No Asteroids?
No Battlezone?
No Defender?
No Tempest?
God damn you kids have no appreciation for how good you have it now. (Get off my virtual lawn!)

we all don't have one foot in the grave to remember actually playing those games in the arcade.

Where I worked, servicing the machines, back in the mid 90's we had a pair of these.
Linked together, the polygon graphics might look dated now, but they gave you a very real feeling 3D landscape and the frame rate was super fast for the day.
It felt good cleaning or working on it as it kinda felt like F1 technology.
For reference Ferrari F1 car.

And the subsequent "What the everliving fuck is this!" after you throw an entire dollar in and get maybe 10 seconds of "gameplay". I remember not even being sure that what I "played" wasn't just another part of the attract reel. That shit felt like highway robbery for my young arcade-going self.
Starcade was a den of lies!

i sucked at fighting games but loved
pacman, Gauntlet and Rygar
i was good at asteroids & tempest also
for gauntlet and rygar, a dollar would last about 2 or more hrs. i could finish rygar and gauntlet i was very good at(could last an hr or more on a quarter)

They have one of these in the newer Pinballz in Austin. It plays Pacman, Galaga, and a few other games.
I had to go with SF2 only because TMNT wasn't an option. Lotta great games on that list, though. Missing a few, as well, but whatever.

For whatever reason Rampage wasn't in my local arcade so it quickly reached mythical status. Any time we'd see it my brother and I would go apeshit.
