Favorite all time arcade games - Page 4

**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

BTW, I found some good ones that I had forgotten about. Karate Champ is on here. Also, Wizard of War and Zaxxon. Some of the links don't work, some do.

Edit: Karate Champ link on this site is broken. Sigh.

Pong and Q-Bert.

1. Galaxian. Best game ever. I could kill an afternoon with a quarter.
2. Space Duel. Best two-player game ever. Similar to asteroids, but with two players working as a team.
3. Defender/Stargate. I was never very good at them, but I liked them.

kcfan88 · 06-23-2005, 06:03 PM

Galaga was the best! followed closely by stargate. I'd be rich today if those two games were never invented...

I remember Afterburner! It sucked when you crashed! The frickin' stick would vibrate really hard.

SCTrojan · 06-23-2005, 07:34 PM

Missile Command ruled. I also played Space Invaders, Donkey Kong and Frogger.

I'm gonna have to go that site for old games.

1. Tron

3. Sinistar
4. Galaga

I'm surprised no one else mentioned Sinistar. That game was the shit.
