Mine are a bit obtuse. Battlezone, Crossbow and Sinistar were

the ones I fed all my quarters into. Battlezone was at the roller skating rink. Crossbow and Sinistar were at the biggest arcade in town. I went there with a friend of mine almost every Friday night back in 8th grade. Those were my games, and his were Punch Out and Dragon's Lair.
