For those old enough to remember...which game cost you more quarters than the rest?

 

Presto was the latest Rush album, 16 years before this quote.

 

I wasted a lot on the first TMNT arcade game and even though it's 90s, The Simpsons.

 

Both were epic.

I remember the graphics on Mach 1 were mind blowing at the time.

 

Track and Field (I could never do the high jump)

Super Chexx (the bubble hockey game)

 

The football and basketball games where you had to score add time to the clock.

 

The baseball game where you had to change your pitcher by the 3rd inning or you'd lose by the 4th.

 

Vanguard

 

Crazy Climber...

Excitebike is another sports game I loved playing.

Nice classic bunch, never played Tempest though.

Tempest was a long time favorite, and then I saw it in the Subdivisions video. Just solidified it even more for me.

Pac Man, but I didn't have to spend money on it, because I had an Atari at home. When I finally conquered the game, and knew I couldn't lose, I got bored with it.

Space Invaders came in second.

Tempest by a long shot, and well before I became interested in Rush.  Centipede, Missile Command, and Joust after that.

For video games at least; mostly I was a pinball machine freak.
