Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Arcade-specific-rules: This is actually a pretty big one now, because I asked the Discussion topic how we wanted to do "Classic" Arcade games and the consensus was along the lines of "you can't define classic"

So to avoid "THAT'S NOT A CLASSIC!!!" discourse itt, I have removed the word "classic" from the title! This is now a fully fledged ARCADE GAMES MOUNT RUSHMORE.

Games must have either been an arcade original or had a widely distributed official port. Must be a real game that existed and was playable by the general public in arcades!

WE ARE ONLY DOING VIDEO GAMES. NO SKEE BALL, PINBALL OR CRANE GAMES. If you want to do a Rushmore for "amusement" games or whatever, you can nominate that. This Rushmore is already going to be competitive enough as-is.
