Mine was Turbo. I remember playing Turbo for hours when I was a kid. I was really good at Turbo, so I could stretch my quarter for long plays and maximize my time in the arcade. I probably spent 3/4 of all my arcade money on Turbo for the longest time. Too bad the old arcade closed down. I have turbo for a MAME emulator though. I would say that my second favorite would have to be Street Fighter II. Ken was my go to character.

I loved pac-man not so much ms pacman though. I spent hours on it - I biked to the arcade some 15 miles from home and the son of the owners had a crush on me so the games didn't cost much anyhow, lol. but I could get a fair long play on a single quarter. but I really liked the old pinball games that cost a dime to play - with the real ball bearing that hit real bumpers and thunkers and bells - and the lights and whirls.... that was true satisfaction in game playing.

I played pinball once in a while, but I guess I didn't catch the fever. Now air hockey on the other hand, that's a different story...

I have a few favorite arcade games that I loved to play. Galaga, Mrs. PacMan, and Centipede just to name a few. But my all time favorite was and still has to be Galaga. I could play it for hours! :)

Galaga was a great arcade game. I had a lot of fun playing that one too. I also had a blast with 1941 and 1942.

I loved Turbo too. I also really liked Pacman and Frogger.

You've got to love the classics. I remember playing these two much more on the Atari when I was younger. The Donut shop around the corner, way back when, used to have Ms. Pacman, DigDug and Bubble Bobble. Later on, they switched out the Dig Dug for Arkanoid. Ah the memories...
