I don't know the year, but I still remember the first time I went to an arcade place. It was actually some house's garage, and there were three games: Frogger, Star Force and some fighting game (Combat Ninja or something like that) where you kept the punch button down and the character would accumulate energy, getting a light halo around him, with the first boss being some guy spitting fire. Of course, police would raid the place every other week, and we would have to wait until the old lady brought them back. Quote: Arcade games you played when you were a kid

The list isn't short so I'll just put down all of the arcade games I remember enjoying, kid or not: Old School Fight School I also played the Mortal Kombat games but that just never stuck with me much.

Omega Race! That was probably my favorite, and is still on my system for quick MAME sessions during those horrible lunch breaks we have to suffer through My other favorites were: Time Pilot --> |

There weren't many arcade games where I lived in the late 80's. They probably started to appear in the early 90's, but they were pretty expensive to play. Every local gas station had pinball machine(s), so I played pinballs. |

My church has that old X-Men arcade game. I like playing Storm, and not just because her buttons still work. I was never big on arcade, but I played a fair bit of Street Fighter II back in it's glory days. I was also an absolute pro at this one vertical shooter I still can't remember the name of. I once beat the whole bloody thing with not one death. Also remember an old Superman game that shifted playstyle between three different genres every level; I was never a Superman fan but that kind of impressed me at the time. Also threw quarters into a lot of no name shooters which I still recall fondly but could never name. My hometown had a really small arcade, so my exposure was kind of limited. -- |

I never played a pinball machine but I vaguely remember a Ms. Pacman machine with a pinball game attached that I played once. Anyone remember this or was I just dreaming? |

Well I didn't grow up near any arcade machines. But on visits to the seaside (where old people and old arcade machines go to slowly die) prior to the age of about 16 I played Star Wars (the Atari one), Defender, Arkanoid, Ridge Racer, Gauntlet, Outrun, APB, Hard Drivin', Chase HQ and SCI: Chase HQ 2.

Sadly, I never got the chance to see an arcade from the inside. I don't know if we even had that many arcades here in germany but I know for sure that in the small village were I grew up, we didn't have a single arcade anywhere. But the C64 and Amiga gaming scene was pretty big in the neighbourhood. sigh sweet childhood memories...:'( --- 0xDB | @dennisbusch_de --- |

I remember I actually helped carry the MK machine into the local, and they gave me 20 coins for that.
