There are so many great ones mentioned here, so I'll just say mine would have to include:

Time Pilot

Gyruss

Space Harrier

AfterBurner

Star Trek

Space Duel

Smash TV

Total Carnage

Blaster

M.A.C.H. 3

 

Way back in 1983-84 when I would hang out at the Aladdin's Castle arcade at the mall where my mom worked, it was probably Gyruss and MACH 3 that actually impressed me the most of all games up to that time. I used to dream of owning a MACH 3 machine (before I understood that it used a very fussy disc player that would be a pain in the butt to maintain :D )

I just LOVED that old arcade. I can still remember the smell of that room and the coolness of the A/C on a hot day. Ahhh ...memories!

I've long had an idea/business venture to make some sort of Arcade Museum that's more of a tourist destination point for gamers and families on holiday that housed a huge number of arcade uprights, amusement machines, pinball machines, skee ball and more, and sectioned areas off by the respective companies who made and released the games, with tour services ever so many times a day, and let ppl actually play the games for like a 45 minute timespan (as long as they followed the rules of the place)... hell I even began collecting arcade uprights for awhile before I burned out on the idea and ended up selling stuff off, keeping only a few cabs for myself.

 

I only say this here because I know I don't have the time nor the money for such a business venture and it's a bitch trying to track down all the original cabs themselves... but what I would have liked to have had in my arcade museum???

 

Well here's at least a small listing of what I had in mind:
