The Top 5 Arcade Machines for the Non-Gamers

This one's for all of the arcade fans who have significant others who are not into video games. It's tough trying to convince somebody you love to love your hobby, especially, one that takes up as much space as arcade machines do.

The best thing to do is purchase games that everybody likes. These are the games that anybody can play. You don't need to have the sharpest instincts or reflexes in the world to play them. Its instant fun the moment you play it. Basically if Grandma can play them, you know you're golden.

So, here are the top 5 arcade machines for non-gamers:

5) Burgertime - A cuter version of Pac-man. A joystick and one button. I even remember playing this game against my grandfather when I was really young. After 30 seconds, you get the gist of what you're supposed to do.

4) Space Invaders - Simple gameplay. Just move the good guy from left to right and shoot at the aliens. About a million video games copied this formula. There was a reason. it works, for everybody!

3) Frogger - No Buttons, just a joystick. You're moving a frog across traffic and jumping onto logs. Is there anything more universal?

2) Q-Bert - Once again no buttons, just a joystick. Take the cute little character and jump all the squares and avoid the bad guys. No instructions needed. Just play!

1) Pac-man - It's obvious this was going to be number 1. It's the most played game in the history of arcade games. Every single person on earth knows how to play Pac-Man and it's still a blast to play.
