Star Wars where you sat in the cockpit of an X wing. Vector Graphics at its best

Would have to be something multiplayer.
Possibly Crackdown or Xenophobe or maybe something linkable like the car racey ones :)

Ah, those were the days, when the game lasted as long as you could keep playing.

I remember a mate and me going from school to the arcade. An hour and a half and we'd only have spent 10p each :) I guess Crystal Castles (one of my faves) was an exception, but a whole 10 or 12 levels still took several times longer than todays abreviated games.

Other favourites were Galaxians, Robotron, Centipede, Tempest etc. but the all time fave would probably have to have been Xevious.

I was gonna say wonderboy in monster land - that game had me hooked for months... used to be able to finish it with one coin :) Other than that it's a tie between Golden Axe, Silk Worm and Double Dragon.

Never really played that many arcade machines, as paying 50p every 10 mins to play a computer game seemed a little extreme. But went on holiday to Tenerife once and it was like 12p a go on an arcaic looking Tetris machine. Spent most of the holiday playing that, sod beaches ffs!

So mine is Tetris, winnar!
