What is your most underrated arcade game of all time?

I'm just wondering, guys.

What is the most underrated arcade game you've ever played (e.g., a game that barely anyone has ever heard of, barely played, and a game that most people don't really care about). To me, one of them is "Sega Water Ski", the most underrated game on Sega's Model 2 hardware, a game that barely anyone has taken videos of on YouTube, and not really a frequently seen one. I also think "Sega Bass Fishing" is underrated, too. That's a Model 3 game, and not many people play that game.
 
Rampart gets my vote. Everyone that has taken the time to learn how to play, loves the game. However that number is relatively small, as Rampart is a relatively obscure game that was released during the final death throes of the arcade and has abit of a learning curve and is funnest played against others.. (1990).

Rampart gets my vote too, love playing it. A couple of other ones that fit into this category for me are T-Mek and Steel Talons. I used to play both for hours on end and if I had the room and could find them I'd own both of them.

Another vote for T-mek and Steel Talons. Great games, too bad they're massive.
 
I'd have to go with Cinimatronic's Rip Off. It's a great co-op game but very few people remember ever playing it.

Penguin Kun Wars. Seriously. I've never seen a game that's been so popular on my MAME rig with gamers and non-gamers alike.

I really do like Rampart, too, but the gameplay is more akin to a PC game, and that does seem to turn off some people.
 
Rescue!

Its Robotron with helicopters and nobody has ever heard of it.
 
demon rock ola
metro cross
the end

It's on the 60 in 1 so I imagine many people own it although that would be the easier konami release not the stern release which had a dedicated cab. I guess it's not for the casual player as it's a brutally hard game.
 
not that these are underrated but not sure if many have heard of em.

Zupapa, great little platformer, kinda like nightmare in the dark.

Black tiger.. cant spread the word enough, I dont know how I found out about it but its my favorite jamma game hands down.

and im gonna say galaxian..
