I spent too many quarters on Marble Madness.

I think I spent my college fund on Marble Madness...

What an aptly named game.

I will have to agree with the consensus that Pinball and skeeball rock! Back when I was young enough to want my birthday parties at Chuck E Cheeses I always played skeeball cause I knew that was going to give me the most tickets. For what did I want to use my tickets for...I have no idea...I think I just gave them to my brothers or whoever. just thought the game was fun and didn't care about the tickets.

OMG! That's mine! I read the thread title and said "Burgertime of course!" No one ever says Burgertime! You rock! I always played it in arcades (I think Starcade had it for a while.) - good times, good times.

Q*Bert is a close second.

Tempest was the only game I could survive long enough to be worth my quarters. But back in the good ol' days of the Starcade, the air hocky was the best.

Scrambler, Defender, StarCastle, Astro Fighter, Monaco GP, Lunar Lander, Joust, and Missle Command.

October 1981, Chicago, Conrad Hilton, National Video Game and Vending Machine Convention..............

Pole Position and Turbo (I think that was the name..). I am also a fan of pinball games.

Strangler Lewis · 04-11-2007, 10:15 PM

Pinball, Skee-ball and Air Hockey to be sure. In the '60s, I shot a fair amount of metal duck targets at carnivals. I also usually can't resist squeezing that handle that tests my sex appeal.

Asteroids, of course, when there wasn't some guy hogging the machine by ignoring the last little rock and repeatedly ambushing the little flying saucer.

Apparently my hand-eye coordination sucks. I was never very good at arcade games. Now, text-based adventures on the other hand...

I loved Asteroids and Centipede.

But my heart always belonged to pinball.

And of course Wack-A-Mole (or however it is spelled) and Whacky Gator. Up until recently, when it just wasn't working any more, I always played a round or two of the Whacky Gator in the Starcade.
