Quarter pumpers

[Crystallas]

What was your favorite game to rush up to in the arcade, and start pumping quarters into a game. I mean video games, not ticket-games like skeeball, claws, and hoops.

Pole Position was a big one for me, and then later, I really loved the TMNT game(which is so much better on arcade than TMNT II on NES).

And King of Fighters 95.

I still play them on MAME, which is awesome BTW.

All of those games rule.

Was anyone ever big into metal slug?

But Fo'Real. Ms Pac-man was freakin' bomb.

Galaga is easily the arcade game that made me into the gamer that I am today. I hope to one day own one of these in my garage.... or bedroom.

Another great one was off-road.

TMNT was great, but was already posted.

Off Road was bomb. I actually came in this thread to post galaga.

Looking back its such a simple game, but man that game changed my life.

My mom worked in a pizza parlor and Galaga and the pinball machines there were basically my babysitter sometimes.

I thought about posting a pinball game here, but didn't know if it qualified. It was def a quarter pumper for me growing up, but so was air-hockey...neither really count as video-arcade games. haha.
