80s Arcade Throwback Thread

Throwback thread to the days when arcades were real and the concept of games centered around winning tickets to buy cheap crap was non-existant.
My favorites were Donkey Kong, Karate Champ and Defender. Rode my bike to small, dark arcades in Gonzales where the high school kids smoked cigarettes and played pool. Good times.
Who else?

I liked Bubble Hockey. Not a video game but it was in arcades.
Also liked the NBA Jam/NHL Open Ice/NFL Blitz series, and Daytona USA.

Asteroids...the Atari 2600 version was actually more fun than the real deal...

Used to hit up Space Port in Cortana, Time Zone in Denham Springs and a short lived one near Panchos on Florida. The oldest one I remember was in Corporate Mall, but that was before I could drive.

Played all of them in the Bon Marche Mall Arcade next to Spencer's or the arcade on Florida across from Kornmeyers.
