    Wild Gunman is a classic, as is Duckhunt, surprised no one mentioned them.

    Batman Return of the Joker looks amazing too.

    Marble Madness is solid as well.

    The label says it eliminates nearly all friction and careless usage can cause Freudian slips.

    .

    Ordinarily I'd assume you're kidding. On the other hand:

    "The game also dispenses cards that rate players on their "sexual behavior", and for players who perform exceptionally well the machine will dispense a small plastic trophy in the shape of a pile of feces." - Wikipedia

    I think someone needs to ask the VGA if they grade 'em. :pac:

    "96 RATING VGA RARE PLASTIC BOONG-GA BOONG-GA IMPORT REAL PLASTIC FECES FAECES POO TROPHY THROPHY JAPANESE RARE L@@K!!!1"
