What were your favorites? I spent a lot of time in the arcade. Some of my tops were:

Gauntlet (was a table style console)
Marble Madness
Xenon
Gyruss
Area 51
Q-Bert (although I always sucked at it)
Frogger
Dig Dug
Joust
Xevious

I'm a big fan of Ms. Pac-Man and the original Donkey Kong.

Me and my brother were hardcore fighting game players for awhile. Tekken Tag, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat 2...

Occasionally I'd throw in a game of Golden Axe.

I sucked at all those Atari games.

Marble Madness
Zaxxon
Xenophobe
Tempest
Arkanoid
Time Killers (no one ever had this one but I would post up for a while when they did)
WWF Wrestling (1992ish)
The Simpsons Arcade Game
T2: The Arcade Game

But I probably spent more time playing Street Fighter 2 then all these other games combined. It was a ubiquitous cabinet north of Boston just as I hit my teens.

Strat’s in Panama so I’ll just tell you all that his favorite game was Dance Dance Revolution; it was during his otaku phase.

You know what? Xenon is an old PC game, I was thinking of Zaxxon when I made the post.

Yes. It wasn't easy using that wheel.
