If that's the game, maybe it'll give you a bit of nostalgia...

Boy does it ever - thanks for the link!  It's a little different, of course, being a PC replica, but that was exactly the general idea.  Very cool.

Moon Patrol.  It may or may not have been the first game I ever played, but it's the one that made the first impression on me -- my earliest gaming memory.  Some friends of the family owned an arcade and we got to go there and play games when it was otherwise closed at least once.  This would have been when I was six or younger based on where I lived at the time.  All I know is that I thought Moon Patrol was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, and I've been obsessed with videogames pretty much ever since.  Also, I seem to remember that the games ran on dimes, not quarters.  This would have been somewhere between 1982 (the year Moon Patrol was released) and 1984 (the year I moved to another state).

Donkey_Kong:
I think it was carnival at a place called junkworld when I was about 4 or some ridiculous young age like that. I was so young and the memory is so faint, it seems like playing the game could have been a dream maybe. I only visited the place like once or twice before it's demise. A couple things I remember is that it lived up to it's name "junkworld", other than the sweet video games like space invaders, carnival, sprint. It also had some old old penny arcades and that type of thing. It was in an ancient big old warehouse storage like building. I'm pretty sure the guy sold junk to...then it was just up and gone. :(
:dunno

Wow, I want to say it was 'Moon Patrol' at a Fish 'N' Chip shop at Ohope Beach, in New Zealand back in the mid 80s

Thenasty:
somewhere in the back on my brain, its telling me that I have played NIGHT DRIVER back in 1977-1978. But the one I really remember (I guess this is when I brain started to remembering important stuff) playing Space Invaders, Asteroids.
