This place has been pretty dead lately. Which of your arcade games is currently getting the most play from you? I have found that I have been turning on and playing the heck out of my Burgertime lately. For some reason, since I got the HSS kit installed, the coin door light fuse replaced and the monitor roll fixed, it has become my favorite game (at least this week). I still can't get past the second board or break 25,000, but I love trying. For the record, the only other game I have been turning on lately is Donkey Kong.

And how are you doing on that?

I just started playing DK again after not playing at all over the holidays (Nov-Jan). I'm rusty. I didn't even break 150K after playing 3 games the other night. :(
 
I've been playing the Asteroids Deluxe I recently picked up, as well as TMNT now that I have a cabinet to put it in...however TMNT is not much fun by yourself.

Since installing my 8-1 multipac in ms. pacman, I really haven't touched it. I disassembled my rampage CP months ago for cleaning and never put it back together. I've fired up galaga a few times, but for the most part my games sat untouched for the last few months. Then I got my multi-qbert kit, and within a week i'd bought three more games :D

Not that great really. My 7 year old daughter got past the first board on Saturday for the first time, so there is that.
 
Not a specific game really, but I got kinda giddy last night. I had turned on all my games at once and vended myself a pocket full of tokens. Then I walked around with my hand in my pocket with the tokens and tried to decide what I wanted to play. It was just like the old days when I had to plan out my tokens.
 
I played a few rounds of Jr. Pac-Man on MAME very morning to practice before going to the local buisness that has one, I go usually once a week.
 
Road Runner.

Over 1 million points now without continues with a semi-working Hall Effect stick. :)

Once I get the stick rebuilt I will taunt Wile E much mo' betters.

I could never get past the windy road with the rocket. I'd almost get to the end, then smacko.
 
I have played nothing but Robotron for about 8 months straight. First, I was obsessed with breaking 1M points. Now, I am obsessed with trying to get 2M points.

Will it ever end?

P.S. I did recently pick up a Godzilla pin, so I have been taking short breaks from Robotron to bang on that a bit.
 
After a break from it, I've started playing Super Pac-Man again. I'm getting close to breaking 200,000. It is set to Twin galaxies settings which makes it a lot harder.

Also playing Jr. Pac turbo and got up near 225,000. That 6th board is all kinds of awesome. Ever since I replaced all of my joystick grommets these games play so much better. I love that original Midway joystick.
 
Right now I am playing a lot of Battlezone, at least once a day. What a cool immersive world. My high score is 78,000 and I am getting better, figuring out tricks, etc. I am even having some success with the supertanks.

I revived the Battlezone high score/gameplay tips thread but it went over like a lead balloon.

I think the Tron arcade game should have been more like Battlezone, using color vector graphics. IMHO, no collection is complete without a Battlezone.

Also playing my T2 pin quite a bit, and the Space Duel, before the monitor crapped out. Got a kit on the way from Bobby R. to hopefully fix it...also playing Berzerk quite a bit, but my high score is only a littler over 12k points. My only complaint about this game is that it gets too difficult too quickly after going through many levels that are kind of slow.
 
Haven't spent much time with the games lately, but a few weeks back I was playing UMK3 almost daily. Jesus there are a ton of moves, combos, and finishers to learn on that game.
 
Since ive been working like crazy since the new year, ive been stuck in hotel tell playing the ole pocket pool
