I used to love the boardwalk in NJ/Wildwood, so I remember neon short shorts and an airbrushed T with some type of Italian slogan.  Sandy floors in those arcades, I imagine the mechanics of the machines must have taken quite a beating.

Good times... :cheers:

Funny.  When I first floated the idea of building a Mame cabinet to my wife, her one question was: Will it play Centipede?

Me: yes.

Her: Cool.

The main reason I got a trackball was so my wife could play Centipede.

I would also add...

the smell. Must have been from those carpets. Oh wait, you said best... I meant most memorable. Hey, do any of you with a game room try to reproduce that authentic arcade aroma?

Vigo:
I really, really try my hardest to enjoy centipede...I just can't find that much appeal. I guess part of it is I haven't figured out a strategy. Am I suppose to destroy those mushroom things, or try to leave them, or am I suppose to have a strategic layout for them?

yotsuya:
You can build a channel using the mushrooms to try and center the centipede. You can also leave just enough mushroom to trigger the flea dive bomber for more points.

When I was a kid, I was bad at Centipede, but as an adult playing on my own cab, it's been fun practicing. I bet this is mainly because money is not a limiting factor. It's been a lot of fun.

Donkbaca:
Or you can just play snacks n' jaxson, and leave cenitpede alone...
