Has to be Pacman right? I still play the game now on my phone.
Not sure if I can enter but what the hell if I win someone else can just take it.
My favorite arcade game is Galaga, I love playing that game and enjoyed it on the 360(Legions also even if I havent really played it)
I probably wasted around $100 in quarters on "Asteroids". So Asteroids it is. =)
Centipede w00t!
Donkey Kong for sure :)
Does table hockey count? that was at the arcades
Does air hockey count? that was at the arcades
Galaga
centipede maybe
Pacman that game will always be a classic.
TMNT, but if that isn't "classic" enough then i'd have to agree with pac-man :D
Too many to choose from! Pacman was my first but the original Star Wars arcade in all its vector graphics glory was my favorite.
I'm going to have to go with Pac-Man, its just a classic simple concept that has always been enjoyable.
We need a rematch from PAX
Galaga, definately. I love that game! still play it on my phone as well!
I'm going with 1942.
I'm a master of the tables
has to be pacman can never go wrong with pacman.
Pacman
Hmm so many to choose, from. I remember really enjoying the "Willow" arcade game though, but if you're talking about group play, nothing beats 6 player X-Men, unless you were the one stuck playing Dazzler.
Pacman of course
Strider still remains to be one of my favorite arcade games. A shame no console version ever captured its feel.
Dig Dug … hours and hours of Dig Dug!!
Mine would have to be Galaga. I can still remember playing it every time my parents took us to Showbiz (now Chuck E Cheese) Pizza. I'm so glad they have both the original and a remake on Live.
Asteroid for sure!
Galaga or Frogger
I love Galaga!! Oh, the good old days…
Pacman is the best by far…
Mine would have to be Galaga. Well I know its kinda weird, but me and my mom always play that game together. She would flip to have the copy of the arcade game.
I love centipede and millipede!
Donkey Kong
Mine would have to be pac-man for sure.
I've got to go as well with the 6 Player X-Men mayhem. No game has taken more of my quarters than that amazing beast of a game.
However, I don't really consider that a "classic" arcade game, so my real answer is Dig-Dug. Nothing beats that music and the never ending hunt for more fruits and vegetables. The first great game to promote good health. Suck it Wii Fit.
My favourite is snake. That game is fun to play and you can get it on your cell phone so you can take it anywhere.
Even though it's frustrating as hell, Donkey Kong's my favorite classic.
Kung Fu is my favorite!
Ms. PacMan. She's teh Hawt!
Probably Frogger.
Galaga. I have the mini-arcade game and I still play it from time to time.
I was a fan of Nintendo's Kid Icarus way back when, but I am not sure if that was ever considered an 'arcade' game. If not, it's a toss up between PaperBoy and Tapper (which used to be sponsored by Budweiser, not A&W, which show how old I am!) =) Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
My favorite Namco game is Pac Man, a true classic. I hope I win too b/c I cant find Namco Aracde at gamestop anymore.
my favorite classic is probable Pac Man
It's gotta be Pacman, the game was addicting to me and it defined "Arcade" for me for a very long time.
I have to go with Space Invaders :D
Pac-Man 4 life.
I would have to go with pac man!
My favorite is Frogger, I love that game, ribbit!…..LOL.
Hope I win
