Favorite all time arcade games - Page 3

**Lzen** · 06-23-2005, 09:51 AM

The NES games thread the other day got me thinking. What are your top 5 all time arcade games? For those younguns, those are the games where you would have to put in a quarter (or more sometimes) to play a game.

My list goes something like this:

1.Tron
2.Donkey Kong
3.Bosconian
4.Pac Man
5.Gauntlet

Gorf (Had high score for over a year at our local arcade)
Galaga
Galaxian
Joust
Robotron

I could play forever on those games.

Gauntlet

Pinball is still better than anything though.

I lived in Belton, Mo. during the early to mid 80's. There was a 7-11 with a small arcade inside, 4-5 games. I spent ALOT of money on games, Big gulps and Nachos...

I lived with a buddy when I was about 15-16 and there was a convenience store just around the corner. Spent a lot of time there playing Double Dragon and Road Blasters.

I don't remember the name but I used to love the foot sweep move. It was nearly indefensible.

I ruled at Galaga!

and I think that 2 joystick game was just called "Karate" or something like that

siberian khatru · 06-23-2005, 12:42 PM

Galaga. It's the only one I still play when I see it somewhere.

I'm not that great at it, but it's a ton of fun (kind of like sex).
