Tunnel Runner.
Major Havoc.
Star Trek.
Lunar Lander.

We had a sit-down Star Trek in my first arcade (yeah I was an arcade manager, district manager and regional manager), and it was kickass. The buttons were on one side, and the spin controller was on the other. Very very cool.

I loved 1941 and 1942. Still have the circuit boards for those games in storage.

I would play Space Panic until I got the shakes.

Good times...good times.

Amen to Ms. Pac Man. With the possible exception of Galaga, a quarter never went farther

 

[Emos]

Man I must be getting up there in years...Space Invaders was the one that initiated me to video games! Games that separated the most quarters from me over the years include Gorf, Berserk, Spyhunter (the one that you sat in), Xevious and Gauntlet. College games include Street Fighter II and Operation Wolf.

 

[BP]

Tempest
Jump Bug(anyone remember that?)
Phoenix
Asteroids

 

[Foxymophandle]

All time BEST arcade game that ever was:

The sit down Star Wars game. The one with the various green lines, kinda like the old vectrex systems. Who here (that remembers it) can't say running the Death Star trench, and launching those torpedoes wasn't the most thrill $0.25 could buy.

fmh
