What's your favorite arcade game?

[blksnake]

I love the old school arcade games. I spent much of my youth spending my allowance at the arcade.

A friend of mine built a cabinet to play his emulated games (Gotta love MAME!). It’s complete with cigarette burns and an authentic marquee.

What's your favorite?

My favorite game started with a female voice saying "Prepare to qualify..."

Pole Position?

[roneski]

Pole position was sweet. I was the reigning Galaga of my local Alpha-Beta (old grocery store) for the longest time. Star Wars with the vector graphics is pretty high up there too. But I'd have to say that the vast majority of my quarters went to.... wait for it... Street Fighter 2.

Werd! I'd love to have one of those in my house.

"R-2 try and increase the power!"

Anyone remember the game Slaughterhouse (I think that's what it was called)? The one where you are the dude in the hockey mask and you walk around splattering zombies with 2x4s and machetes and chainsaws? That game blew me away in 7th grade.
