That's a whole lot of awesome!You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
Ha Ha! There was a Pizza place relatively near my high school where a buddy and me used to go afterwords and play the KISS pinball machine. I've not encountered anyone who remembers it as fondly as I. My favorites were Tempest, Gorf, Star Trek and Star Wars. Also, before Pac-Man, I loved the football game with the track ball and your "players" were X's and O's.Yeah...it's pretty cool...I always wanted one...I'd also would love to own a KISS or Playboy pinball machine...It's all good!Comment

Galaga is a very close second, but I spent many a quarter on the original Donkey Kong. Definitely has to be my number one.Comment

Hector, I would take Galaga over Donkey Kong Jr. anyday, but I came across it and the price was right. It's up on my list too just not as high as say Ms. Pacman, Galaga, or even the original Donkey Kong.
One question, don't you worry about rain or other conditions affecting your machine? Probably have nicer weather in general in Oakland.Comment

Unfortunately other than the standard Ms.Pac-Man/Galaga combo, I don't see many of these around in the few remaining arcades. I was pretty psyched to find remaining mall arcade a few years back that had a Donkey Kong/DK Jr/Mario Bros combo machine. Edit: This machine (as well as a Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga) is actually located in the Menlo Park Mall mentioned on Page 3 in Hulk's response. It's a small world as they say!Last edited by VintageMike; May 23, '10, 10:25 PM.Comment

It rains (but it's a deck with a roof and siding)...but almost never with strong winds...and there's no humidity here.
The temperatures year round are pretty constant in the Bay Area...not too hot, not to cold.
Plus I have a custom vinyl cover...mainly for the neighborhood cats that keep showing up uninvited.
So no...we don't get tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, hail, snow, etc...but we do have one mean thing once in a blue moon...earthquakes...

Hector and Evil KMego clearly have excellent taste in their video and pinball games
For actual arcade games my favorites were Centipede, Millipede, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Mrs. Pac Man, Tron, Star Wars, Frogger, and Space Invaders. I also recall playing the arcade version of the Journey video game alot at the local 7-11! (Hey I was a big Journey fan).
Also, I was particularly a fan of the sit-down cocktail table versions of games like Centipede and Space Invaders. If I ever bought these for my home, chances are those would be the versions I'd go for.
For the 2600 home system, my faves were Yar's Revenge, Adventure, Kaboom!, Pitfall, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Demon Attack, and Haunted House (yeah, I know....it was fun when I was 9!)
Someday I'll own the KISS pinball machine, I want that soooo bad!Comment
