What was your favorite Arcade game? - Page 2

I'm a big fan of the Twilight Zone pinball.

The bear on the unicycle game is Crystal Castles - definitely one of my favorites.

More than video games, though - I love pinball...

I've got nearly 400 recreations on my computer, thanks to Visual Pinball and the wonderful wizards who've done so much work for such fun.

Addams Family was my favorite pinball of all time though Twilight Zone is way up there. The Sopranos actually has a good machine too.

Unfortunately it is really hard to find well maintained pinball machines.

The Simpsons pinball is pretty good (I wasted many quarters on it at the Grand Cal). I also like the Rocky & Bullwinkle one.

If you really like Crystal Castles - here's a nice one on eBay

I wasn't very good so I played centipede or space invaders but I loved to watch my brother play Galaga, Mario and something with a guy and a dragon. I remember it was cool new technology for back then. I usually stuck to pinball, foosball or air hockey.
In Portland they have a cool old fashioned arcade and upstairs was all pinball machines. I was in heaven, games I hadn't seen in years!

BUBBLE BOBBLE!

I loved that game so much. In fact, there was a convienience store down the street from where I used to live (which was kind of like a Mom and Pop General Store type building), and they had the Bubble Bobble arcade game there. I must have gone over to play it every day. I actually challenged a couple of high school kids to a Bubble Bobble duel back when I was nine years old, and well...let's just say that there were some pretty sad looking 16-year-olds walking out of the store that day.

Regulation pinball machines of the late 1960's early 70's before all the electronic gizmos. They still had some challenge and also allowed for a little nefarious jiggling.

Pacman was fun, as well.

It's been a long time since I've been a gamer in an arcade
