What arcade game "Did it" (AKA: Started/Motivated you down the MAME/Refurb path)

Definitely Tempest, with Robotron a close second.

Early 80's arcades left a real impression, most of the games I play seem to be from that period.

Robotron (on level 10, 30,000 per free man of course). A game that separates the men from the children.  ;)

Defender.  Every night after dinner in college, my room mate and I played a couple of games.

Years later, when I got the chance to buy a real Defender, I had to have it.  Only the real thing has that classic "graphics processor overload" when you really get the screen loaded with bad guys!

While Galaga is one of my favorite all time games... the one game I wanted a cabinet for was Gauntlet. I never could have enough money to play that quarter sucking hog at the arcade. The gameplay isn't very strong now, but when it debuted - it had a powerful effect on me.

Now, my machine see's more action playing classics, fighters and party games like World Class Bowling.
