TMEC was my favorite head to head game.
It was a Combat type of tank game, I loved that game.

Come people, don't forget this classic series:

Golden Axe

Jump on that dragon and blast those ugly goons!
 

1942(The old airplane game)

Pacman fool

Contra (was this in the arcade?)

Qbert (Old old school:))

Can't remeber the name but this game had two "rambo like" fighters. It was a birds eye view setup, and the knob of the joystick would turn in order to turn your guy. I loved this game, and am ashamed for forgetting the name!

When my best friend and I want to kick each others ass old school, we pull out Killer Instinct. I must have sunk $100+ dollars in quarters to finally learn that friggin Eyedol code.

That?s one of my favorite game ever: Heavy Barrel.

You collect the six pieces of the uber-weapon (called Heavy Barrel) along the way. It counts up he pieces in an ominous voice??ONE??.TWO??..

When you get the sixth and final piece:
SIX???.HHHHHHHEEEEAAAVVVVVVVVYYYYYYY BARRRRRRRRELLLLLLLL!!!!!!

God, I miss that game. Looks like I will have to add some LS-30?s and a Druin?s to my MAME cab real soon J

Daytona USA rocked.

There was a version that had a bunch of Austin mini's driving around racing through a town. This would have been mid-90s or so. Graphics were pretty good. There was an e-brake on the cabinet for turning.

Anyone remember what that was called?
 

Heavy Barrell it was, thanks!

I remember working for a "Fun Park" called Mountasia when I was 16. All I did was play games. Customers were somewhere on the bottom of my priority list.

Mountasia closed, but the cool thing was that their tokens work in Chukie Cheese machines. So I now have a lifetime supply of tokens for my son:).

Classic game. I spent so many quarters on that in the arcade before I finally beat it. That and Street Fighter II....

strider, shinobi, double dragon, Cadash (i think that's what it was called, it was an rpg type side scroller).

TMEC was fun too. I loved that one.
