What was your favorite game as a kid and do you own one know!!

Growing up spending my summers at the Jersey shore i played all kids of games on the boardwalk. and id say hands down my favorite game i played when i was a kid was Dragon's lair. i thought it was incredible that you could play a game that looked like a sunday morning cartoon.
that was the second game i bought when i started collection games ! and still my favorite game of all.
 
dk, tron, crystal castles, popeye, tempest, joust and yes i have them all what great memories! sometimes i look at them off and just can't believe i own them.
 
Space duel was my 1st keeper game. Hard to say its my favorite as I like crazy climber and robotron just as much.

Food fight was the 1st game I found at a fleamarket, but the 2nd game I found was a space duel cocktail at a fleamarket.

Eventually bought a home owned upright and recently sold the cocktail.

Spy Hunter my favorite as a kid put many quarters in the one at Alladins castle in the greentree mall. Bought a nice cockpit a couple years ago probably my grail [for now]
 
As a kid, donkey kong was always my favorite vid and High speed was my favorite pin. I own both of them now.
 
I remember going to the local Sheetz convenience store where they had a Joust, Crystal Castles and a Pole Position. We got lucky enough to be there one day the coin boxes were being emptied out. I distinctly remember the dude putting 11 credits on the Crystal Castles for us. We thought we hit the jackpot. To this day, it's my favorite game and I do not own it :(

These are the ones i played ALL the time when i was a kid, I own all these and i listed the places i used to play them!!!!
 
My favorite was and still is Joust, and I'm lucky enough to own one now. I'm still looking for a Bubble Bobble and a DK or DK Jr., since I also played those often as a kid.
 
Ms. Pac Man and Dig Dug, a bit older Virtual On and Godzilla Wars Jr.

I have Ms. Pac Man in a repro cab and a multi, original upright Dig Dug, Virtual On and no Godzilla Wars Jr.

Not bad though.
 
My first 2 games were Rastan and Ninja Gaiden. Sold them when Rastan broke.
My Tron is the favorite I have now from when I was a kid. And Star Wars was a favorite from my teen years. Have one of them now too. Now if I could just find that pesky Red Baron.
 
i have most of the games i loved as a kid.
pacman always loved it have a beautiful one.
battlezone went years without being able to find one in an arcade just bought one
sf rush got it but never mess with it
1942 first game i bought


and i aways played the shit out of area 51 in arcades spent a fortune on the boardset a few years ago. worst purchase ever lost like a hundred bucks when i sold it and i only played it for about 10 minutes and the game is fucking boring when its free.
 
Mine was always Q*bert, and I'd play it at Summit Mall in Fairlawn, Oh. I was so damn small that my mom had to lift me up to reach the controls. That was the first vid I bought, and still my favorite.
I also played Baby Pac-Man...and I'm on the hunt!
 
The three games I played the most were Donkey Kong, Front Line and Super Cobra. Why these games? Well, because they were in walking distance of my house. I own DK and Front Line. No Super Cobra yet.
 
Ms. pac-man, pac-man, galaga, galaxian and mappy. First ones i ever played.
