Game Plugs

What platform were arcade games originally compiled on?

Most of the great 80's arcade classics ran on very unique hardware, so I wonder what platform did they use during development and/if they cross-compiled the code when it was done. I mean in what kind of computer did they code those games and I'm specially curious about mid-80's games such as Double Dragon and such.
