Favorite Arcade Games (Back in the Day)

Awesome list...

...but why is Defender not listed?

That game absolutely rules...I know it didn't have fancy colored graphics...but the game play was rocking badazz...that's why it's my number two classic arcade game after Galaga...

I knew I was forgetting something! I also forgot Paperboy.

Just replace Ms Pacman with Donkey Kong...and we are practically twins!

So no...we don't get tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, hail, snow, etc...but we do have one mean thing once in a blue moon...earthquakes...

Well, I guess inside or out wouldn't really matter in an earthquake

I like many of the games already mentioned. Does anyone remember Karate Champ?

Pacman, spy hunter, defender, stargate, centipede, galaga, galaxian, missle command, asteroids, tron, moon patrol, donkey kong,

Anbody remember Crazy Kong released in 1981? The game is a lot like Donkey Kong. That was one of my Faves. Used to walk down to the laundry mat with my buddy to play it. I would love to own one.

My next fav was Rastan. Came out in 1987 as a conversion kit game. I own one of these. My cabinet used to house a moon patrol.

Another all time fav was Shinobi released in 1987. I own one of these as well.

^ I used to play that at Sylvan Beach! I forgot about that!

I use to love to go to that place. Sadly when I was there four years ago everything had changed. Parking meters all over the place,the old skee ball machines were gone. Those were great. If you found the right machine,you could get anywheres from 20 to 50 points for free.

I worked in a game room so I played a bunch of games but my all time favorite game was Burgertime. It was the one game I could talk crap on and never be beaten. Took me a while to get used to the keypad buttons for the one in our arcade here but I eventually got the hang of it and hit 1 million. I think second place is 79,000. I was never better than average/above average on anything else. That particular game was just the one for me. Think I'm gonna look on ebay.
