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.

Wore that game out at Winks on Virginia Dale Trail!

Lot's of them, but favorite was probably Robotron.
There was a year or 2 around 1988 (give or take) where Arnold's had a room with 6 or 7 video games, including Robotron. Somehow, they had a slightly slowed down version though. I remember going there when I had 30 minutes or so free before needing to be somewhere else, dropping in an quarter and playing for like 40 minutes before just suiciding the 12 or so extra lives I had earned just because I had to leave.

Time Out at Tanglewood had a game called Sub Hunter or something like it.
Got the high score. The one and only time I ever did that. Made sure to get the attendant so he could note my name and post it on the game.

It had broken on the second stroke.

That's like driving by a graveyard and asking someone, "How many dead?"
Answer: All of them

Galaga or Zaxxon
Although I probably spent the most money on Pac-Man because the local 7-11 where I picked up my newspapers every morning had a machine

Worked at a mall one summer and pretty much spent $5 every day playing games. I really hated it when the Zaxxon sit in version that moved all around like a simulator hit the mall...boomed to a $1 to play. That was too rich, but I still played it occasionally.
