Some friends opened an arcade in our neighborhood in Harvey/Marrero, on the Expressway. We could ride anywhere between the Canal, Barataria, the River, and the Expressway...we could ride our bikes to the arcade. It lasted about three years or so, but what a great time!!! Especially during the summer. Two bucks, and air conditioning.
Pac Man
Defender
Asteroid (had one at K&B across the Expressway, too.)
Galaxian
Galaga
Phoenix
Dig Dug
Gorf
Berzerk--"Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert"
Qix
Qbert
Space Invaders
Missile Command
Death Race
Star Wars
Tempest
Gauntlet with three other guys in the arcade at Loyola, always fun
PGA Golf, Baseball, trac-ball soccer and football.
There was a Defender-type game, but with a chopper and old school military targets, man can't remember the name.
Good days.

Great thread!
I miss arcades so much. They were awesome.
Dig Dug I played at a Shakey's pizza that was here in town at the time. That and Joust.
Donkey Kong was a big part. Played it at a place called Pat O'Carroll's.
The main arcade was in the mall, it was called the Land of Oz. I remember playing Zaxxon there, Karate Champ, Moon Patrol, Star Wars, a game where you were in a tank driving it around.... Battle Zone?
Dang Dragon's Lair always sucked me in because it was a "cartoon." That game was so hard. Yet you'd stand there and dump in a bunch of dollars in quarters.
Gauntlet (elf shot the food!). Then you'd go next door and get a slice of pizza and a coke, even if it was a Sprite.
Played the heck out of Pac Man at a little convenience store right across the street from Prien Lake Park.
Tron at the local skating rink. I think I spent more time playing Tron while wearing my skates than I did actually skating. I loved that game. The light cycles!
Good times.

Forgot to mention this favorite earlier. I used to like leaving with one robot left so it would say, "chicken, fight like a robot."

Arcades are making a comeback. They are for adults now and are bars. Winston-Salem has three downtown arcade bars. These are places with fifteen or more machines.

Pizza Hut up the street from my house had a table top version of Asteroids. Myself and a few of my friends would ride up there (about a mile) on our bikes and play almost everyday. They eventually took out the Asteroids game and exchanged it for a Galaga.

Was just telling my wife the other day about what Alladins castle was called back in the day when it was across from where foot locker is now. Couldn't remember the name of it.
And neither of us remember the name of that pizza place, sucks getting old
Played the shite out of golden axe in Skate City back in sixth grade.

Spy Hunter- while driving on 10, at times I wish my car had the oil slick, smoke screen, knife extension rims and front grill mounted guns....or I could just bump the car next to me off the road.
