Blast from the Past...your favorite Arcade Games?

What about Asteroids? I bet I pumped enough quarters into that machine to pay it off for the outfit that owned it!!!

Wow some of my favorites,only one I would add would be slither.One of the first arcade games to use a track ball oh and donkey kong ohh and pole position.My favs were temptest,cenipede,galaga 1&2,tron and death star for coin ops.For consol I just have too many to list,besides I still play them.My intellivision,and colecovision and all games are still in working order,(not that i'm a fanatic or anything)with the 8 bit nintendo,8 bit sega,16 bit sega,sega 32x,sega cd,(not that i'm a fanatic)sega saturn,and dreamcast.All hooked up into a switching system a friend made so at the push of a button you go to whatever platform you like.

Trust is indeed a shiny jewel,set in the stone of friendship.And much like any other stone can be use to crush the skulls of those unsuspecting.To clear the path for me to claim my rightfull place as master of all I survey.

Wasted a lot of quarters playing the Popeye arcade game. Later on, I liked a game called Crossbow. You had to shoot all the dangerous creatures menacing your friends as they walked across the screen.

Has anyone heard of M.A.M.E? It is the best arcade emulation machine for the PC that I've played. I'm not sure where you can find it now, but I have all kinds of arcade games downloaded on my computer.

Originally posted by Grand-Ranger: I dont think this was an arcade game,it was on Artire (I am not sure how you spell it but its pournouced 'A-tar-e', you all know what I am talking about) I have forgoten its name But I rember my brother playing a game on there where the was this block in the middle of the screen and two 'tanks' would go around it shooting each other, my brother and his friends would play that for HOURS and HOURS. Hehe..they never let me play...

Hey! I've got that one at home!!! I can't remember if it's Tank Command or what the name is (I can look it up when I get home and post back then). I've also got Air/Sea Combat. Boats v. Boats, Planes v. Planes or Boats v. Planes. It was a neat game, but the graphics back then! Oy!

P.S. My personal faves were Yar's Revenge, Q-Bert, Centipede, Galaga and Gyruss.
