I was inspired to ask this after reading the "games you SHOULD like, but don't" topic. Are there any such arcade games that either no or very few enthusiasts dislike? And by "dislike", I mean actually experiencing unpleasantness, not just indifference. Here are some famous games that I think may fall in that category:
Berzerk
Bubble Bobble
Gyruss
Time Pilot

Does anyone really dislike any of those? Can anyone think of other games that may fit?
 
i dont care for any of them. i'd say centipede, space invaders, pac man, and pole position would be games that everyone likes

I dislike all, but Space invaders in that line up. NEXT! :)

As for Time Pilot, I'm not a fan. The game bores me, Sorry. :eek:

My list includes:
Crazy Climber
Speed Buggy (how could you hate it if you haven't played it.)
Food Fight
Puzzle bobble
Balloon fight
Pengo
Mappy

Also, I think this thread may be impossible to achieve your ultimate goal. But this looks like it's going to be fun.

I can vouch for that. I have absolutely no interest in golf but I find myself playing it sometimes on the MAME cab.
 
I'll plus 1 for tempest.
I'd like to say Galaga, but toooooooo many Defender players hate it cause its too damn easy.
A great many people love Donkey Kong. I'll let you know on that one if I ever get my machine working the way I want it to.

And for the record, I hate all the PAC games that I have played. They're just boring.
 
Games that I think few people would dislike.

Tetris
Ms. Pac-Man
Super Mario Bros.
Tecmo Bowl (for PC-10)
Galaga
Donkey Kong
Street Fighter II

And technically,any mega-hit game falls into this category.
Mega-hit = overwhelming majority of people love it.
 
For video games I think there are always people who just won't play them....any of them.

For arcade games in general, I haven't found anyone who doesn't at least enjoy watching people play Super Chexx bubble hockey. And pinball in general has very few haters.
 
Of the games listed so far I would say tetris and probably hydro thunder are the only two that I can think of nearly everone if not everyone liking or at least not hating. You might also be able to add san francisco rush series although there are so many drivers I bet some might not like rush because they like another series better.
