Here is every conversation with someone who sees it running the first time goes:

Me: "What would you like to play?"
Them: "Do you have <Fill In Game That Evokes Strongest Childhood Memories for Them>?"
Me: "Sure, here ya go."
Them: "WOW AWESOME.  HAVE YOU PLAYED THIS GAME?  THIS GAME IS THE BEST!  I REMEMBER WHEN..."
Me: "Be sure to put in a c.."
Them: "How do I get this to start"
Me: "Be sure to put in a coin and hit start"
Them: "Oh yea... Bleep Bloop"
Me: Exit scene right.

After that, they always usually play that one game for the first few times, then remember there were others.

So my answer, its always some game that someone wants to play that they have a fond memory of, whatever was in their local gas station or whatever.

Don't have a lot of guests come over, but so far it's been Ikari Warriors on MAME, then Dragon's Lair on Daphne and basically every NES game on my NES emulator.

Gorf, Track And Field, and Pacman are most requested.

I'm going to stick to MAME related games because the results are all over the place if I include systems like NES/SNES/Genesis/etc...

Me: (This changes every month or so)
U.N. Squadron
Metal Slug X
Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara

Friends:
Windjammers
Street Fighter II: Champion Edition
Joust

Windjammers is definitely at the top of the list for the time being. We're a bit obsessed.  ;D

Gorf



Doesn't seem like a game that appeals to the masses/non-enthusiast.

If you can read this, it means Photobucket's money grab ruined my signature photos.
