Holy crap.... I had that game too, I loved that thing!  What was it called?  That ranked right up there with my Mattel electronic handheld Classic Football game.

The oldest game I remember was the Odyssey - I remember having the plastic overlays you put on the tv, then play the game. Ah, the good old days!

For me, like so many others in my mid-20s demographic, it was Street Fighter 2.  I had goofed around in arcades before but never really was blown away until SF2 hit the scene.  It had 6 buttons!  That was twice as many as any of the other games I'd ever seen.  It was so complex too, there were special moves that required real skill to pull off.  How many of you guys remember how tough it was to learn the dragon punch?  Forward, Down, Down-Forward - it doesn't even make sense!  Once you mastered it though, you were unstoppable.  I spent my lunch money every day at the local convenience store, battling it out with all the other latch-key kids. 

Once the SF2 craze wore off (got watered down with all the different versions?) there was Mortal Kombat.  The graphics were unlike anything before.  It looked so real!  And the first time I saw Sub-Zero rip out a spinal column I knew this game was something special. 

For me, MAME takes me back to those good ole' simple days.  I think that's how it works for everybody, whether you cut your teeth on Street Fighter or Pac-Man.

she is not my most favorite game, close but not the #1. Galaga has that rank for me.
My wife only liked ms pac. I have her playing galaga and klax.
I am building a Ms Pac for here.
1) seems most wanted game on ebay.
2) I found a original case ( drove like 10 hrs to get it but it was a mini vacation for my wife and I)
3) I promised my wife I would build her a Ms pac if I really built arcade cabs.
since I am putting 7 of them together I am living up to my word and trying to make this one the best I can do.

Mr. Bubblehead:
Ms. Pac Man and Galaga are the first games that come to mind whenever I think of the old classic arcades.  Also, they are the only two classic games that can still be found in arcades, bars, laundromats, etc.
