Good memories from my local arcade: Centipede, Galaga, Pacman and Mrs Pacman and especially the Captain Fantastic pinball machine - always had a long line of quarters on it for a kid who wanted to play next

It’s more fun when played with real cars and a real Mack truck

I was never great at arcade games, but that was always a favorite. I enjoyed Qbert too

Many years ago I gave my Dad 15 shares of Microsoft stock for his birthday. Choking up, he asked me why this big gift.
I told him “remember the many times I asked you for quarters at the arcade and you rarely said no? This is the amount I calculated I took from you “

When one of my cousins received an Atari console as a gift, he compiled a huge collection of game cartridges, so I played more games at his house than at an arcade. :)

"Worst arcade game:
Dragon’s Lair (50 cents to essentially watch yourself die...) " _____________
OMG! I am of the same opinion. Some asshat executive thought that animation was better than truly interactive computer graphics. It is like Hanna-Barbera and Bill Gates got together and had an ugly baby.

Started on Space Invaders and Missile Command.
Moved up to Galaga and Defender.
Graduated to Tempest, Robotron, and my favorite of all, Stargate. Inviso, smart bombs, what’s not to like. 2 quarters, of course, was usually good for an hour.
Pac Man? Never. No fire button.

I only had one arcade game that I was good at in the 80’s and that was Phoenix. I owned the high score on every arcade version in the San Fernando Valley for about 2 years I guess.

Never got to Daphne eh?
She’s a babe. And she’s not Heavily dressed either.

No. I was only 8 y/o when it was out.
I still liked hot chicks but wasn’t sure why yet...
