      1. Galaga...without question, my all time favorite of all times. I love that game so much, I even bought the full size all original arcade one. Too bad I had to sell it, as it was way too bulky for the house, moved it to my backyard roofed deck, but still sold it to make room for my new gym...check out the little videos, it worked perfectly...great condition...I still miss not having it anymore...



      2. Defender
      3. Centipede
      4. Donkey Kong
      5. Tempest/Tron (tie)

      Interestingly enough, was never a huge PacMan or Ms PacMan player.

            Ms. Pac-Man
            Donkey Kong
            Centipide
            Galaga
            Jungle King/Hunt

            Honorable mentions: Joust, Popeye, Space invaders, Punch-Out

            It still burrns me that Nintendo has not released the arcade versions of DK/Punch out while pretty much everyone else has released emulations of their games at least once.

                        1. Superman (this is the one arcade game I'd love to have in my house!)
                        2. Excitebike (a local pizza joint had a table top version)
                        3. Operation: Wolf (in hindsight, pretty violent, but I liked it back then. The mounted machine gun drew me in)
                        4. Rolling Thunder (not the best game, but it was in the lobby at Wal-Mart, which meant I got many chances to play it)
                        5. X-Men (I can still hear Wolverine saying "BESERKER RAGE!")

                          Tough to name just 5, but the ones I played most in arcades included:

                          Scramble
                          Donkey Kong
                          Pac-Man
                          Galaxian
                          Lock n' Chase

                          Also:

                          Brerzerk
                          Tempest
                          Battlezone
                          Zaxxon
                          Targ




                          And here's one they should have made.

                            The beauty that surrounds them
                            Isn't it a pity".
