Arcade games, especially post-JAMMA/90s games SUCK with free credits. Those games ate quarters back in the day, and it's part of the whole experience. Even back then TMNT and all those beat em ups would have no value without the insane challenge. I still find value in playing a game like Double Dragon for example when I moderate how many credits I have and try to get as far as I can. A beat em up with no tokens is like poker with no chips. Not sure how anyone can enjoy any game made after '85 without some token dropping and a game over screen lol. It's even more awkward when these classics get a re-release on consoles with unlimited lives. BOOOOORING.

And as for the graph, I didn't grow up in the 80s so I can't comment on how much I use to like any of those titles, but I gotta say can't believe you once hated Juno First. That's one great game that's really stood the test of time! An all time favorite over here. Same with Tapper! And I agree with Crystal Castles. Compared to other golden age games, CC sucks ass. But you lost me with Frogger and Donkey Kong. And Ghost & Goblins nearly dead center? Blasphemy. Ghost & Goblins is damn timeless my dude lol!

Lol now hold up. Is Centipede all that bad or are you bad at Centipede lol. Jus jokin. I like Centipede almost as much as GnG (...almost). I love retro shmups like that centiped, galaga, or juno first. Millipede on the other hand is a piece of garbage.
