I remember Street Fighter and Double Dragon always had a dozen kids around them waiting for their chance to play. Also the WWF SuperStars game was quite popular too in the late 80s.

Also in the late 80s and early 90s there was an arcade and pool hall close to a lot of the Jr. and Sr. High schools in Lethbridge. Always a super packed place at lunch. I remember Bubble Bobble being quite popular but it wasn't a game I ever really got.

Arcades were a fun place to go hang out. Sometimes frustrating because all the games were being played and you just didn't get a chance to play. Anyone remember putting their quarter up to reserve their chance to play? Surprisingly people were pretty honest with that process but a few kids would steal other kid's quarters or turns.
