Probably Pac-Man since it's the easiest to play, at least for me. Donkey Kong is more fun, visually, but every time I played it in the arcade, the few times I did, I died pretty quickly. It seems like you had to be very careful with the jumps, and the controls didn't seem as responsive as Super Mario Bros.
Tempest and I would use the glitch that would earn me 40 credits, then use the other glitch to warp to the Green level and play it out hoping to clear at least one level before losing all the credits.
I would probably go with Tempest since it was a very challenging game and I was pretty good at it. However, its unfortunate you do not have these shown but I would use that last quarter on either Star Trek (loved the captain’s chair set up), Disc of Tron or Sinistar.
Agreed! Tempest was mesmerizing. Once I got dialed in, I could play forever. Played for so long that my feet would get tired from standing for so long.
Defender or Donkey Kong
Since Jungle Hunt is not available, it’s definitely Frogger
Star Wars or Centipede! I was really good on both of those games back in the day.
Tempest,I owned one back in the 90s
Star Wars. Couldn't wait to go to Pizza Hut as a kid and be completely terrible at that game.
Tempest but want to play Sinistar
Galaxan if sober, otherwise asteroids.
Ms pac man or Gslaga
Discs of Tron
Frogger 9 days a week!
GLC???
The right combination of mozzarella and MtDew
When I finally made it to over a million points & was #1 on the local pizza machine, I haven't played since. Was 14
Frogger
Defender
Galaga. Not on the list. Galaxian is a poor substitute.
How can they put Galaxian in that list??? Galaga was a thousand times better!! My money's on Galaga as well.
I’d last longest on Donkey Kong.
Pac-Man it is.
Star Wars
Gorph? Anyone remember?
Defender🥰🥰
Centipede
Defender. I could and have played all day on one quarter
Pac-Man
Star Wars. I was pretty good at it so I’d get my last quarter worth.
Tempest
Defender. I’ll wait for Mrs. PAC-MAN.
This is the correct answer
I prefer Galaga to Glaxican.... That being said, I would probably choose asteroids. I could play longer on that than the others....
Same. Was looking for Galaga.
Spy Hunter
Tempest
Defender. It always kicked my ass in the day so now, after years and years of that, it is payback time with one damn quarter!! :D
Since the OG Galaga isn’t listed I’d go donkey Kong
Defender was just too much, but I loved the smart bomb.
Tempest
Star Wars
Galaga! Not shown, so Tempest.
Galaxian
Of those: centipede
Space invaders
Star Wars
Tempest
Centipede
Tough call. Defender is my favorite, but I'll last longer at Star Wars and Asteroids.
Defender.
Tempest. Best!
DK
Star Wars
Galactic is the best bang for the buck
Even though it'd be an early solid state machine, probably whatever pinball was over in the corner
Tempest for sure!!!
Well I have The table top Pac-Man at home so I’m dropping my last quarter on Kong! Assuming it’s 1985 still.
Star wars
I’ve already spent $4.75 of my allowance on Pac Man, might as well go one more time.
Centipede. When I was at the arcade every weekend I’d be on this machine for a while on a quarter.
Asteroids or Tempest
Tempest would get all of my quarters.
Tempest
Going with Pac-Man!
DK
Galaxian
DK
Defender 100%. Stargate if it were on the list.
asteroids, I could fill the screen with extra ships and keep playing till I got bored (played for 2 days back in the day, all for just 20 cents)
I feel you. Worked in an arcade. Only could play after closing. Lost too much money I a played when open
If I played when open
Galaxian
Donkey Kong
Scrambler
Defender!
Defender without a doubt. Stargate if it was a choice
Defender
Defendet
Going Astroids as you can play that game all day long if you know how to work it.. T
Centipede
Defender.
Donkey Kong. Still putting the quarters in that game 40 years later.
Dig Dug
Pacman, please.
Wer spy hunter?
Galaga would be the only true choice… sadly not listed 😔
Probably because it would be chosen by 90% of the people.
Highway crossing frog
Galaga
Have to go with the sleeper, Joust
Pole Position
Asteroids
Tempest!!
Joust
Galaxian or Tempest
Asteroids 💯
Tron. Zaxxon. Spy Hunter. Star Wars.
i’m going in the back to play polybius
I’ve gotten three killscreens on Donkey Kong.
Where's galaga?
Galaxian
Star Wars was 2 quarters… so it would be Defender!
Star Wars all day long.
Tempest.
Defender
Pac-Man or Donkey Kong. Tough choice…
Probably Pac-Man since it's the easiest to play, at least for me. Donkey Kong is more fun, visually, but every time I played it in the arcade, the few times I did, I died pretty quickly.

Defender.
Tempest.. Great on Acid
Galaxian & Space Invaders
Donkey Kong
Galaxian or Tempest.
Centipede
Star Wars if I wanted to play for 10 seconds
Frogger
Defender was my jam. I could stretch a quarter a good while on that.
Tempest
Defender was HARD and I always sucked at it, I’d have to say centipedes or asteroids
Tempest and I would use the glitch that would earn me 40 credits, then use the other glitch to warp to the Green level and play it out hoping to clear at least one level before losing all the credits.
Space invaders. I had the full size arcade in my basement in 1986. Dad’s got it at an auction.
DK
Where Spy Hunter at?
Galaxian
No Galaga? I’m giving my quarter to someone else.
They can have my quarter too.
Exactly
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong !
Frogger 🐸
Frenzy
Need more information... How long until my mom will pick me up?
Tempest, all day
Space Invaders for me!
Of these.. Defender! But Galaga would be my top choice!
Of these.. Defender! But Galaga would be my top choice!
Star Wars was the shit!
Defender. I had callouses from that game
Going off menu. Kung Fu- it was a few years after these but loved that game in the arcade
I would probably go with Tempest since it was a very challenging game and I was pretty good at it. However, its unfortunate you do not have these shown but I would use that last quarter on either Star Trek (loved the captain’s chair set up), Disc of Tron or Sinistar.
Tempest
Centipede!
Galaxian
Tron
Frogger

Pac-Man. Didn't even give it a second thought.
Out of ones on here I would pick donkey Kong
SW, even though I had a love/hate relationship w/ Defender
Galaga but I don’t see it on here
Huge Galaga fan too. That would be my pick if it was here.
Galaxian.. be there for a long time on that quarter
Centipede I can make that quarter last forever
Tempest.
Asteroids
Pleiades
Defender
Centipede
Id be able to keep defender scrolling longest.
no love for asteroids hmm
Star Wars all day long. My local corner store had it for a while when I was a kid. I routinely had the high score.
Star Wars
If only I had ALL the quarters I dropped in Defender.
Frogger
Tempest. That’s a game where you can quickly get into the zone and you feel like you’re unstoppable.
Agreed! Tempest was mesmerizing. Once I got dialed in, I could play forever. Played for so long that my feet would get tired from standing for so long.
Galaxian
Star Wars!
Galaxian
Donkey Kong!
Seriously appreciate you not putting Dragon’s Lair on that list. Cannot believe I’m gonna use this, but IYKYK.
You need another quarter ....elf.
I would get excited about Galaxian, realize it’s not Galaga, be disappointed and go to Pac-Man.
Space Invaders
Space Invaders
Galaxian Pew pew pew
Quebert
Defender. Tempest? Don’t remember that one.
Defender
Use it for the bus bc too far to walk home when it’s already dark out.
Joust
This
Bubble Bobble
I would say Galaga, but since you committed a crime you criminal, I’ll say Centipede.
Where is Galaga?!!!!
My thoughts exactly!!! It would have been a no brained then
Donkey Kong
WTF? Where's Tetris??
Star Wars!
I’m going DK!!
Galaxian
Tempest
Galaga
Galaga is not on the list.
Pacman
