When I was really young, we'd visit my grandparents about twice a year (they lived 4 hours away) and it was our tradition to get a late night pizza from a place called "Don's Pizza". It was a tiny little hole in the wall with 3 chairs, but they also had a Pac-Man cocktail table. My dad would give me a couple of quarters and I'd play while waiting for the order. That was probably the only arcade I played until I was 11 or so.
In terms of when I actually started to go to legitimate arcades, there is only one machine that stood out and that was Killer Instinct. It was twice as loud as any other machine, it had great music and if you could remember combos/combo breakers, you could show off a bit. I wasn't great at it, but I was not as bad as I was at most games, and that meant a lot to me.

As a young kid, I would say it was Rampage, I loved playing that, I remember being pissed when I got the NES version because I could only pick between Lizzie and George.
Later on I would say it was TMNT, Simpsons, X-Men, all the games where multiple people could play at the same time, it made for some great times when I had Birthday Parties at the Arcade.

All time favorite is Galaga.
Honorable mention goes to The Return of the Jedi game. Used to go up to the Poconos with the family every year and this game was there way longer than it should have been.

When I was a kid and my town had a Chuck E. Cheese, I played the crap out of both Moon Patrol and Toobin', and they quickly became my favorites. Sadly, nowadays, there's no real arcades in my town, but a local Mexican place called Burritoville has a cocktail cab with Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga, which I play every time I go in. Only a quarter to play either one, too, just like old times.

Surprised (and glad) to see that, as I've seen a lot of posts online about people not liking that game. I guess they wanted Atari to do vector Star Wars game #3 on that one. I've always enjoyed it, and it usually makes it to a local expo that I usually attend here every year.
