I'm not that great at fighting games but I do enjoy the SF series and KI 1 & 2. I plain suck at MK. A girl at work claims she can kick my a$$ in MK and sadly I believe she can.

Arkanoid, the Off ROad game where you sit in the drivers seat and there is a hammer that smacks the back of the seat when you get shot/ rear ended, and Mortal Kombat II

I never played it enough to get good at it. I played MK2 instead.

MK2 was better, but KI is still #2 in my book.

Number 3 would be Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Edition, Championship Edition or Hyper Edition

Toobin and 720 are my favorite video arcade games.

Twilight Zone, Medieval Madness and Adam's Family are my favorite pinballs.

But probably the funnest arcade game ever is Hyperball (wierd pinballesque game by Williams), tough to find though. Must be played on a real machine, the emulators do not do it justice.

If you are near Northern California July 8-9 be sure to check out California Extreme in San Jose, fun.
