In no particular order:
1. Chase H.Q
2. Mortal Kombat II (It was huge!)
3. The Simpsons (The 4-player cab)
4. Hard Drivin' (Loved the whole turn the key ignition to start the car)
5. WEC LeMans (Old psuedo 3D sprite racer with force-feedback steering wheel that was hard as fùck!!)
6. Fatal Fury 2 (Any of the Neo Geo cabs I was obsessed with but this the most.)
7. Virtua Racing
8. Afterburner II (Can't believe this monster machine wasn't mentioned!)
9. Street Fighter II rainbow (The pirate version that was always more fun)
10. Time Crisis II (The only arcade game I've cleared on 1 credit)
Too many great ones left out in this list. Brings back memories playing all those classics in the arcades, Bundoran and Seapoint in Galway were the only 2 that had a ton of cabs before they chucked them all out
*wipes tear from eye* Ah, the days when arcade games were only 10p a pop for the regulars and 50p for the big or new cabinets instead of the incredibly reasonable €1.500 -

no particular order:
spyhunter, ya sat in, the tunes were cool, and the game too.
punchout, as it had a dedicated cabinet type.
kung fu master, looks basic but plays excellently.
shinobi, just seemed to be a step up when it first came out (yes i'm that old)
street fighter 2, again, when it came out first, t'was a quantum leap.
super sprint
truxton, I used to love it, no particular reason, just a good game.
time crisis (2?), college time wasted there.
Raiden DX, college time wasted there too. (Hi Sue)
jesus, I nearly forgot Hyper sports!
way more but I'll stop at 10. 0 -

As for Mortal Kombat... it's a classic. Whether it's stood up to the test of time or not (Which it obviously hasn't)
It has stood the test of time. It's just as ****e as when it first came out. I wasted buckets of pocket money on the MK machines due to an impressionable mind that wanted gore and violence ahead of decent gameplay. MK1 was a truly abhorrent experience. MK2 was decent enough since the juggle combo system was quite good and the fighters quite balanced. But it came out at a time when SF2 Turbo and Samurai Showdown 2 were in the arcades, vastly superior games. MK3 was a complete joke. The juggle combos were replaced with stupid memory combos, the fighting was painful and dated as were the graphics and to make matters worse the gore was really looking silly and the fatalities were either unoriginal or just stupid. It came out at a time when people were playing Tekken 2, Virtua Fighter 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3 and enjoying the gory delights of resident evil. MK3 was a relic.

Hi all, im new here but i too have spent many an hour or 2 or 3 and plenty of 10ps in the quest to clear games in one credit (although people with their credits in the machine werent always pleased) my top 10 would have to include:
1. Shinobi (one of the first games to reward for up close attacks when clearing each level I think it was an extra 20,000 points!)
2. Street Fighter - all editions.
3. Double Dragon - you got to smack people with baseball bats!!
4. Ghouls and Ghosts
5. Moon Patrol
6. Bubble Bobble - using the button combos before starting the game for power ups.
7. Metal Slug - all editions.
8. Defender
9. Pengo - kicking blocks of ice around the screen.
10. New Zealand Story.
Im sure there is loads more I cant even remember.

Hyper Olympic!! (Track & Field) i was only playing International Track & Field aka Hyper Athlete the other day... the good old days of thrashing arcade controls to within an inch of there life
As for Tetris... there was always girls playing it (Insanely well I might add) so having my ass kick would not have been good for the ego. As for Street Fighter come on lets all agree...it was crap.:P0 -

In no particular order..
* Magic Sword - Heroic Fantasy
* Truxton Great to see others mention it, awful blisters playing this.
* Pocket Gal (English bootleg Rom) Great social game, many laughs.
* Gals Panic II This must have been a bootleg version, down behind Clerys.. you could clearly see the 'gee bags'. Sitting there, all angelic faced, in my school uniform. Skill, timing.. and a pan handle. I see there's a German version listed, it might have been that. Very graphic.
* Black Tiger Out in Bray, place was always seriously overheated, comfy stools, I'd last ages on this. Once finished though, lost interest.
* Bomber Man World More 'good play value'. I could sit there for ever playing it.. Quirky's, before their move to a Gambling type venue, right down at the back, beside their Dungeons & Dragons cabinets.
* Virtua Racer (VR) The sit down version, behind Clerys, lovely lovely game, I still love the chunkiness of the graphics. The version they had was a two player sit down, side by side.
* Neo Turf Masters Great playing value, very relaxing.
* T-Mek Quirky's..! I know someone is going to take the piss, but I loved this cheesy sit down.
* Mystery game - Wizard, Bard, Ninja or Valkyrie I think.. isometric Fantasy hack and slash, first boss was a purple blob with ring of teeth in head..0 -

I'm getting all misty eyed remembering back to the old arcades
My favorites where the arcade beside Murphy's Laugher lounge and the arcade on the opposite side of the Liffey, around the corner from the 'Harp'. Bliss...0 -
