Is there DIP Switch settings for Neo Turf Masters so that you can set it for one credit for the whole first nine holes? There's a local video game store around here where we have monthly gatherings and one time tried to set up a Neo Turf Masters tournament, but it was declaring the winner after 3 holes. Any way to fix this?
It is by and away one of the best golf games ever though, for sure!
Here's the soft dip settings:

Looks like there could be in the soft dip, "(15 holes/continue possible.)"
Sea Wolf is like the 98 year old man at a bar who all the hot chicks run up to, kiss on the cheek and tell him that "all the girls better watch out tonight" 'cause he looks so good. It's all just BS though.
Here is a visual to help you see what I'm talking about.

+1 pinball by far has more replay power than almost any video. This is coming from someone that started with video games first. Even simple tables like Firepower and High Speed push you to play one more game and do better. It's like playing golf. It's just you vs. the course. There's no pattern or algorithm to cheat. Mother nature and gravity always ensure that you may not get the same game twice.
robotron
robotron for me also. i sometimes go weeks without playing any of my arcade games, sometimes i just like hanging and just watching the attract modes, more like eye candy for me. i grew up very poor and just like the fact of owning these games, but when it comes to it i always gravitate to the old robotron and light it up for a few million points. i can do this while watching the tv! how many of you actually drop quarters? i know i do!! makes it feel nostalgic!

I gotta disagree with so many on this list.
Marble Madness-it takes like 6-9 minutes to beat this game. After that do you pop in a quarter and do it again? I love it don't get me wrong but not a lot to replay there in my book.
Mortal Kombat II-Has the worst AI in the series. Half of the game is spent having the computer walk up and throw you from foot sweep distance. Playing against Kitana/Mileena you lose to German Suplexes and hop kicks. The game is largely just jump kick back up jump kick back up jump kick back up. With another it is great, but solo this is the WORST in the series for replayability.
Toobin- Really? Hey to each their own.
For me my top Solo games:
Golden Tee Complete-I have played this game more then anything else (its various versions) even though I grew up in arcades I spent way too much time in bars. And after I got my giant version of this game I play it probably 3 times a week after close by myself at least a game, with friends...MANY games. And freeplay doesn't hurt it at all, as long as you don't start using mulligans. Never gets the credit it deserves.
Crystal Castles-I could play this game all night. I love this game, it takes concentration skill and is fun in a cartoony way.
Tempest-Another games I could play all night. Hard, takes skill, the game doesn't get boring, fast paced.
Road Show-My pinball entry. It gives you different tasks based on cities, you can follow different paths each time. A lot going on in the game. I played this every night for about a year at a local bar. When you get good the game really opens up for you.
Die Hard arcade- Why I have no idea, whenever I see it I MUST put quarters into this game. Even though I have beat it on 1 credit many times over I still get a kick out of this game. And it is fun to try new things with it, the vast weapons and moves you can do make it one of the best beat em ups of all time. Most beat em ups suck for replay, this one doesn't at all.
Point Blank-To me the end all be all of shooting games. None of this movie style crap where once you learn the pattern that is it like Area 51. Ever changes, Very challenging, and a great high score mechanic. The best shooter ever period!
Capcom Bowling-Simple, easy, fun with the cartoon interludes. This game set the standard for bowling games to come.
Xmen vs SF-For solo game play this has to be my favorite Fighter. It is fun, interesting characters and the tag off feature and team combos made it pretty cool back then. Apocalypse was a pretty decent boss character, unique for the time.
My Multi-Person List, games are always better with friends-
NBA Jam-Back and forth, trash talking, up to 4 people. Provides the nostalgia as you go back to when basketball was fun and watchable, and not just a bunch of overpaid, flopping, garbage thugs. Players then were better, the game wasn't completely fixed by the refs, and lastly "Boooom shaka laka"!
Mortal Kombat-My group of friends grew up on this. I am the king of Mortal Kombat, I rarely get competition, but get my cousin and some friends around and this will get played for 10 hours.
SFII-See above.
Primal rage-Again see above
Warlords-The ultimate party game. When you have the last two people with just a couple of blocks left it gets intense, this is a fun game even for spectators.
Joust-play cooperative or... "3,000 points is 3,000 points"
Cruisin World-Fun driver game that doesn't cheat too badly, some neat tricks add to it.
