Ladies, Gentlemen an' children of all ages -- Arcade proudly welcomes you to Murderworld. Where nobody ever survives!!

—Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 66

How do, Cyclops? Welcome to my "lady or the tiger" room. You have three doors -- one's a way out -- the other two lead to horrible deaths. The choice is yours

Lordy, it's almost a shame to have to kill you.

I'm not losing control. I'm giving it away. Don't you people know how to have fun with your murders?

—Avengers Academy Giant-Size Vol 1 1

Good. That's the problem with sophisticated A.I. sometimes it develops...unpleasant quirks. Occasionally it can't see what's right in front of it. But really...so few can.

—Avengers Arena Vol 1 13

Isn't it something? Isn't it something to see?

—Avengers Arena Vol 1 16

No! If we don't obey the rules, then it stops being a game. It's just "life." Ugh. On the other hand, rules are like men: made to be broken.

—Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol 1 22

Gather 'round, folks, and feast your eyes on some of the deadliest creatures ever to roam the Earth! We call them -- the Savage Six!

Yes, sir, these Hunters are a breakthrough in direct-to-kill technology! Don't take it from me, though... how about we get a volunteer up here to demonstrate?!

Welcome! Here you are! Welcome! It's time to play... and believe you me, I'm as eager to get started as you are! So let's get down to business, shall we? There are two hundred of you. By the end of this contest, there will be only one left alive. One winner. The game takes as long as it takes. There are no rules, except the ones I make. The winner claims the prize of a hundred million dollars and a new life. You know I can make it happen. Your past can be erased. You want a new face, a new name? You got it. You survive this? You can have anything at all. Want to run a country? You got it. All you have to do is win.

—Murderworld: Avengers Vol 1 1

I wonder how much O.G. Spidey charges in licensing fees for these wannabees.

—Murderworld: Spider-Man Vol 1 1

I've been thinking of starting a franchise. I'm gonna need someone to manage a spin-off for me.

Oh, hello... Miss "Down On Her Luck" pop star and her punker friend. Someone's offering so much money to end your world apology tour. Let me bring the Murderworld experience to you!

—Dazzler Vol 3 3

I promise... I've given up games of murder. I'm done with death traps. Okay... maybe a tiny little death trap.

—Arcade (Earth-616)

I can't remember what they call this one. Is it Spider-Belle? Spider-Gal? Spider-Ma'am? I can't keep track of them all!

—Ghost-Spider (Arcade LMD) (Earth-616)

Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man --

—Spider-Man (Arcade LMD) (Earth-616)

Look at this! She can't possibly think she's gonna break a Mark-IVV Slayer LMD? Ridiculous.

—Ultimate Spider-Man (Arcade LMD) (Earth-616)

Ladeez, gentlemen, an' children of all ages -- Arcade welcomes you to -- MURDER WORLD, where nobody ever survives!!

—Murderworld

Shatterstar	I don't want to fight you, Domino, but I have no choice. I promise to end this quickly.
Arcade	One more thing, in case either of you has any reservation about taking on a former teammate, consider this -- -- if either one of you tries to pull your punches or throw the fight, I'll kill your mutual friend Rictor!

—X-Force Vol 1 76

White Rabbit	Arcade, sweetie, does this outfit make me look fat?
Arcade	Yes, enormous... larger than life itself. In fact, the sight of you disgusts me. Go back into the bathroom and puke up the sushi you had for lunch.
White Rabbit	I already did that and spent an hour on the treadmill.
Arcade	Then all hope is lost. I'll be taking a plump white rabbit to the opera.
White Rabbit	You're so mean to me.
Arcade	I'm not being mean. It is called reverse psychology. If I tell you that in fact you are too skinny, your little bunny ears hear something completely different. You hear, "I'm a fat liddle wabbit." Therefore, to keep from butchering you in your sleep out of sheer frustration, I have to tell you what you think you want to hear. You see, when you continuously ask me questions of that nature and I respond in truth, you disregard it.
White Rabbit	So you are saying I'm fat!
