Subject: Favorite Classic Arcade Games?

Posted by: Eebs
Date: Aug 10 09

Your definition of classic may be "Joust" or it may be "TMNT II: The Arcade Game." Just feel free to share some of your favorite arcade titles.

I love Arkanoid, Centipede/Millipede, Crystal Castles, DK, Satan's Hollow, Ms. Pac-Man, and vs. Dr. Mario. More recently, I've enjoyed Super Puzzle Fighter II.

An old video game from the 70's called Space Zap. I was very good at it.

Grew up with those games. A few favorites:

Galaga
Cyberball
Ms. Pac Man
Rastan
Cadash
Rolling Thunder
Raiden
NBA Jam
Rampage

Many more out there I'm not thinking of at the moment. By the way, you can download all those games onto your computer for free. Not to mention just about every Apple II, Nintendo, Atari, Sega, etc. game that ever existed. You have to love those ROM Emulators. :)

Oh, and the original Mario Bros. game. That was a game that you could be extremely sadistic when playing 2 player. Almost every time friends and I played that game, it would end in a scrap of some kind. :)

Rampage was pretty entertaining.

So was Elevator Action.

There was also Street Fighter, Q*bert, Double Dragon, and of course pong.

Qbert! That was a fun game. How did I forget about that?! I did try that out on the MAME Roms again but with the diagonal motion, doesn't work as well on the computer.

Another game:

N*A*R*C*

Had fun with that one. A quarter feeder, no question. Had good graphics though, same deal as Cadash. A long, involved game that you just pump quarters into. Just like Aliens, Robocop, Vigilante, etc.

Of course, those MAME ROM Emulators.

If any of you feel nostalgic and want to play these games again for free, send me a message. I'll get you set up with those games. All of them. Completely legal (well, legal ENOUGH) and legit. I would be glad to help any of you out. There are THOUSANDS of the old arcade games available to play for free on your computer. Like I said, just email me, I'll help you out if you have any trouble.

Considering the technology these days, there is no excuse to ever pay for any movie, game, TV episode, or song ever again. I know there will be whiners/snitches who pule about potential ethics violations in order to attempt to score "karma" points with a mega-corp who doesn't care about them one iota. Like bringing an apple to a videotaped lecture. Tough luck. It's all out there now. Pandora's box is open and never felt so drafty. The chickens have come home to roost and they find the accommodations just plain peachy! :)

Seriously, though, aside from the clowning around version of a disclaimer in the above paragraph, if you have questions, hit me up. I'll be happy to help you out.

I usually attend a few classic gaming events every year and there's nothing quite like a four player game of Warlords.
