-slot with only Magical Drop 3, two 6-slots (at least one of them was full) with KoF '97, Samurai Shodown 2, Samurai Shodown 3 I think, Fatal Fury 3, Fatal Fury Special, one of the Super Sidekicks games and some others I can't remember, they also had another 1-slot with Metal Slug 3, one more with Metal Slug 2 and maybe by now they got another one. This place used to get every new game (WHP, RBFF series, KOF series, PI2, MS series, S1945+, MD series, puzzle games were staple & so on), and even had KoF '95 & '96 tournaments, possibly for other years as well but I know for sure with those two. Occaisonally they would also have an MVS game on the projection screen, like Prehistoric Isle 2 or Metal Slug X for example.
At another arcade, there's a 4-slot with (last time I checked, which was a while ago) Neo Bomberman, Neo Turf Masters, Magical Drop 2 and Shock Troopers, another large 1-slot (like the one mentioned for P.I. 2) with Garou: MotW, I was told they got KoF 2000 as well by a friend who used to work there.
At another arcade, they had a bunch of Japanese candy cabinets (the back-to-back machine thing) with a few copies of King of Fighters 2000.
Another arcade has King of Fighters 2000 on a 1-slot, Strikers 1945 + on a 1-slot, Bust A Move Again EX on a 1-slot I think it was, plus one or two more games I believe but I don't recall that well.
At a pool hall/arcade where one of my cousins and I go, they have a 2-slot with only Neo Turf Masters, a 1-slot with Bust A Move, they used to have a 1-slot with Blazing Star, they also have another one or two MVS cabinets but I haven't been there in a while, so the games may have changed.
There's another arcade downtown has King of Fighters '98 in a 1-slot, plus it had a multi-slot machine at the back with Samurai Shodown 2 and whatever I'm forgetting. They may have another 1-slot with Bust A Move or something but I forgot.
In the Chinatown Centre, which I have not been to for a long time now, they had a couple MVS machines last time I checked, with KoF '98 (which was current at the time), I think it was a 4 or 6-slot but I never thought of seeing what machines they had back when I went there semi-regularly; I just kept forgetting.
One of the mall movie theatres close by has, maybe by now had, a 1-slot with King of Fighters '98. At the other movie theatre in that mall they might still have a 1-slot with Bust A Move
Another mall arcade, much closer to me, has at least one or two 1-slots (though likely not much more than that, if any) with, you'll never believe this, Bust A Move and something else.
There were two arcades downtown that closed down, one earlier this year, one about a year and a half ago, or was it this past summer? the former of which had at least two MVS cabinets with Magical Drop, Bust A Move, some fighters etc. while the other had a 1-slot with Bust A Move, a 4-slot with what I forgot, Real Bout Special comes to mind, maybe King of Fighters '96 & more, a 6-slot with Shock Troopers, Samurai Shodown 2, 3 & 4?, or maybe it was only two of those three, and other games I can't remember.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. I can't believe how deprived most of you are by the looks of it, and with this sort of selection (plus all those non-Neo games) I have never really known arcades to be anything else. Finding MVSes is not too difficult a task, it's coming across one with something other than Bust A Move where the real challenge lies.
