I loved a little game called WIZARDS OF WARLOCK...kinda obscure, but me and my
friend played it endlessly.

Other than that...

All the PAC-MAN games
CENTIPEDE
ASTROIDS
DEFENDER

good times...
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Do you guys remember Dragon's Lair? I could NOT for the life of me figure that game out! It seemed impossible to play...you'd put a quarter in and basically couldn't control anything...it was like watching TV... lol

Don't remember it...but it wouldn't have gotten too many of my quarters/tokens...lol
I remember this arcade at the mall used to give 10 tokens for a dollar. This was back when
the games only used one token. ALL DAY LONG at the mall, for only $5! woot!

That was the coolest feeling, that people would stand and watch you play the game.
I was a pressure player too! I played my best when folks would gather 'round...

YES! That's the one...it really was a two player game...you could get back to back
with your partner (being careful not to shot each other lol) and kill everything on the
screen until the Wizard would come out and the screen would flash! haha.

I actually learned how to beat the game one one credit (can't say one quarter because the frickin thing really was 50 cents! mad)

How did I do it? Mostly I spent way too much money playing it...plus some tips from some gaming mags of the day.

God, what a waste that was. Not my best moment. confused
