Here are mine (in no order)

01. Peter Packrat
02. Marble Madness
03. Temple of Doom
04. Gauntlet
05. Out Run (Hydraulic Sit-Down)
06. Juno First
07. Hyper Olymipc
08. Discs of Tron (Environmental)
09. Rolling Thunder
10. Kung-Fu Master
11. Super Sprint
12. Pac-Man
13. Space Invaders Pt. II
14. Mr. Do!
15. Frogger
16. Yie-Ar Kung-Fu
17. Wardner (Pyros)

01. Super Punch-Out!!
02. Punch-Out!!
03. Street Fighter II
04. Mortal Kombat
05. Karate Champ
06. Super Dodge Ball
07. Ikari Warriors
08. Double Dragon
09. Cruis'n USA
10. Cruis'n World
11. Vs. Excitebike
12. Legendary Wings
13. Spy Hunter

Those are all that I can think of that I played on the real machines in the 80's and 90's and actually took an interest in. Some others that I never got a chance to really play other than console ports and in more recent years; MAME; would be:

14. Missile Command
15. Defender
16. Asteroids
17. Joust
18. Robotron
19. Smash TV
20. Star Trek or Star Wars (hard to decide)

Of those I listed, I currently own a Super Punch-Out!! machine along with a Punch-Out!! boardset that can easily be swapped in, and Ikari Warriors. I also have a Victory Road in its original Dynamo cut-corner cabinet that I will probably convert to an SFII or Double Dragon (probably try to find a Double Dragon II kit for it, since those are made for Dynamo cut-corner cabinets, but mostly run an original Double Dragon boardset in it).

You sold your Punch-Out!! didn't you? And an *NOS* SPO kit! (I would have liked to have had that)

Also, I thought I was the only Super Dodge Ball fan around here. I used to be able to "marathon" that game in the arcade. The NES version was a lot of fun too, though the amount of blinking sprites was ridiculous.

I had no choice in the matter. I was broke and had to move cross country.

20, huh? Hmm. . .

I owned all of these at some point (now you know how I got the collecting bug out of my system

), except for the ***

No particular order, after the top 5:

1. Battlezone
2. Spy Hunter
3. Stargate
4. Tempest
5. Warlords (cocktail)

Dig Dug
Zoo Keeper
Joust
Robotron
Berzerk
Missile Command
Cosmic Avenger

Star Trek ***
Space Dungeon ***
Star Wars (cockpit) ***
Major Havoc ***
Defender *** - funny note on this one. That was the first game I wanted in order to start my collection. My wife looked high and low for my birthday but couldn't find one locally, was scared of eBay scams and was wise enough not to pay $1,000 at an online "store" for a known good one. I ended getting a limo ride for my birthday and never did get a Defender machine!

No Gorf???

Glaine · « **Reply #19 on:** September 20, 2006, 02:40:08 pm »

Guess I never got attached to that one. For one I don't like how if you fire while a shot is in transit it resets the shot to the current one. And the sprites for things like the invaders type section didn't really do it for me.

nostrebor · « **Reply #20 on:** September 20, 2006, 02:54:02 pm »

Gorf rocks! But you guys limited me to 20

I guess Gorf was for those of us that like buffets? Another couple I didn't see that I liked was Vanguard and Xeviuos.
