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

Hehe, I have a funny 'poor' arcade story. During summer, me and my best friend would ride the bus to the mall to hang out at the arcade. The bus ride set us both back a dollar round trip, which sucked. Once at the mall, we would rather spend our money in the arcade than on food and drinks. So we had a pattern of going to Long John Silver's ( fish place), and ordering a water and a tray of crumbs each. Cost = $0. Woot! For you rich folks, the crumbs at LJS are the batter flecks they strain off of the deep fryer grease. Occasionally we would get lucky and get a fry thrown in. Then we would go to Taco Bell and get another water and head down to the arcade for a bit. Not too long though, because we would venture back to Taco Bell to get a refill or two of our favorite pop. Woot again! One day my friend decided to try Arby's instead of Taco Bell, against my sage advice. He totally got busted when he went back for pop. I was looking thru the glass and laughing ---my bottom--- off at him while he got berated by the manager.
Then we went back to the arcade and spent whatever lawn mowing/chore money we had left. After the money was gone, we watched other people play, and checked coin slots.
Those were good times.

Once my grandma came to visit in Oklahoma and gave me $20 to go get my sister and me some candy. Like a crackhead, I stuck the whole thing into a Spy Hunter. I was gonna stop at $5, then $10.

You WERE a ---smurfing--- joneser, man!
--- Quote ---And one more fireside story. I once lived down the street from a Peter Pipers Pizza. Me and a friend would go up there. They would give us like 4 tokens a piece for an hours worth of folding pizza boxes...talk about cheap labor! 4 quick games of Karate Champ or Track and Field and it was all over.

That's actually not that bad, considering. About the same as when we folded ---smurfing--- newspapers, but a lot less work. Finally gave that deal up after a year and a half.
