don't forget the follow up Billy my man. Hyper Sports - swimming, archery, weightlifting, clay pigeon (skeet) shooting and a couple more which escape me.. oh yeah the gymnastics vault thingy! happy days!

Does anyone remember Gorf? That had a trigger/fighter jet type joystick and you controlled a space ship that I think had a force field around it. I never could get very far on it for some reason and it used to laugh at you "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Space Cadet!" blummin machine! :Mad2:

Great thread More games threads please!

My favourite coin-ops were:

Centipede
Tempest
Defender
Pacman
Galaxians
Crystal Castles
Moon Patrol
Double Dragon
Golden Axe
Virtua Racing

Anyone in the UK... you should definitely check out the GAME ON exhibition, they have some nice old cabinets. Cool to see the original Space War!

Centipede
Space Invaders
Pacman
Ms. Pacman
Galaga

were the ones I played.

Mortal Kombat I & II
NFL Blitz/NBA 2000

Tempest fans... you guys familiar with Tempest 2000 on the Jaguar? Well it seems that Jeff Minter is doing a new version of Tempest for one of the newer consoles (XBox or GameCube I guess)... looking forward to that!

Love all the classics posted like galaga, Asteroids(THE BOMB DIGGITY!), Defender, Star wars BUT:

I *need* to find the real industry sized vidoe game called Star Castle. If anyone has any info please let me know.

Did someone say MOON PATROL??? Damn another one I forgot (note to self, if you can't remember shit, don't start a top ten thread)

What about:

Paperboy
Space Zap
Berzerk
Ye ar Kung Fu
1st and 10

I encourage you all to go download MAME and to play all these great arcade classics. Marvellous stuff (just been playing Star Castle, rdhull!)

How could everyone forget the classic... Burger Time...

:LOL:

IceNine said:

OH SNAP!!!

CarrieLee said:

Challenge me! I love this game. I can spend hours playing this..and Centipedes.

I have a arcade machine of Space Invaders in my garage! Never play it.

ian said:

BULLSHIT!!! You mean its on there--what do i need. Do I need jpoystic or whatever? Im not too comp saavy and NEED this!!!

Guys, it was MS PACMAN not "Miss". And it was "Centipede" not "Centipedes"

Anyway you think you know Pacman? Check out this guy...

http://www.twingalaxies.c...ecord.html

Scary stuff!

Actually I'm just putting the finishing touches to a nice Pacman clone I made ... it was hard to make the ghosts fun but also clever... but not too clever!

rdhull said:

There is an accurate PC emulation of Star Castle (emulators work off images of the original arcade ROMS). If you're interested I can dig it up...

Speaking of which, many, many of these games are now available free on the internet in emulated form. Home computers have gotten so fast that they are now able to emulate these ancient classics without any hiccups!

Ms Pac Man
Donkey Kong
Centipede
Defender
Joust
Pole Position
Space Invaders
Kangaroo
Asteroids
and the best IMO
DIG DUG

ian said:

Note: I never could get MAME to play Star Castle correctly--never could get it to have sound. But there's an actual Star Castle emulator out there that works perfectly.

endorphin74 said:

YEAH!!!

Kangaroo was the goddamned greatest!!!

I loved boxing those fucking monkeys... no offense, POOK.

ian said:

Ian I think this post should be deleted, you are going to cause a flame...
