    Favorite Arcade Games (Back in the Day)

    All this 30th anniversary talk of Pac-Man got me thinking about the "glory days"....

    I was pretty good at Pac-Man but I think my all-time favorite was Centipede.

    Other favs:

    Dig Dug
    Donkey Kong
    Space Invaders
    Defender
    Tempest
    Pirahna
    Super Pac-Man
    Ms. Pac-Man
    Spy Hunter
    Dragon's Lair
    Firetruck (I think that's what it was called)
    Balloon Man (again I think that's what it was called)
    Asteroids
    Donkey Kong Jr.


    Oh, and I can't forget Rygar....I pumped more quarters into that game than probably any other...eventually got to the end.

        I used to like Zaxxon -- mostly because of the early 3-D graphics

                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    I LOVED the old Tron arcade games. I wish like anything someone would have put them online. What fun it would be to play those again!

                        For me it's a toss up between Pacman and Galaga.
