1.
(by far my fave arcade game)
2. San Francisco: Rush the Rock Alcatraz Edition (fave driving game)
3. Gyruss (love the music . . . still haven't reached Earth though)
4. BattleZone (love the game, hate those #$%^ missiles, though)
5. Robotron (the most insane fun for a
)
If I owned a house, and had a basement arcade, these 5 would have to be in it. Actually 6, I'd get 2 Rush the Rock and link them for multi-player goodness.
Honorable Mentions: Super GT (a.k.a. Scud Race; again I'd have 2 and link them), Rush the Rock 2049 (again 2 linked),
(Original with the sitdown cabinet), Ms. Pac-Man, and maybe Pac-Man.
