What Arcade Era Do You Identify With The Most?

I love playing the classics: Galaga, Pengo, Donkey Kong and Ms. Pacman are my standbys but I also enjoy the quirkier titles of the day such as Marble Madness, Crystal Castles, and Crazy Climber. These are all solo games. My fondest memories come from the golden era, but I had a blast playing 2 player games such as SmashTV, Total Carnage, Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat 2. The learning curve was too drastic to try and keep up with all the revisions of both franchises.

We'd play fighting games until someone got mad. We would travel around to different arcades to challenge new players. As soon as SFII was on the super nintendo, we didn't visit an arcade again.

I/O:

Central Park Arcade video:

That first kid, classic Defender first-timer syndrome.

I was sort of wondering whether the Asian teen was going to whup some kung fu on the camera person.

What was that shoe shot of the Asian girl and her mom? Perhaps a 'yeah, this is what kind of shoes they used to wear' sort of archival moment??

And what were the game in the back they kept showing, and the game at the end?
