Best Arcade game ever... - Page 5

I don't have time to read all the other responses to this post, so please excuse me if my response is redundant.

The answer is DEFENDER. It could not be improved upon. The controls required a lot of dexterity, and the game itself was excellent.

I hope all of you youngsters can go to some old arcarde somewhere, where the owner knows what's what. Maybe he's left DEFENDER on the floor, back behind all of the basketball games and games where you karate kick a bunch of ninjas.

Go there, find the DEFENDER machine. Bring a lot of money, and have a few hours put aside.

Then you will know. Yes, you will know.

Did everyone forget Arkanoid, or didn't people think it was as badass a game as I did?

Sure, I love Galaga, but Arkanoid was a game worthy of mention.

Galaga is my number one.

Time Crisis 2, I used to go to the movies 2 hours early, just to play it.

this isn't an arcade game, per se...

but the Atari 2600's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was one of the first puzzle games I've ever played (a la MYST)and took my child prodigy mind a month to solve...

that really got my attention...I still play it sometimes for the hell of it on an Atari emulator. I'm gonna go with that.

Arcade - Donkey Kong....many a child's allowance spent on that and DK Jr.

Oh my god, Area 51. Don't get me started.

In my usualy venture at the sports bar after church on sundays, I'd play that damn game every time. Got to a point where I'd try to beat it on 1 credit. Sickening.

What an awesome shooting game.

I got so good at that game when I'd play with my friends I'd stand as far back as the gun allowed and use my left hand and I would still get the slide bar all the way to my side.
