Remember the days of the arcade, or maybe you played them at a bowling alley, or even a 7-11? What ones do you remember dropping the most money on? Mine are:
- Golden Axe - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - X-Men - WWF Wrestlefest - Street Fighter 2 - Mortal Kombat - Outrun

Final Fight, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, Golden Axe, and The Simpsons!!! I absolutely love beat-em ups, can't you tell? But asides from those, there's Street Fighter II and III, Soul Calibur II, Time Crisis II, and DDR, among others.

First off, Patrick this sub-forum has got to be your idea! And a good idea at that. Anyhoo, I was a player in the 80s & have the Capcom, Midway, Namco & Atari collections. My faves:

Actually, the comic book one was my idea. LOL... I think the idea for a gaming section has been thrown around for as long as I've been around. Wu made it happen though.
- Xevious - Time Pilot - Amidar - Lady Bug - Pole Position - Ms. Pacman - Donkey Kong - Double Dragon (I remember a friend and I beat the game on our vacation in Italy ) - I agree with Bondo .. Dragon`s Lair was cool to watch - Zaxxon - Golden Axe totally blew me away - 194x - After Burner

Most of my money went into: Altered Beast Contra Kung Fu Raiden Street Fighter II Street Fighter II Champion Edition Afterburner Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out Run Terminator Final Fight Spy Hunter F-Zero
Back in the late 80's or maybe early 90's, there was a game at the arcades that I loved. It was a side scrolling action game. You were a gladiator and when you shook the joy stick up and down, it created a force field the length of your body. Anyone ever play that game?
Man, I miss the arcades. That would have been my dream job, to work at an arcade when I was younger.

I think you mean "Gladiator" from Taito Cool game! It is also on the Taito Legends 1 collection for the PS2.
1970s: Pong (actually played this a lot when it was new and the only thing around mid 70s other than pinball) Space Invaders Night Driver Space Wars Asteroids
1980s: Crazy Climber Xevious Pole Position Gyruss Golden Axe Tempest
1990s: Mortal Kombat 1&2 House of the Dead
In the 90s I kind of lost interest in arcades. Anytime I go into one now there's barely any video games mostly things like "skee ball" and "wack-a-mole" for winning tickets for crappy prizes.

^ Oh, I forgot Gyruss ... that was a great game. And also Robtotron 2084.
In the mid 90s I sometimes still played "Time Crisis" and "House of the Dead" in the arcades with my brother .. but at that time arcades were already very difficult to find.
