Mine has to be this one:

IMO the greatest arcade machine ever created. Yes, we had later versions, but none had the impact of the first one.

I spent hours stood in dark, noisey arcades playing that one.

Mortal Kombat in a movie theater lobby. Summer break days full of a vicious and expensive cycle of a few matches, soda and candy, movie, repeat.

I also recall being addicted to Turtles in Time and the Simpsons one at a local skating rink.

Because at the end of the day, basically, everyone is just playing with dolls.

Donkey Kong .  I played the shit out of that listening to "Ring my Bell", "Celebrate" and Rick James music at the local Disco club drunk on my ass.  LOL

Galaga for me. That's the game that turned me on to 'shoot-em-ups.'

For me, Street Fighter 3 Third strike slightly edges out the first Killer Instinct.  I spent tons of time playing that street fighter and started to get kinda good and then stopped for a couple years.  Once I went back I was nowhere near as good as I used to and then the arcade that I went to went under.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I porn surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of 'hot xxx galore'. While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", I muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, "404."

Cut out of High School early more than a few times to go to the local convenience store to play this one...

It was just awesome in it's day.

For me it would be Tekken. That was the first game I played on arcades. Until now I still play Tekken 6.

Love is benevolent evil. It is the sweet plague that devours reason, leaving euphoria in its place.

  I miss Killer Instinct. I wish they'd make another one. :\

 

   But mine had to be Golden Axe. Game consumed my quarters like coke off a hooker's ass.

Definitely Street Fighter! Then X-men vs. street fighter and marvel vs. capcom. I could say that street fighter is the pioneer in arcade fighting games.

Don't worry about what people think, they rarely do.

Defender was mine. So much lunch money spent on that game.

Don't mock me my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence.

Time Crisis, a game that actually took advantage of the fact that it is an arcade game and offers something you can't get on PC or Console.

Here I was complainin' about loss of pride and how life had treated me, and now I realized... I never had any pride

OMG, that game drove me nuts.  That was the most frustrating game with the exception of this madness:

ROBOTRON

My wrist was so sore (from the game, you perverts)
