What ones did you like to play? Did you have an arcade nearby?
I loved Golden Axe games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pole Position, Virtua Cop, Final Fight, Street Fighter, NBA Jam, WWF Wrestlefest with Andre and Ted and version with Rumble, Double Dragon, Sunset-Riders, Super Off Road, Rampage and Bad Dudes...
Probably tons more I can't think of now.
I had a place here that had a large arcade for awhile, then some at laundry mats that I went with mom to, some at my high school, big one at a mall in Roanoke, various places we traveled to had good arcades- one in a pottery mall in South Carolina one time, the bowling alley has some still, and the West Virginia state fair used to set up a place under a tent with tons of them..

Basically Pac Man or Pinball in the latter counts. Never got to do much arcade stuff.

The same as the most popular ones at the time... Space Invaders, Dig Dug, Asteroids, Galaxian, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, etc. I also really enjoyed a more obscure one called Venture.
Then Dragon's Lair came out, and that changed my life. Space Ace, also.
In the mid-late 80s, I liked Gauntlet, Quartet, Rampage and Xenophobe.

I liked Simpsons Arcade, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ms. Pac Man, Pac Man and the Marvel vs. Capcom games. That's only a sample. I've played Punch Out the Arcade game and for a long time I didn't see it anywhere.
I've gone to a couple different Arcade places near me and got to play some games I may not have gotten a chance to beforehand. I've played classics like Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and more.

I have MAME cabinet in my garage. There’s a couple barcades and a regular family friendly arcade in my area. Donkey Kong is my all time favorite. When not playing that I enjoy Tapper, Ms Pac-Man, Wrestlefest, Superstars, Mat Mania and Mania Challenge, and your beat em ups like TMNT, Turtles in Time, and X-Men.

i’ve always wanted to play Badlands by Konami, which is for the laserdisc movie games and only had one playable button. never could get a ROM of it working and a real deal classic cabinet of it would be amazing.
