Top Five Games that you dumped the most money into growing up?

(1/6) > >>

LLUncoolJ:
1. Spy Hunter
2. Galaga
3. Commando
4. Tron
5. Operation Wolf

Honorable mentions:  Narc, Time Pilot, Heavy Barrel, Karate Champ, Kung Fu Master, Donkey Kong (Sr & Jr), Pole Position, Cabal, Ivan Stewart Off Road

Guess it really depends on what you had access to. Since I was a kid on a bike, I could only cover about a 5 mile radius.

Ginsu Victim:
1. Rastan
2. TMNT
3. Donkey Kong
4. Donkey Kong Jr
5. Popeye

shmokes:
Super Mario Bros.
Street Fighter 2

Those are the only two that I really dumped a substantial amount of money into.  I played lots of others, but I was always way too poor to play arcade games enough to characterize my spending as dumping money into.   More like a quarter here a quarter there.

I suck at SF2. I bought one about a year ago to convert to a multicade. Turns out the monitor didn't want anything to do with the multi-board. So I tried to play that thing for 9 months and then sold it...sucking at it all the while.

shmokes:
I was unbeatable on the original SF2.  Never got into the variations.  I could beat it on a single quarter (never did it without losing a round, though).  An older kid once threatened to kick ---my bottom--- if I didn't give him a quarter after he joined in while I was playing a game and I beat him in two perfect rounds that lasted about ten seconds each.  I told him I wasn't going to give him a quarter, but he didn't kick ---my bottom---.  He just mumbled ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- at me and left.  I ended up losing the quarter I was playing with, though.  Bastard.  :D
