So what's your favorite arcade game?

[Balt]

TMNT was just awesome in the arcade (unless you got stuck with Raphael who sucked).

I also liked shooting/racing games in general.

King Boxer
Mat Mania Wrestling AKA Exciting Hour
Golden Tee
Karate Champ
Track & Field
Hyper Sports
Killer Instinct

I forgot about that one, I love and miss it.

Probably Ridge Racer. I set course records every place I played it. I think if there had been a national tournament for that game, I would have been up there. Text

Other favorites:
Cruisin USA (had that one down pat too) Text
Cruisin World (never had a chance to perfect all the courses) Text
Marvel vs Capcom games (Wolverine and Ryu/Akuma, FTW) Text

I could totaly take you in Ridge Racer. I put enough quarters in that game to pay for the building the game was in.

That was one thing I liked about Cruisin USA. The place where I learned had it set so that if you won, you keep playing. Of course, if you win enough times in a row, the computer cheats and their cars go much faster than they should...

I have the Arkanoid Returns arcade game, it's a blast. I prefer Elevator Action II though. Same main board. I think I have nine games total for the Taito F3 system.

[49erinnc]

Being born in the early 70's, I spent a ton of time in arcades during the 80's. Some great times. I used to go to a local Putt-Putt Golf and Games on Saturday mornings where for a small fee, you got unlimited credits on all the games, unlimited Putt-Putt and a hot dog lunch. My all time favorites:

Galaga
Tron
Jungle Hunt
Turbo (sit down version)
Star Wars
Dragon's Lair
Defender
Joust
Punch Out
Donkey Kong
Burger Time
Elevator Action
