What's the first quarter-drop video game you ever played?

**Ferien** · 2009-10-28 09:15

Had to be either The Simpsons or Turtles in Time. There was a place in Brooklyn I used to go all the time with my dad and brother that had an arcade and tiny amusement park in the back (anyone else here from BK remember it? it was attached to the Burger King on Utica and T)...Was so sad when they closed it.

Super Off Road, TMNT, The Simpsons and Hard Drivin' were some.

However, the ones I dumped the most into were NBA Jam/NBA Showtime and NFL Blitz

Pacman cocktail table at Pizza King in Newburgh, IN. I remember it like it was yesterday

. They also had Snow Bros there at a later time that I was in love with.

The first one was probably Pacman. Although I really enjoyed Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.

Donkey Kong cabinet, with Mario labeled as Jumpman on the decals, at the bowling alley where my parent's played on league night.

RAMPAGE!!!!!

**kuronosan** · 2009-11-01 01:12

Fuck yea, Rampage!

Also remember the Star Wars game, as well as this one game where you played on a holographic table... had a space cowboy or some shit. Don't remember.

**Eticket** · 2009-11-01 14:03

Hell, I forgot about Rampage

My grandfather would give me a milk crate to stand on, hand over a bunch of quarters, then park me in front of this, and wait in line to cash his Social Security check. Glad the owners of the place had the foresight to buy an arcade cabinet.

Although, why is this in the Tech forum?

Always played this after my parents softball games at a local pizza place. Countless hours dumped into it.

**Chicomagiko** · 2009-11-03 00:14

Arkanoid!

**Melena** · 2009-11-03 15:09

Milipede, Centipede, Pacman, Galaga, Operation Wolf were all among the first. Maybe Joust or Ghosts N' Goblins as well.

**Diocat** · 2009-11-04 01:59

Space Invaders...

**Jodwahh** · 2009-11-04 06:17

Pong.
