Oh, hell, we could just toss out most of the Williams pin-catalog in here – Terminator 2, Star Trek: TNG, PinBot, Funhouse…
There was a computer port done by Littlewing (buy their stuff!), but it’s no longer available from them for some reason.
1942
Galaga
Wonder Boy
Rally-X
Elevator Action
Good times, good times…
If this is now the '90s pinball thread, then The Twilight Zone wins. That game was fun and flat-out weird. Fish Tales was pretty good too.
And no Star Wars vector graphics in Shockwave or Java online? WAAAAAH!!!
Do Video and Pinball Arcades still exist?
Dooku – are you sure you’re not thinking of Space Wars ? I freakin’ loved that game.
Shoot – I just remembered. Maybe it was Solar Quest ?
They had similar graphics and the same controls. But in Space Wars you battled another player, while in Solar Quest you battled alien ships and rescued survivors. Either way, both games rocked.
My favorite arcade game of all time was Xevious . I remember my 14 year old self being blown away by the graphics when I first played it.
I liked Joust, and had friends who were Tron and Defender fans, but I spent my arcade time mostly on a thing called (if I remember correctly) Quantum. The only skill involved was being able to draw circles quickly using a ball controller, but I liked it anyway. I also enjoyed that it was next to the Gauntlet game, where four people could all argue at once about who accidentally let the monsters out of the corridor above them. That was entertaining too.
I loved that game also. I was going to mention it, but for some reason I kept thinking it was called Xerxes.
And I just found an emulator of it. Sweet!!1!
Then I’m sure you’ll have loved Xenon 2: The Megablast also … I still think that game is pretty today. (better looking graphics on the ST and Amiga versions than the PC version I linked to)
Of the really old games, I loved the ingenuity of Miner 2049er: Bounty Bob Strikes Back - it has the best high-score screen in the history of video games, still.
A noteworthy accomplishment is the STeem emulator, with which you can play Atari Games, among which Marble Madness. The Amiga version of that game was a lot better though - I finished the ST version in a day, and returned it to the shop. The Amiga version was equally short, but then restarted the levels with less time available each time you played through. The ST version just stopped. I exchanged it (and got money back on that too) for a game that lasted a bit longer: Gauntlett II (for which I soldered two extra Joysticks onto the STs Serial port to allow for the 4-player action. 
- Crystal Castles (“Get the gems, Bentley Bear!”)
- Missile Command
- Berzerk (I’d forgotten all about this one until people mentioned it in the thread!)
Honorable mentions:
Galaxian
DigDug
Anyone remember Strat-o-Vox? (At least, I think that’s what it was called.) You’d get points for your leftover lives or ammo or whatever at the end of each round, and the machine would go “Lucky, lucky, lucky…lucky, lucky” as it counted them off and added them to your score.
My vote’s for a somewhat obscure game called Star Rider. It was one of the early laserdisc games and involved racing a futuristic motorcycle through a series of strange worlds. The visuals were amazing for the time period (early 80s, probably around '84) and I spent way too many quarters on it in my college video arcade.
Well now I’m confused. I’m now positive it was called “Solar Quest” but you didn’t rescue anyone, you just battled another player. Also, the one in my local drugstore wasn’t the stand up model, but a larger table-top model where both players’ controls were on the same side of the table. It was most definitely not in color like the one in your link, so maybe it was an older version that later got spiffed up with a rescuing surviors feature after the success of Defender?
Anyway, thanks for the reminder!
