My other favourite arcade games from the 1980's, which I had to travel a little further to play, included:

Out Run
Silkworm
Robocop
R-Type

There were so many places that had great selections of arcade games back in the 1980's and 1990's. It's such a shame that they disappeared as they had a unique atmosphere which cannot be easily recreated today. There was nothing quite like setting a high score in front of a crowd of people huddled around the arcade cabinet you were playing on.

I miss those days........
