Favorite Arcade Game Growing up

Since we are taking it back to the 80's I want to know what your fav arcade game was. We used to have a local deli that had Galaga. I don't know how many quarters and hours of my life were wasted down there. I can tell you that this was one of my fav arcade games growing up.

Nice I have a bunch of emulators on one of my xboxs. I also have mame and about 7 gigs of arcade roms on my laptop. I hook it up to the plasma and then hook up my x-arcade joystick. I have so much fun playing the old games.

Atari 2600 - Tank-type game. Don't remember the name, but each person had a tank, and you had to bounce your shots around obstacles to hit them.

Atari 7800: Joust

Commodore 64: Racing Destruction Derby - you could build your race track and car, then race against an opponent

The atari 2600 was awesome. I used to like the ice hockey game. I can't believe I sold it in the early 90s for 5 dollars with like 40 games. Its crazy what they go for these days.

I think that was Combat. There were like 10 different games within it (one you are invisible).

I loved Pitfall (till the neighbor kid broke in our house and stole it.)

And Adventure (with the dragons and the castles)
I loved the Decathlon one too, except my hands would hurt so much after playing that.

Haahahah thinking of NES. Who else used to cheat in track and field and use your hands. I used to hit on the pad like crazy.

Don,
I have a vivid memory of playing Popeye as well (actually, I think my brother played more of it than I did).
