OMG....Zaxxon on the 2600 was TERRIBLE


As for me, my fave arcade was/is Tron & Discs of Tron (DOT was originally supposed to be part of Tron, so they count as one )

Defender
Joust
Crazy Kong

Sonic came out in the 80s?

MuthaFunka said:

No, 1991.

I am not going to do the math, but was this the 80's?

I loved Pitfall.

FreeSpirit said:

Yep, 1982.


Who didn't/doesn't?

I wouldn't mind playing a game of it right about now, for old time sakes.

I have not owed a game system in like 30 years.

Contra inspired Guerilla War



I used to love playing Guerilla War with my brother when I was a kid. I used to die first most of the time and my brother would have to carry the torch solo. lol. Occasionally he'd die first, and would go "Oh, boy" because he knew I wouldn't get to the end solo. I proved him wrong one day though. I used to like 2 player games.....but I'm still a Mario fan overall. I guess because I'm not a hardcore gamer.

Ahhh shit!!! I LOVED Pitfall!!! I can still hear his little computer Tarzan scream in my head, it was so, so hilarious...

AlexdeParis said:

That's what I figured. I remember FIRST playing it in 92.

FreeSpirit said:

OMG That was the shit!

LUV ME SOME CENTIPEDE TOO!

Galaga!!!!! I wasted plenty of quarters on that game and it was lots of fun.

FreeSpirit said:

OMG, I did love it!

Wizard of War was a favourite one of our whole family!

This is the one that got me to buy the NES, and I haven't bought another game system since.

Thank you RenHook, you can find so much on that silly youtube, I often forget. Awe, dreaming of the yesterdays... I watch the clip and thought "What was the purpose of this game I loved so much", RUN... keep running, jump... run and run some more, avoid some obtacles... and get a few bonus points along the way.

Then ta da, where were these tips back in the day? So skill is/was needed... Now after all these years, I have now learned there is a purpose.



So many loved this game, as I can see... I spent hours on it and defeated it many times. Maybe we all just want to be winners. ~Smile.

But I still would like to find it and play, it would look so cool on my 60 inch TV screen.

FreeSpirit said:

Buy this:

It has pitfall 1 & 2 as a "bonus feature".

should be cheap as hell now and you can play it on your GameCube or Wii on your widescreen easy!

Not sure about xbox/playstations versions of this tho...

Besides Pacman (I was 2 nd best!! in my hometown and
many other games,this was one of my fav.
Watching this video I can understand now
why my parents where worried that I spemd so much time at the
Lunapark(that's how we called it in our country anyway)
The sound is really disturbing after a while but we thought it was cool..back then

If you mean by "video games" also "computer games" then I have a folder on my HD that contains some 250 80s games.

Oh yeah, Wizard of Wor is great - I still play that one sometimes. I guess my favourite would have to be IK+.



here's the flash version:

Never played it. I refused to buy a new system. Even way back then, I saw the direction the console market was going. I wasn't about to buy a new system every couple of years, and I still wouldn't. At least with PC games I can upgrade my computer components every so often and spend a lot less money.
