Most memorable (WOW!) Arcade video games

Well Fed Games:

I remember being overwhelmed by Metal Slug the first time I played it in an arcade. My only frame of reference was Contra on the NES, and MS was so detailed I got super distracted... and shot. A lot.

Space Invaders.

The cruise ship I was on had two near each bar.  I would be about 10.  The young beautiful women sitting at the bar would give me 50p pieces to let me play on it.

That was a WOW! moment for me.  Being 10 and scoring 50p a time.  Today it would be probably be illegal.

emphatic:

When I grew up, I only got to see conversion cabinets (except for the Gauntlet dedicated at the local bowling alley), so for me graphics was far more important than gimmicky controls and fancy artwork. The first time I saw Rastan I was blown away. It was like something from a dream. And that music - OMG. It doesn't look very hot now though and the gameplay is... well.  :banghead:

Seems silly now but I remember the first time I played it thinking I was driving a real car.

Yeah the force feedback and the graphics at the time when it came back was amazing to me.
