TETRIS hands down! It was addicting. I still miss it decades later (the 80s version, that is).

I loved PAC MAN. I flipped the scoring on it several times. Hands would get sore playing.

Arcade or bar.  RevolutionX, Missile Command, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, and Space Invaders were my favorites (Had an Atari but no PlayStation and MegaTouch hadn't been introduced yet).

Ms. Pacman was my favorite. i couldn't get enough. Donkey Kong was a favorite & of course pinball but it is too bad we can't find them anymore. it is rare you come across them nowadays.
