While playing some old favorites on MAME, I realized that back in the 80's these games consumed huge amounts of my quarters. Thanks to MAME, I can now put in a thousand credits if I want to, and go through the game without any financial worries. Yet, I can't help but remember the many dollars in quarters and tokens that I pumped into the slots of my favorite coin-ops.

During one particular trip to the arcade, I spent $5+ on Golden Axe II: The Revenge of Death Adder. I just had to beat that game and no amount of quarters was going to keep me from doing it.

I still peep into arcades where people pump the slots of Capcom fighting games with a steady flow of money. I once saw a line of people waiting for the sticks of Marvel vs. Capcom 2.



What's the most you've ever spent on a single coin-op game in one visit to an arcade?
