Ah the memories these bring back. I remember dumping a lot of quarters on Punisher, awesome hack and slash. Also used to play a bunch of these top down and sideway airplane scrollers. Anyone remember other games of this genre?

 

[mmntech]

Classic fighters and racers like Mortal Combat and Sega Rally. I grew up on these. Every pizza shop, movie theatre, and small arcade had these games.

 

[Gibsons]

Asteroids.

Missile command was a lot of fun too.

Galaga is still fairly popular, but was never my fave.

tmnt, simpsons, that xmen game on the machine that was wide as shit, SF2, the modern guantlet games.

TMNT, The Simpsons, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Pit Fighter, many more. I miss pumping quarters / tokens into the local arcades. They have since gone the way of the dinosaur thanks to advancements in home consoles.

Mortal Kombat, by far.
