This one's hard, so many really good Midway games.
I'll go with Pacman Jr. :)
the mazes felt so big with that scrolling screen, it just made a really fun pacman style game.
i loved Omega Race too, that would be 2nd choice..

Baby Pac-Man definitely. Challenging, very enjoyable game that required a lot of strategy and skill.

The machine I dumped all of my allowance money into for years...

Bally Midway's best games were their own. I love Gorf, Satan's Hollow, Tapper, Mr. Domino Man, Timber, Wizard of Wor, and many others.

Pac-Man by default. It's the game that got me hooked on video gaming in general.
But my runners up would be Jr. Pac-Man, Wizard Of Wor, or Xenophobe.

Spy Hunter. I used to tear that game up big time. I know I could throw a vote to Pac-Man or Ms Pac-Man but despite them publishing it, it's a NAMCO game. :) Also if you have a buddy or two to do it, Rampage was serious quarter eating fun back in the day too sticking to arcade games.
Pinball is a whole other matter and I'd have to think about that as you didn't throw William's on there which is them too.

Pac-Man was Namco's baby that was licensed to Bally Midway for North America. Ms. Pac-Man was Bally Midway's game though and a personal favorite of mine.

Without a doubt: Wizard of Wor. I know shocking. My secret's out I'm a Wizard of Wor fan. I still remember the 1st time I saw the game in our local Pizza Hut it was love at 1st sight. However, Spy Hunter deserves an honorable mention though. Very cool games. I can't even imagine how many quarters I spent on either one of those games. Who knows maybe enough to buy Wizard Of Wor on Ebay???

Probably Tapper. That's the game that play the most to this day. Tron would be a close second though.
