Awesome list dude. I'll be sure to look out for them compilation disks. I was born in '85 and lived in a town without arcades. I moved away to a place that did, but by this time it was the late 90's so my memories of the arcade was Fighters like street fighter and tekken, Gun games like point blank and House of the dead and racing games like ridge racer and Daytona. Fun times. Kudos on including your mum in that little skit. Can she really beat you at the arcade? I AM SINISTAR!!!!!!

I was born in 81 and hell yeah, this list brings back memories hehe. I remember wanting to play arcade games so badly but never had any money on me and mom wouldn't let me have any. I hope you do a 90s list hehe.
