Gauntlet was pretty good...nothing I was really addicted to though
I remember once in the arcade at the mall, one of the machines were open so me and a couple friends got to play for free for quite a while

Hah! Yep, I remember a few times when I was gaming and they would come to take the change out. Since they broke my concentration, they usually gave me a few free credits. Always thought that was cool of them.

I used to go around and hit the start button on all the pinball machines until I found one with free games,you'd be suprised how many people would walk away and leave games on the machine.

That was the one where you climb up buildings right? It was kinda like 'Spider Man' for Atari...I actually forgot the name, but now I know....I'll have to see about grabbing it for MAME

Yep! That was the one. People were trying to bop you on the head with flower pots and closing windows on your hands so you would fall. Pretty fun!

I think 'alt' and 'ctrl' might be two of the buttons...could be wrong...never actually tried using the keyboard except for punchout (it's easier than a controller for that game). You can change the buttons to be whatever keys you want on the keyboard....that's one of those little extra features I was talking about before

Try beating it with each different character too
Wow...one credit beating that game? Now that's quite the challenge indeed!

The dwarf is actually pretty good! He wields that axe with lightning speed.....useful against skeletons
