Bagman is a particular quirky fave of mine of which a worker keeps eluding me.
My arcade days are primarily 1980-1988 and yes, most of the vertical games had disappeared by about 85, not a Galaxian or Pac-Man to be found in main arcades in Blackpool - all in back-street cafes or the upstairs area of a sea-front establishment near some manky dodgems and probably been shovelled into a generic cabaret by then.
Faves of mine are
Mr Do!
Gyruss
Pac-Man
GORF
Many happy memories
Oh yeah, Bagman is a great game !. I love the way they used the speech synth for sound effects, particularly effective with the pickaxe noise.
Space Panic is another favourite of mine, even if it does get impossibly hard very quickly

I've only played DoDonPachi out of that lot. I will have a look at the others, thanks!
You have some seriously fun times ahead!
There is also Dodonpachi resurrection and dodonpachi saidaiouhou which are outstanding imo, and esp ra de is decent.
