I have fond memories of Galaga. My favorite beat-em-up was Aliens vs Predator.

Here's how old I am:

I was a total expert at "Time Pilot". I spent so many quarters in that machine in the mid 80's.

Current gen blows that kid's mind!

Is Tyrian too new?

Unless you were playing it at an arcade with some sort of ghetto homebrew cabinet, that game supported SIX players.

Both four-player and the rarer six-player cabinets existed. As you mentioned, the six-player cabinets had a dedicated position for each X-Man while the four-player version had select screens. Also, the Japanese version had power-ups! If you still enjoy it, go get it for XBL or PSN! =D

The arcade game that ate most of my quarters would probably be the Capcom D&D series, christ I loved those games, to this day i'm still tempted to scream out STICKS TO SNAKES!!! when I play a cleric

You, Sir, can go die in a fire!

My buddies and I still play that on MAME (because of the lack of a real arcade in our town now) and I swear to God this actually happened:

*Red Dragon is obliterating us*
"Alright, let me show you boys how this is done...STICKS TO SNAKES!"
*Casts Sticks to Snakes and kills Red Dragon*
"Fuck. Off."

Yeah. I don't like Sticks to Snakes. Not one bit.

OT: Lucky & Wild, Simpsons Arcade, X-Men Arcade, Time Crisis 2, Sunset Riders, TMNT, D&D, D&D2 and oh so many more...

My favourite arcade game that I played in an actual arcade is probably The King of Dragons (scrolling beater by Capcom).

My favourite arcade game that I play on a home console port is Mushihimesama Futari.

Skate or Die 720 and Bust-A-Move.

The Simpsons arcade game actually.
I just remember it being there in every leisure park me and my family would stay at when we went on camping holidays back in the 90s.
I liked the simpsons alot more back then and I liked video games. So it just worked.

I would always play as Lisa because the skipping rope looked pretty painful!
