I still can't believe that no one has given love to 720. This would definately top my top 10 list.

SFII: CE
T2 Pinball
Spy Hunter sitdown
Point Blank (recoil was awesome)
1942
Joust
TMNT 4 player
Simpsons 4 Player
Punch Out
and of course, 720.

2. Star Wars
3. Space Harrier
4. Thunder Blade
5. Discs of Tron
6. Galaga
7. Ms. Pac-Man
8. Sinistar
9. Spy Hunter
10. Super Sprint

1 D&D Tower of Doom
2 Street Fighter III: Third Strike or maybe SF2: Anniversary
3 Soul Calibur II
4 X-men 6-player
5 Simpsons 4-player
6 Raiden fighters? A schmup of some sort
7 Golden Axe
8 Ms Pac Man/Galaga combo
9 real DDR machine (gotta make the wife happy, and get some exercise)
10 Light gun game - perhaps House of the Dead, Time Crisis, or Area 51

I'd do a real pinball machine but I'm not a fan of the maintence required.
