I see you only went with 1 fluffy game (ms pac), I figured that defender and robotron had more than enough testosterone to balance my 3 fluffies ;)

Not in order, but some of my favorite classics:

Berzerk
Nibbler
Mr Do! (though I didn't like it much back in the day)
Dig Dug (not as much into it anymore but played alot as a kid)
Moon Patrol (coolest video game music)

And one of my favorite games from back then was never in the arcades but it was inspired by one - Jumpman (commodore)

And Q-bert. I forgot about that, fine game. Very satisfying to give that snake the screwgy.

Remember I was only like 7-8 yrs old. It was hard to get on the Robotron machine, or even DK sometimes. Da big boys were on those hit titles. I friggin' loved Super Pacman. 4 times as big as regular pacman...eating all fruit and pies and the "Super Energizers" that made you invincible and 4 times as fast. There was one button for speedup, it sat left or right of the joystick for users option.

If that's not enough...   :blah:

Every day was a high score competition at my local arcade. If you got a high score you would tape your initials to the machine...the high score standing at closing meant 4 quarters the next day for every machine! I dominated the Super Pacman Machine (maybe I was the only one playing?).   
:lol

Fast forward 25 years...MAME. I often thought of Super pac over those 25 years (as well as many other titles), and thought I would never get to play them again, until I came across mame. Super Pacman is still a friggin blast at 36 years old. My kids love it as well. Back in 2006 when we were homeschooling our boys, Super Pacman comps were sometimes held for History class, thanks to mame's preservation.
