I also loved playing NARC.  Had to really hunt around to find an arcade that had that game.

I second Roadblasters.

Had it at the local grocery store.
Every week I got a 1$ allowance(WHOO! BIG MONEY!).
Every week we went to buy groceries.
Every week I dumped a dollar into Roadblasters.
Untill one dark day they replaced their arcade machines with COKE MACHINES!

Believe it or not, my first addiction was to Kick-Man.
I'd steal pennies from my mom's penny jar--25 pennies at a time.

My first Favorite was Tempest.

First favorite?   Probably Donkey Kong when it first came out.

I played Space Invaders when it was first out, and that that point I guess it was my "favorite" of all available games, but jeeze, what were my options?

I remember seeing Galaxian at Castle Golf and Games when it first came out and I was blown away by the looks of it.  I mean, dude, there were COLORS on that screen... and not the kind that come from translucent 'tape' on the glass!    But the gameplay bored me after a while, just like Space Invaders did.

But when Donkey Kong came out, I was hooked!  But man, 1981 was a good year for arcade games.  There were a bunch of good ones that came out that year.
