What he said.  :)

My bus stop was at an ice cream joint called Tastee Treat. In the back they had a few games that I'd play before the bus got there. Sometimes I'd miss the buss and have to haul ass across town to the last bus stop. Here's what I remember them having.

Super Mario Bros.
Empire City
Western Express
Mat Mania
Altered Beast

But there's no telling what game took my most money.

Joes Pizza had a few games I'd hang out and play. But then you have the classics such as Pacman and Centipede that have always erased quarters from my pockets.


EDIT:

hehe... didn't read the whole thread so I didn't see my previous posts. Didn't realize I was responding to a thread I responded to 2 years ago....

Without a doubt, the Mortal Kombat series.

Probably Mad Dog Mcree, it was the one game I really focused on for any length of time, which wasn't very long, but at $1 a pop, it goes quick.

mountain:
Galaga
Asteroids
Missile Command
Phoenix
Pacman

Galaga wins for the most quarters taken because I play it every time I see one and have been addicted to it forever. Asteroids probably sucked up the most quarters in the shortest amount of time though. I bet I dumped 3-5 bucks every time I played it. Since my MAME machine has been built, I bet I have played Asteroids 300 times. Still can’t get past 55,000… :angry:
