I hope you are smart enough to realize that I am joking, without having to ask.

Well played

I had a blast with Spin Master Neogeo at some unknown arcade back in the day. If that's unknown enough.

With it being close to Halloween, I've got one that is a bit obscure and creepy...
First up, Chiller A sort of first person shooter that's horror themed.

Wish more of Locomalito's games made it to an actual arcade. :) 8BitKiller would be just perfect.

Wonder if this one game inspired any of those early NG torture games hmm... definitely an obscure title!

Oh man, there are a ton of great Unknown games. by great, I mean they are mind blowingly bizarre or horrible.

Pulirula is a poorly translated game by Taito back in the 90s, with really bizarre level design choices.

Boogie Wings made by Data East, who make pretty much all the best absurd arcade games. This one is like a horizontal shooter where you can fall out of your plane and mount another vehicle/object and continue fighting.

Ganbare Ginkun which is like Wario Ware on acid. The games are nonsensical and fun.

Trio the Punch: Never Forget Me. . . is an appropriately named "beat 'em up" which you will not be able to forget. In this video I linked, you actually fight Colonel Sanders who then turns into a chicken.

Lucky & Wild

Used to play it when I was really young. One player drives, the other shoots.

If only I could remember the name...it was a fishing arcade game I played when I was a kid. I remember catching a swordfish when I was a kid and I was so freaking excited about it.

Re-Volt: The arcade game. Finding images or the machine itself is so elusive, you thought it's a myth. Pic related is from the Re-Volt Live forums, but most of these images were lost due to them using Imageshack or Photobucket.

I dunno, I was born in the late 90's so finding a classic arcade game is hard. Especially since arcades games are hard to find these days unless it's Pac Man. There was this shooter with FMV graphics, like Terminator 2 Arcade graphics but more refined, don't know the name though. I guess it doesn't count. There was another shooter I can't remember too, but it was modern considering it was a rip off of Deadstorm Pirates. I do remember it took place on a tourist site and graphics glitching out in it though, also it was distributed by SEGA I think. Clearly this question is for 90's kids.

Super Mario Bros.

My local arcade used to have one of those.

No one played it and the screen was burned-in as fuck.

Oh goodness this game is so ridiculously fun. The best is when you can actually play this with another person.

Growing up, the ones I wish more people knew about and saw more cabs of were Virtual-On, Capcom's Dungeons and Dragons Mystara duology, and Ehrgeiz.

Cloud and Tifa at the arcades in '98 was so hype.

My local laundromat has one of these, along with 1942 & Pac-Man.

I don't think SMB is as common of an arcade game as 1942 and the iconic Pac-Man.

Then again, not as common as Ninja Baseball Batman.

nah, i got to experience bubble/puzzle bobble as a kid since the machine was kept around until the late 00s
and i had a namco arcade collection on PSP and 360

Lucky you. Though arcade games are hard to come by where I live unless they're in a gaming collection or you pirate them. There was a 80's/90's cafe with old arcades games though. I would have mentioned a game from that place, but everyone knows about X-men, Mortal Kombat II, Street Fighter II, Ghost and Goblins, Q-bert, Simpsons Arcade (a favorite of mine,) etc.
