The original IREM horizontal shooter, R-Type from the arcade. I would think that arcade operators loved this game, as the difficulty is quite high, so making good progress would require feeding the machine plenty of quarters (or whatever your local currency was at the time).

U.N. Squadron - Atari ST [034] PlayThru
UN Squadron, or Area 88, as this title is known as in Japan, is a horizontal shooter, originally written by Capcom for the Arcade, and ported by US Gold to the Atari ST. For the uninitiated, Area 88 is originally a Japanese Manga series, and later a few Anime series. Only Capcom's arcade release had the name change to UN Squadron, while the other mediums kept the original title with their US releases. Also of note, the manga was one of the earliest translated manga releases in the US.

Double Dragon - Arcade [003] PlayThru
The arcade original Double Dragon from Technos is the seed to many sequels, some good, and some bad. A title that has seen ports created for numerous computer and console systems from the 1980s, and even to the latest generation systems. This is the birth of a fighting franchise that was able to entrench itself with gamers for just over 30 years, and still lives on today.
