When in the UK I used to be ace at Hard Drivin'. In the end I could play for three quarters of an hour or more on one credit whilst my mates poured their money into the fruities. Later, when I lived in Munich I found an arcade which had Hard Drivin' 2. Played on that a lot until I discovered the arcade also had porno booths. This proved too much of a distraction and ended up playing in those instead

Other games I enjoyed were Ghosts n Goblins, Galaxians and Xevious, but wasn't so good at those

Moo! .

That game had quite a few Easter eggs - the best was the race against the Phantom Photon. I mainly raced the stunt track as that was the quickest lap.
