Which Arcade Game Drained Your Childhood Savings?

[jonsmith6391]

I was a 90s kid, so:

Rampage (I used to play this at Fuddrucker's and Cici's Pizza; I can still smell that food-stained smell on the machines)
Soul Calibur
Pac-Man
House of the Dead
Crazy Taxi
The claw machines, 'cause, you know, what kid doesn't want to spend their allowance on a $5 plush toy of their favorite Pokemon character?

Galaga.
Mostly pool tables though.

Who remembers the trick in Galaga where you let the one, specific bee circle around for (I forget) 15 or 20 times then they wouldn't fire at you the rest of the game? You could play for an hour and run up the score and they would never drop bombs on your ships. Good times...

I never spent much time in arcade and never had any gaming systems but the one game I played whenever I saw one was Galaga.

Beast Busters and Operation Wolf. I believe they both had an Uzi type gun that recoiled when you shot it. I was hooked.

Operation Wolf did for sure. I've wanted an UZI ever since!
