Complaining about the poll options is a given. But seriously, were is the Ms. Pac-Man option?

No Pac-man? No Dig Dug? No Galaga or Raiden or 1942/3?
I'll take my quarters and go home.

Wow. I'm sorry for your loss. How old are you, anyway? I'm in my 50's and can still enjoy a nice game of Asteroids, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Missile Command, and many more. I hope the day never comes when I'm "too old" for having fun.

So not interested in playing arcade games. Haven't been interested in wasting my time in the arcade since I was very young and got over the fascination with blinking lights.
I'm sorry for your loss.

I selected pinball, because there was no ZAXXON.

I think a lot of today's whippersnappers fail to realize how impressive the Star Wars Arcade game was in 1983. I mean you played POV as an X-Wing pilot, shooting at TIE fighters, and then flying down the Death Star Trench. It may not look like much now, but 30 years ago, there was nothing else like it in the arcade.

Here's a taste -
