I can think of a few home games that were ported to the arcades: Pitfall 2, Choplifter, and Boulderdash.
I'm more familiar with the Vectrex ports of these games. I was aware of the arcade originals, but I've never seen them. God I loved the Vectrex. and yeah, they were soem great games. Didn't they make Web Warp/Web Wars also? That game was badass. I think Star Castle also made it to Colecovision.

FZII and Woody Pop might work, though. But wasn't FZII released first on System 16 hardware?
Nope. Fantasy Zone was System16 in the arcades first, but the sequel was made for for SMS and then ported to System E.
Armor Attack brings back so many memories. My brother and I used to play it at Circus Playhouse in Hollywood Fl, way back when. Great game.
Star Castle rocks as well. *sob* So many memories....

F-15 Strike Eagle had an arcade game. I remember reading about the game coming to arcades, but I've only seen the game once. The time I saw it was about 2 years ago and the machine was turned off. Bummer!
Nope, but I sure wish it did!Originally posted by Frogacuda

Cosmic Chasm is also unique in that it was one of only a few games in history to be ported from the home to the arcade (it appeared first on the Vectrex).
