[COLOR=DarkOrange]If by arcade you mean ones you have to drop quarters into then there was one called track and field that was awsome to play. There was also the now clasic Gauntlet that had 6 people in it at once and always a line at it, if you ran out of quarters there was someone that would jump in and take your guy till they ran out of quarters. Fun times I'm so glad I can now play my game while sitting in a nice high back chair.[/COLOR]

As Gauntlet was a 4 player game, and the machine only had controls for 4 people, 6 player Gauntlet must have been a bit cramped.

Street Fighter 2 was good.
