Tempest -- nm - Epiphany Feb 3, 00:32
Elevator Action or Joust -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 21:00
Depending on the year, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, The Simpsons Arcade, or NBA Jam. -- nm - David Feb 2, 20:59
Pacman. Then zaxxon, rampage, or splatter house -- nm* - zork Feb 2, 20:44
1942 -- nm - JD Feb 2, 19:37
Centipede -- nm* - eag Feb 2, 19:18
QBert -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 2, 19:12
Galaga most of the time but it could be Paperboy or Pole Position as well. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 19:12 4
- Not sure I ever lasted longer than 30 seconds in Pole Position—crashes were fun though -- nm - Flavorize Feb 2, 19:13 3
  - Prepare to qualify - Krusty Feb 2, 19:16 2
    - I almost said Spy Hunter for must play—definitely in my top 3. Loved all the gadget (oil slick, smoke clouds, etc) -- nm - Flavorize Feb 2, 19:20 1
      - Yup. It was fast, action packed and had some cool features that were new to me for a video game. Definitely in my top 5. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 19:29
Punch out -- nm - Flavorize Feb 2, 19:12
Track&Field with the pencil and comb -- nm - budice Feb 2, 19:05
Lots of good ones, but for me my favorite was Missile Command. -- nm - pmb Feb 2, 18:50
Alternative Poll: What game would you rather light yourself on fire than play agin? -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 18:44 10
- Gravitar -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 21:02
- Space Invaders and Defender were just frustrating. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 2, 19:48
- Asteroids ☄️—terrible game, not even nostalgia saves the playability -- nm - Flavorize Feb 2, 19:11
- Dragon's Lair was not worth two quarters. -- nm - Dano Feb 2, 18:48 1
  - That game was annoying. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 19:51
- Baby Pac-Man (Combo Pinball / Video Game) -- (link*) - budice Feb 2, 18:47 [youtube] 1
  - When I retire, probably going to be me—finding and repairing old arcade games—BIL is an electrician and I’m sure he’d be down -- nm - Flavorize Feb 2, 19:17
- Dragon's Lair was an immediate loss of money and spirit. -- nm - Max Feb 2, 18:46 1
  - Until you learned it. Then you were an Arcade God. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 22:25
- I tried Gauntlet a few years ago and it was fucking terrible. -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 18:45
Xevious -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 18:42 2
- Fighting games like Soul Edge (the first Soul Caliber game), Samurai Showdown, and even Tekken. I hated Street FIghter. - Mop Feb 2, 23:05 1
  - And the shooting games, of course. House of the Dead. I don’t think I can pass a Time Crisis game without putting a few quarters in. -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 23:06
Star Wars -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 18:40
Joust -- nm - prayformojo Feb 2, 18:40 1
- ohhhhhhh. yes. -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 2, 18:48
TRON first always. Then end the day rage-quitting Joust. -- nm - Max Feb 2, 18:40
Paperboy. Gauntlet if there's another player. -- nm - Tim Feb 2, 18:39
Arkanoid -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 18:39
Q*bert -- nm - Dano Feb 2, 18:38
Paperboy -- nm - spamlet Feb 2, 18:38
LOVE so many of those games - but if it's a sit down - Star Wars every day of the week. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 2, 18:37 1
- Yep—the sit down one was awesome -- nm - Flavorize Feb 2, 19:13
