Afterburner was my game of choice, with or without the moving sit-down cabinet.

When I was in college, there was an arcade just across the street from the dorms. Being a typical college dorm, almost every weekend somebody would pull the fire alarms… usually multiple times a night.

Usually I hated the fire alarms. But if it happened early enough that the arcade was still open I would react like it was a red alert scramble, run over to the arcade, and play Afterburner until the fire alarm was over.
