My favorites were...

1. Asteroids
2. Missile Command



But I think Pacman is probably the most popular arcade game ever.

1st Gen: Galaga. Like space invaders on crack.
2nd Gen: TMNT.

Give me an old school mechanical pinball machine 99 times out of 100 though. The silver ball is addicting.

I agree with you on the old skool pinball machines.
Fantastic!

Loves me some pinball.

Joust, Ms. Pacman, Asteroids, & Space Invaders got a lot of my quarters, though.

I blame Atari for my one and done experience at UConn in 1981-82. Spent way too many hours playing asteroids when I should have been studying.

If your spelling is any indication your time at UConn was doomed from the start by your need for remedial classes.

Pinball rules. A steel ball, bumpers, flippers and better yet ones that allow gambling with ability to build up odds.
My bucket list has return to Las Vegas with a bag of quarters and play some of the classics at the Pinball HOF.

Nah, you're just not very bright.

We played an old nickel machine, no flippers like this. On a good day could win 10 or 20 $.

And yikes Wolfman, I think they closed the HOF last year.

Another good one
