I now imagine a variant of
Burger Time where you have to be aware of customers' food allergies and gluten intolerance.
It's called '
No-Bap'!
(Yes, I know, I copied the screenshot title, and I at least read some Greek, I know how it's supposed to be pronounced! 
)

Surely the obvious Speccy game that needs to be in an arcade is Penetrator.
SO IT CAN HAVE TWO ******* BUTTONS!
Aside, has anyone hacked it so it simply fires and drops bombs (where it can) when you hit FIRE?

This thread has the code fix and a snapshot to download in the first post. I have the thing somewhere but I can't find it!
EDITED - my link worked.

Great post Denis,
The names make sense apart from JetPac. I guess it means 'Assemble the Snowstorm', and "snowstorm" is the name of the rocket?

Looks like a wholly original spaceplane design there!

I think Chequered Flag would have been shocking in the early years of arcade, around 1980.

Not sure if this is cheating, but maybe Target Renegade? Great two-player action, good music.
Maybe a little too easy to swallow many coins though.
