I liked Joust but I never was very good at it. Frogger was my jam. I routinely would set high scores on it. I wanted to be good at Centipede and Galaxian but never could. I've played all of these on emulators over the years but they just aren't as fun without the original controls (Centipede without a trackball sucks).
The game that could really eat quarters, though, was Guantlet, since it let you continue on by pumping quarters into it during the game. I could easily go through a roll of quarters in an evening playing it with a friend. "Elf needs food badly"
