More quarters please...
Hands down, I will never get tired of playing Bust-a-Move. Never. Back in the day, Q-zar (a laser tag joint in Redwood City) was the hot spot for all middle school birthday parties. In the arcade section they had a HUGE bust-a-move display. After I bought it, my brother and I used to spend hours competing at each other back and forth. I ended up bringing it to college my freshman year, and endless hours of procrastination ensued. Besides, can you really say no to an addictive game with cute little monsters?
When I go to an arcade now, I'm almost always with my boyfriend and we usually play a dual-shooting game like House of the Dead or Time Crisis (preferably the first of the two, because Chico likes zombies). At one point, of course, I had a DDR thing...but...thats finished.
In-house games my favorites include the original Super Smash Brothers, Super Mario, and Final Fantasy VII, of course. Ocassionally, my siblings and I bust out Samba de Amigo or Drum Master. We're planning on getting Guitar Hero soon. Hardcore.

I love bust-a-move. I worked at the International House in Berkeley for a while, and it was the one arcade game they had. I became hopelessly addicted. It's the sort of game you can't help but enjoy even if you're in a bad mood.
I'm getting FF VII, which I never actually played (I've played VIII and X). I felt compelled after seeing Advent Children.
Yeah, bust-a-move was designed to become a playful addiction. When I brought it to college, some of my friends used to play it with the speakers up full blast, projecting the saccarine bust-a-move soundtrack across the entire quad. It was fun times :).
FFVII is by far one of the greater stories I think. It was the first video game that got me hooked to gaming. By now, the graphics are a little polygonal, but its still a fantastic game.
