How can anyone dislike Star Wars?
Fantastic cab, it's Atari, it's a Vector and it's a film tie-in - that's a full house in my book! I've seen more people queue to play that than anything when they were new and in the late 80's.
No-one had better mention The Empire Strikes Back.... I like that more than Star Wars actually....
Oh and I'll say Defender because I suck at it!

I'll agree the cabs are cool due to the controller, but the rest of your reasons are bunk for it being a good game
There are a whole swathe of classic games I find dull nowadays, but in the past they've been enjoyable and they're still worth the odd credit. Not so with SW. It may be popular, but I've never liked it!

It is surprisingly easy.
Fantastic cab,
If you say so.
it's Atari,
Big Deal.
it's a Vector
Outdated, in other words.
and it's a film tie-in
The biggest minus point of them all.

2 games that spring to mind for me are Street Fighter 2 and Zelda Ocarina. Especially the latter, it's fecking boring
Despite me being a Starwars fan (ESB was good but i'm sh*t at the game,way harder than SW) i'm not keen on Return Of The Jedi
When The Starlight Rooms (my local arcade in Leeds) got the game in (after many weeks of the arcade OP telling me and my mates that its was coming soon) I were very disapointed with the outcome
..should have been another Vector game imo (Atari did ESB as a Vector and that came out after ROTJ) instead of a Raster game...shame really as a ROTJ Vector would have been a great game imo

Not this old chestnut again,
It was the only game making money at the time, so thats why non earning games were converted.
just about every other game developer showed 0% imagination in trying to counteract its popularity so just tried to copy it, badly in most cases..
No other arcade game after it came close to capturing the imagination of the public.
As far as the £1.00 "propcycle" type cabs goes, i totally agree!
I'll stick another vote in for pacman, love the icon that it is but its well boring imo....

I never ever got Pac Man. I don't like most of the combo-move beat 'em ups. I don't really like Outrun, but strangely I do like Road Blasters.
I can see why people might not like Star Wars or ESB but the points that have been made about the gameplay in support of their dislike mostly match the reasons I like them And I'm not sure why, but colour vector games seem to have something about them that either makes me willing to try a bit harder to get into them (actually 'feeling' how a game plays is crucial to its longevity for me, and necessary to get me hooked) or they naturally mesh with what I like in a game.
Or maybe they're just pretty and I'm simple

Seems like most of the dedicated cabs I own are on this list somewhere
BITD I remember seeing, but never really playing the following 'classics' though I'd really like to play them again now to see if they do stand up.
I can't say that I can think of an arcade game that I actively dislike.
Defender
Star Wars
Tron
StreetFighter 2
