TRON was my favorite video game.
Old-style pinball games were fun too...a group of 4 of us could each spend a quarter and rack up enough free games to last a couple of hours. "Space Invaders" and "Paragon" were my favorites.

I remember that too.....before each "round" the other boxer would bounce towards you and back off, you then would start the game.

Yoshi's Island
Yoshi's Island is one of the only games I've ever beaten - and all because the first time that damn baby cried I got so irritated I picked it up super-fast. So I played well the rest of the game just to make sure I didn't have to hear the wailing again.
