The Top Five Most Common...

A lot of those 40 dollar 1n60 in table top configuration and in an upright cabs.
For real arcade machines..
Ms pacman
Some sort of golf arcade machine
Some sort of Nintendo upright.
Some water and weather beaten cab.
Some hacked driving game.
 
No games are common in my area except one. Centipede, in my small collection in the middle of nowhere, I have 2 of them and could get another one a couple of blocks away from me.
 
60 in 1.
Ms. Pac-Man
Neo Geo
Pole Position
Space Invaders

The 60 in 1 is easily the most common game out there now. They probably surpassed the original Ms. Pac-Man production run 5 years ago. I would not be at all surprised if there were a million or more of them out there now.

Always see Ms. Pac, never see Pac-Man.

I think we all underestimate how many Neo Geos are out there because so many of them are snapped up by console game collectors and never return to our world.

I have only owned 5 Pole Positions myself. However once when a bunch of us got to loot a warehouse for free, at the end of the day I was the last one there, and there was nothing left but 2 heavily water damaged cabinets, and something like 5 Pole positions. I hung around taking parts off the Poles until I ran out of time.

Space invaders was high production, almost never converted, still seems to crop up a whole lot, particularly if you count the clones and variants.

Defender, Joust and Stargate would belong on this list but there are a bunch of guys who hoard multiples of the Williams games, making them less available than they should be.
 
In my experience

Asteroids
Cheyenne - Crazy but I've owned 4 of em. I don't know what the deal is
 
Meh, live in Denmark:

Generic cab with TFT and 60 in 1
Generic cab with TFT and 60 in 1
Generic cab with TFT and 60 in 1
Generic cab with TFT and 60 in 1
Original arcade cabinet, most likely a racing/fighting game
 
In my experience:

Sega Turbo
Ms. Pac-Man
Neo Geo (typically a 2 or 4 slot)
Tekken 3 or Tag
Time Crisis 2 or 3

I've had 5 or 6 Turbos, Neo Geos, and Ms. Pac-Mans each. Sold a Ms. Pac a couple weeks ago, got 2 Neo Geos right now, and a cockpit Sega Turbo. I've had 2 or 3 Tekken 3's and have a Tag right now. I've had 3 or 4 Time Crisis games with a single player 2 right now. I've had a couple machines rotate back to me, but I didn't count them twice. I've also had maybe 3 or 4 Pac-Mans.

There's not really a saturation of 60-in-1's around here. Most of the ones in town are ones I built out of old 8-liners.
 
I'm pretty shocked by some of the responses. Sure they made a lot of titles mentioned... but common as far as being available for purchase I haven't had same experience.

Ms pac
Golden Tee
60in1 conversions
Lethal Enforcers
Area 51

Seen a lot of the above for sale over the years

I have not seen a ton of Galaga or Centipede - maybe asteroids to top out the list
