The title on this thread says it all

What about an Arcade Straight game since we already have 8 u.s and 9 u.s

Even 8 ball UK arcade would be nice too, just a suggestion

Don't even want the 8 and 9 ball arcade let alone any more!
Arcade killers got to be the most ridiculous idea! You would have week long games lol

Hardly. Look at killer on snooker, that takes no more time to complete than it does over here.

Also before 9 ball arcade was released look at all those people who didn't even want it because they would think they would get a runout like every break, but they were wrong.

If somebody misses a pot when you can pot any ball in giant pockets there is something majorly wrong, would go on for ever.
Sure arcade on snooker is closer to normal on here than arcade so hardly comparable.

You've totally missed the point. Games take no longer on an easier table to pot than it does on a harder table! Because it's easier to pot, it's also easier to play a good safety shot. Works both ways.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think the site should have any more arcade games right now, there's enough already.

Disagree we were talking killer, i'm saying that it would be impossible to leave a ball unpottable on those tables you just whack them somethings going in!

It would still work both ways whether if it's Straight or Killer. Yes, it is easier to pot especially if you whack them but the chance of sinking the white would be much greater.

that is what i was thinking, almost every break that I have, I seem to pot 2 balls so in arcade straight there would be a difficulty when breaking the rack of balls.

Surely straight and killer are supposed to be a test of potting and position?
When the potting is so ridiculously easy it's just a joke game

if arcade versions do get brought out it should be UK only (with US and 9 Ball still here), although Arcade Killer does sound fun.

golf/killer/straight should stay as it is

arcade version of straight would be more difficult than what you think. Personally almost every break that i have in 8 ball arcade i pot at least 2 balls. It would be more about cue ball control. goos idea though

i think it would be good because maybe it could be first to 50 and we would see alot of 100 + breaks

it would also be easier to keep a run up when u finish a rack because it would be easier to pot off the break
