Elevator Action
Qix

Note: From my talks with others at SC3, CAX, other little get-togethers and arcade related transactions-meets, I have come to realize that a lot of people just don't know Qix. It is a seriously addictive game. And quite clever, too.

I can play Qix all day, easily.

Bubble Bobble
Rainbow Island
Qix
New Zealand Story
Parasol Stars (played it alot on my amiga) but acording to KLOV:
Taito never released this game, though, one have the game....
 
1. Elevator Action
2. Zoo Keeper
3. Alpine Ski
4. Jungle King/Hunt
5. Front Line
6. Qix

The beauty about Taito games is that they were so unique from one another (and other manufacturers games of the time period). No Pac-Man rip offs here, no "oh great another space shooting game"...spies shooting each other in elevator shafts, an addictive animal capture game with these amazing subtle nuances to the gameplay that you learn over time, a skiing game (though a damn fine one), a board cycling platformer set in the jungle, top down army game with cool controls, a drawing game...I mean it must have been awesome to work there, they really got creative IMO.
 
Definitely Frontline, though I haven't played it in a lonnnnnng time, I'm not sure if I would get the same stiffy I used to from it.
 
Taito

Frontline, Jungle Hunt, and Alpine Ski are the games I remember playin back in the day. My older brother liked them more, every time i looked for that chump in an arcade he was always playin some taito game..
 
Elevator Action and Jungle King for sure but...

Crazy Balloon is the one I spent the most money on. Stupid wiggly balloon.

I guess its easy for me to pick this one..because its my newest game...but I love SPACEGUN. One of the best "gun" shooters I have ever played, although they might as well have simply called it "Aliens" :)
 
Gladiator is my favorite. That was the first game that really hooked me. After that, I'd probably go with Double Dragon and Rastan.
