What's everybody's all time favorite one. For me, I still dig in my pockets for spare quarters everytime I see Lost World (Jurassic Park). Although I had a blast on the 4 player Outrun 2 at DisneyQuest in Orlando, FL.

Haven't been to the arcades in a while, but I used to love the original Star Wars arcade where you had to destroy the Death Star. Other than that... Final Fight, Turtles, Simpsons, Double Dragon... basically anything where you got to hit stuff.

Final Fight, Turtles, Simpsons, Double Dragon... basically anything where you got to hit stuff.They had the original Star Wars at DisneyQuest too. That was the first and only time I've played it. I seriously recommend booking that place for a vacation to any hardcore gamer. They have floors just dedicated to an arcade games. And you can pretty much find any arcade game there. Seriously, they have classics ranging to the most recent ones (Like OutRun 2.
) They even had Dragon's Lair (which i wouldn't be surprised if no one's heard of it).Off the DisneyQuest subject, I have very good memories of playing The Simpsons at Chuck E Cheese when I was a little one. I'll never forget dying, and then realizing I'm out of tokens, run to my parents for a dollar bill, then race to a token machine and then back to the game before the counter reached zero. I also did this with one other game in the store. It was a beat em up kind of game too like The Simpsons. It might of been Ninja Turtles, not sure. I just remember it was real futuristic with cool graphics (for the time).

I remember playing The Simpsons with a friend, we only had 50p so didn't expect to get far, but for some reason every time we died the credits didn't go down. We managed to complete the whole game for a measly 50p. Which rocked.

Hell yeah. Except I was always Bart, armed with skateboard and mischievous ways.

Lol well I used to play that hardcore when I went bowling (I hate bowling btw), and when nobody was looking, I snuck off and played that. Don't remember much from the actual game, but I remember the room I played it in was cold as hell, so I covered my hands with a towel to warm my hands, lol.
