That was THE game.

And "Ghosts and Goblins" and "Ghouls and Ghosts" were great.

Oh yeah...and "Discs of Tron." The 2nd Tron game really...it was always 50 cents so I never played until I got the emulated version...great fun!!!

Shit, I thought I was the only old-school gamer on this site ...

1. TRON (for obvious reasons)
2. Ms. PacMan/Pacman (possibly the coolest game ever invented)
3. QBert (#@!%*)
4. Bubble Bobble (underrated classic)
5. Burger Time
6. Astrosmash/Space Invaders
7. Joust (I used to ask to go to Pizza Hut just to play this)
8. Donkey Kong and sequels
9. Rampage! (Lizzy and George rule!)
10. Lode Runner

Tron have you checked out the new Tron game (to coincide with the new movie launch). Looks pretty sweet!

frogger. best road-kill based video game ever

1,) Pitfall
2.) Wonder Boy III

Bubble Bobble rules. Especially the sequel.

I am safe...for a moment there I thought you were going to say marble madness...you know how I feel about that game.

How about Bust-a-Move?

Just did an official update / clone of Puzzle Bobble (actually, Busta-A-Move) for digital TV quite recently.

Loved

Frogger

Dig Dug

Pitfall

Spy Hunter (that tune would stay in my head all night)

Asteroids
Punch Out

There was also a game that was a fantasy game - dragons, dwarfs and things - and I used to play that at the arcade way too much... I can't remember what it was called. I wasn't very good at it.

AzureStar said:

PUNCH OUT was the SHIT!!!

"Body blow... body blow..."

I agree Ice. But Mr. Sandman used to creep me the fuck out. And Mr. Macho Man is a sissy!

TRON said:

Glass Joe
Piston Hurricane
Bald Bull
Kid Quick
Pizza Pasta
Mr. Sandman

These were the guys from the first one... I still remember how to beat these schmucks!

Check this link... it is the best!!!

Pizza Pasta always cracked me up...he would get pissed off and try to go nuts on you but then you could trap him in a daze such that you could just keep hitting him with lefts until he collapsed!

Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! He's down for the count!

I also liked the way Mr. Sandman was the world champion but he was a total pussy!

Moonbeam said:

In that case, if you haven't already, get yourself a Gameboy Advance. Then get yourself a copy of Bubble Bobble Old And New, you will not regret it. Mobile Bubble Bobble, any time, any place any where, life has never been so complete.

If we can talk about Nintendo games too, then I must add the Zelda series, the Megaman series, Rampage, Excitebike and Punch Out!

Rampage and Punch Out were both arcade games first.

That's right!

MR. DO!

Way under-rated and MUCH better than DIG DUG (that other, more famous digging game), IMHO.
