ms pacman is a pretty popular cocktail table, there's alot of them around, keep your eyes open and you'll find one within pickup range for under $500. i almost guarantee it...

My favorites of all time have to be

Paperboy
Spyhunter
Tapper
Operation Wolf
NARC
and probably Russian Attack

How about you guys, anybody old enough here to remember those classics? Hahahaa! And NO I am not talking about Xbox games, the old school stand up games

DH

I spent a fortune on those games haha

**rotowa85** · 06-04-2007, 01:48 AM

Armoured warriors

**fris** · 06-04-2007, 01:51 AM

spy hunter for sure

**Superterrorizer** · 06-04-2007, 01:53 AM

Wonderboy in Monsterland is my all time favorite. I still play it in MAME every once in a while. Super Dodgeball and Karate Champ would be 2nd and 3rd. However I played pretty much every game listed on my Commodore 64 before any arcade action took place.

**WetNLive** · 06-04-2007, 01:55 AM

Tempest was it for me. Spent tons of money on that game.

**BusterBunny** · 06-04-2007, 02:04 AM

**Anna_O** · 06-04-2007, 02:18 AM

Final Fight!

**MikeSmoke** · 06-04-2007, 02:26 AM

Donkey Kong and Q-bert by far...but Dragon's Lair was pretty fucking cool when it first came out

**Danny B** · 06-04-2007, 03:07 AM

In the old days:

Kung Fu.
Galaga
PacMan

later on:

Street fighter 2
Mortal Kombat (Finish him)
And all the stuff by SNK and Taito (http://neo-geo.com)

And I'm still a sucker for pinball machines

**Cypherpunk** · 06-04-2007, 03:08 AM

Blood Brothers
Merc
Space Harrier

**Jman** · 06-04-2007, 03:11 AM

Galaga and Punch Out

**KILL_FRENZY** · 06-04-2007, 04:08 AM

Spy hunter

**yys** · 06-04-2007, 05:01 AM

Man, no one mentioned the best racing game of all time.
Super Sprint

**Lee** · 06-04-2007, 05:08 AM

To me the ultimate coin-op game was Donkey Kong. I also loved Galaxians which was better than Space Invaders. The there was Gorf and Pole Position. There was also another game which involved driving with a black background and the track was just vertical lines which were like small posts, may have been called Night Driver or something similar, now that was old school.

The Spyhunters, Paperboys and the like were newer and by then I was more into my Commodore 64.
