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

<< < (2/6) > >>

Zero_Hour:
1. Astro Blaster
2. Scramble
3. Wizard of Wor
4. Star Hawk
5. Berzerk

Those were the ones I spent on when ubiquitous arcades were still a relatively new phenomenon. Honorable mention goes to the Dual Screen Cyberball that I played in college - probably spent a sizable percentage of what my tuition cost on that thing.

javeryh:
1.  Ms. Pac-Man
2.  Donkey Kong
3.  Galaga
4.  Street Fighter 2
5.  Tetris
6.  Killer Instinct (it was in the college study hall!)

wp34:
1. Asteroids
2. Stargate
3. Donkey Kong
4. Smash TV
5. Road Blasters

Living in a small town made getting to an arcade problematic.  Asteroids & Stargate were at the skating rink.  DK was at a local pizza parlor which was in walking distance.   I probably put more into Smash TV and Road Blasters than I care to know as they came out after I was old enough to drive myself to the arcade.

Damn, I forgot about Smash TV...it is at least worthy of an honorable mention. Stargate was basically a 25 cent kick in the nuts for me.

TOK:
1 Xevious
2 Moon Patrol
3 Congorilla (DK bootleg)
4 Robotron
5 Pleiads

When my best friend and I got really good at Xevious, we'd get 1/2 hour plus of play per turn. I started playing Moon Patrol and Pleiads because they were close to Xevious and hardly anyone played them. It gave me something to do while waiting for my buddy to get killed in Xevious. When one of us died in Xevious, we'd switch off to whatever the other guy was playing.

Ultimately, I ended up liking Moon Patrol more than Xevious, but it still has to be the game I've spent the most on.
