The most underrated arcade games imo: Klax, Super Hang-On, and most-of-all, Galaga 88, which just rules in every possible way
When I was a kid I got addicted to a Packrat machine but I haven’t ever seen one since I was 10, nor have I attempted to MAME it (so I can keep the positive memory intact)

It seems consensus and cult-classic both that Medieval Madness is the greatest pinball game ever (and is fairly uncommon), I never saw a machine til I was in my 30s and it was as terrific as they said, I found a local machine afterward and played the shit out of it
I think it’s Wreck-It Ralph that very cleverly has a MM machine displayed in the arcade, tipping their hat to all the pinheads

I'm going to dissent on galaga88 based on this mame exhibit -- this is an unforgivably hard game!https://archive.org/details/arcade_galaga88
Maybe there are dipswitches to crank down the difficulty level?
