I recently added a new full-sized stand-up arcade game to my collection. I only had room for one more, so I've made a point to keep that spot open in case one would fall into my lap. That wasn't going to happen so I began shopping around recently.
Anyone want to guess what I got?
My previous machines were Centipede, Tapper, Millipede, and Crystal Castles.
I just realized my arcade page needs an update.

Here's a clue - my previous 4 games had something in common.

There's a band named after Crystal Castles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Castles_(band)
Anyway, my guess is Missile Command.

If it isn't Missile Command, my guess is Marble Madness.

Re: New arcade machine
Oh, I just noticed that Tapper doesn't use a trackball. Does it have an analog joystick? I think that Missile Command is still the obvious answer, but if all four machines have analog controls, whether with a trackball or not, that makes Tempest a likely choice as well.

Re: New arcade machine
I'd usually guess something like Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga. But based on your clue -- which I'm going to (mis) interpret to mean non-traditional controls (i.e., not a standard joystick) -- I'll go with Asteroids.

Re: New arcade machine
You guys know me well! Tempest and Missile Command are definitely two I would have gone for. However, once I went to check out a Missile Command for sale and I was surprised how small the cabinet was - not very imposing.
You guys are definitely on the right track, getting my hint about the controls. Asteroids was a great guess. But nope. Keep guessing.

Re: New arcade machine
Since Warlords is a non-joystick game and likely right up your alley, I'll guess Warlords.
