    I sure miss the old arcades during the 80s and early 90s. Their shutdown was apparently a side effect of the home gaming consoles.

    Mine:

    Rygar

    Bubble Bobble

    Street Fighter 2 - Turbo Edition

    Puzzle Bobble

    For me, hands down, it's Gauntlet. Every year my grandparents would give us a 50 dollar bill at Xmas. My brothers and I would go to the arcade and spend most of that 50 bucks on Gauntlet in one day. I preferred the Elf. My oldest bro used Thor. My other bro used the Wizard.

    I have had most fun with the mid 90s Sega Rally, especially with a twin cabinet playing versus.
