I think I fell in Love with Ms Pacman. when I got older I wasted PLENTY Of money on RoadBlasters and Spy Hunter.
No doubt though...having my dad watch me play Ms. Pacman and constantly saying "man in trouble" and then being all excited for me when I'd get out of the trouble. It's one of those things where the praise I received from that game is probably why I still can't pass one up. I'm just waiting for someone to come up and go ..man..you're good!
man I'm a loser. :)

I was in a bowling league when I was a kid, too... My dad would give me a quarter when I was done bowling, and I'd always throw it into 1942.
To this day, that game is very near my all time fave, just because of the weeks and weeks of playing it at the bowling alley.
Eventually I was able to play for about 20 mins on the same quarter... Did that ever tick my dad off. :)
Other notables are APB, Star Wars, and Tron.
I also enjoyed fighters until they just got too crazy. The original SF2, and the first couple of MKs were great. Then it got to the point that you couldn't consider yourself remotely good at the new ones unless you memorized a million moves each consisting of an epilepsy-inducing series of button presses and joystick twirls. Anyway, you catch my drift... :)

Space Invaders was the first video game I can ever remember playing. The bass thump, the relentless neverending rows of invaders, the ever diminishing shields. It will always hold a special place in my heart. I own an original Space Invaders machine and still to this day get a big charge out of playing it.
