Not the ones you play on your consoles... but the ones we use to play at the arcades or when the fairs come thru...
Did you have a favourite or was there a game you just happen to be really good at....
Racing games were my thing... so super Monaco gp, operation wolf, .... was bloody brilliant even if I don’t mind saying myself at track and field, and outrun! Found the outrun soundtrack on Spotify and now playing it whilst tootling around at 30.... lol like my inner 13-14 yr old coming out!!
So did you have your favourite big arcade games? |

Space Harrier, deluxe cabinet with the hydraulics of course 
Built a bartop running RetroPi and loaded it up with a bunch of games.
I can also recommend Arcade Club in Bury, they have a whole floor of 70s 80s and 90s arcade games |

Spy Hunter, especially the sit in cabinet game, still love the Peter Gunn theme and the car going through the boathouse to go onto the water 
Fantastic memories of going on holiday mid 80’s |

"I loved playing Tekken.
Actually, not sure if I’m thinking of Street fighter?
It was a fighting game anyway  "
ooooo had streetfighter 2 for the SNES my dad got it from curry’s/Dixon’s one of them then later got the turbo version that was the mental at the time! Final fight was a old arcade classic too |

"There was a huge arcade in the middle of Leicester Square where they had an outrun machine you could play in a proper Jaguar soft top.... it was madness "
The Trocadero Centre. That place used to have everything, still remember the Pepsi Max drop ride they had in the middle |

"Star Wars at the fair or Yarmouth
Is that the original Death Star run?"
1 Are you familiar with Starwing/Starfox franchise From the SNES console, home of the Arwing? This is bordering on copyright infringement anda massive nod and wink to that Star Wars arcade game. Lylat wars even has the voice that sounds like Spock.
Been there done that, OWN the t-shirts and Arwing!  |

I lived in Brighton for awhile in the 90s and I was often in the arcades playing a few games. My favourite was Operation Wolf I actually got to the end of the game, admittedly it cost me a bit of money the one and only time I managed it ... |
