Street Fighter II - I couldn't stand the 1-on-1 game play, the limited (only twelve or so) poorly animated backgrounds, and the short games (what do you mean I lost in two quick rounds????). I avoided them for the longest time until they started to grow on me. I was a lot more of a fan of beat-em-ups like Final Fight, TMNT, Aliens vs. Predator and others like Aliens, Out Run, Turbo Out Run, Strider, etc. When everything became a 1-on-1 fighter in the arcades, I stayed away and turned to home consoles.

It is definitely not that cool. For the curious:

I just couldn't stand the gameplay. It was torture for it to be the only arcade machine for 30 miles around growing up. Hated playing it, but I agree with you. I've never seen another one since (20+ years ago).
SF II and all the clone fighting games that came after. I had great disdain for them at the time. But now I think they are kinda cool even though I still suck at them.
Dragon's Lair. It was the biggest sugar coated rip off when I was a kid. I remember it costing $1 a play and with those unique video animations, sounds and the cool looking cab, what kid wouldn't want to try it out? One of the biggest mistakes I ever made in an arcade. Though, it would be cool to own one now. You just have to pay for all the credits up front.

Joust, no doubt. Never could get the hang of that fn game, and it never did jack shit on the route. Had a cocktail model and back then there was nothing suitable to convert it to. Business was good at the time, so I gutted the cabinet and junked it just to make room in the shop. Who knew I would live this long?
Mortal Kombat. I always have and always will get my ass handed to me.

And I still don't care for it.

God, I remember HATING that game too. Zaxxon replaced Time Pilot at the bowling alley where we'd play games BITD. Those bastards.

Dragon's Lair. 50 cents and I didn't understand how to play. You don't really play it as you don't control a character on the screen. I didn't get that it was a timing thing. If you miss your chance, you just die. Pretty disappointing for a 7 year old.
Add another one for Dragons Lair. I hated to drop a dollar for that damn game especially after waiting in line to play. Seems like I waited longer in line to play than I actually played..haha
Now it is the gem of my collection...no more lines..lol

I too hated joust (alot). But had to comment on Golden Axe, this was at a Kwik Shop in Lincoln, NE and we played it all the time, it was the first game I actually beat on location. Of course, if you have enough quarters anyone could beat it.
