oh man since my father loves to assemble an arcade machine (it was our business anyways) the first arcade that i played was a SNES console and a Family computer stuff like that.. and the very first arcade game that i beat was contra the alien wars on SNES :)
 
I'll never forget that time I first played WWF WrestleFest back in the days on some bar called Dave & Buster's? When I visited Dallas once, I think that's the name, can't remember very well, was a long time ago tbh... Anyway since that day I feel there was NO better wrestling game in arcade than WWF WrestleFest. Its just one of those childhood favorites that still feels fresh and fun to play these days. So many fun memories with this game!
 
I hung out in the back of a bar in a little town of 2000 people called The Hawk's Nest playing Double Dragon, Afterburner, Time Soldiers, Elevator Action, and Contra. I also hungo out at one arcade owned by a guy named bob and then after that another arcade ran by another bob.
 
^^ bob tale, lol :)

another OLD one, Moon Patrol (1982 Irem)
played around 84, in this one you drive a pink moon buggy, the screen scroll only in right direction, and you must jump to avoid moon craters and shoot at enemy ufo. to be an arcade, strangely has checkpoints

LOL If you own a Video Arcade, change your name to Flynn at least :)
Bob's Arcade
Not quite the same ring lol
 
My first arcade machine experience was almost certainly Space Invaders back when that craze first hit.
...if anywhere near me had a Pong machine when they were out, it would've probably been that, but I don't remember ever seeing a Pong machine in the wild until a couple of decades later.

I had more fun with (and spent a lot more time on) Galaxian a year or two later, and that was certainly the birth of my lifelong relationship with videogames.

Man I remeber playing the full sit down Cab of Pole Position II at my local Showbiz (Aka chuck e Cheese with a bear)
Good times.
 
^^ yes, great times :)

Kiki kaikai (1986 Taito)
i played this amazing game for a couple of months, before bar owner remove it, because with a single coin me and other friends, were able to play for hours :)
the real issue was that game did not improve difficulty after each walktrough, so if you was expert in the first one, quite infinite gameplay granted
dont remember if i have played the jap or the bootleg european version (named Knight boy)
you control a Shinto maiden and you must defeat a lot of jap-culture taken monsters
Great bossfights!
