Arcade Games

Postby smithy » Sun Jan 27, 2008 10:21 pm

I have been getting back into MAME a bit lately for a bit of fun.
It's a bit of good fun playing the arcade games you loved as a kid/teen/immature adult :) .

Got me thinking what other peoples favourite arcade games were ?

I'll list 3 that I can't seperate:

Ghost and Goblins
Bubble Bobble
Elevator Action ( a very simple game but I loved it)

Others I enjoyed but don't make the cut are:
Pitfall
Time Pilot
Dragons Lair
Hyper Olympics

What are your favourites ?

I've got a cocktail cabinet with 1942 (currently NOT working properly).

Loved the game as a kid, still love it now, when it works.

Space Invaders
Galaxy
Moon Patrol
Pitfall
Ms Pacman
Donkey Kong

absolutely loved galaga (held high score at Hindley Street Downtown for a year or so circa late 1980's)

also liked phoenix

also had a hand held "scramble" absolutely wicked

and that one where you had a little car and a jump button and a cool obstacle course cant remember the name of that one though...
