Any TERBies still play 'old school' video games?

[ackack]

I used to love Galaga, Space Invaders, Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Galaxian, Twin Cobra.
I liked Burger Time(?) and Joust.
Commando was my best friend and I's favorite game.
Is Bobble Bobble old enough?
There is a Space Invaders in a record store on Yonge Street that you can play.

I D/L mame and a bunch of games about 6 months ago; It was the most frustrating night of my life...I still suck at most of the games. I figured after playing 4,000,000 hrs of FPSer's I would find them a sinch...nope!!


My favs are:
asteroids
robotron
targ
donkey kong
street fighter
karate something?

Try Goal for NES! hard as hell, but love that game! And Roger Rabbit was good too!

Battlezone

Play it on my laptop via my video projector. Turn the lights off 12 foot screen you cannot beat it! Dream come true for a kid that played the game in the 80's for hours, all over the city. I had the second highest score in the city over a million. There was this guy that would do over 2 million, the game would last for 2-4 hours. Drove video game operators crazy.

That's nothing. I have bought exactly one video game in my lifetime - PONG.

Would that be the newer 5.25 floppy version, or the original table-top model?

 

[frankcastle]

I have all the retro games disks for the ps2 highlights would be bubble bobble, robotron, ghosts n goblins, 1942, mk2, sf2, final fight.....

Klax is addictive.... it's the 90s and it's time for klax..... what a weird slogan

smash tv, mercs and total carnage are good for blowing off steam

I also still have a nes, super nes, genesis (can't find the games.... must be in a box somewhere), ps1.

Can't go wrong with contra, nike tyoson's punch out, anything with mario (kart games not included)

Elevator Action. Made it to level 8 (over 120 000 points and the screen at that level had a greenish hue). Action was too fast to deal with and I died about 2 floors down. But the thrill and the rush of seeing my little man get into the getaway car when he successfull made it out of the building at the end of level 7 - was right up there with the thrill of winning the City football championship the next year.

This is all like 20-25 years ago and it's still a fresh memory. Bizarre. The weirdest thing is that I knew even that night, that no one else on earth would give a rat's ass. But I got my name on the masking tape on the game showing the highest score (my name was already up there with a score of about 84 000). But it was my little memory to cherish. The arcade is still there but it's been about three different stores over the past 20 years.

I also have a warm spot in my heart for Star Castle. It was almost the first ever video game.

Don't play games anymore though. I've never even owned a PlayStation 1.

 

[Duckman]

Robotron, Joust, Sinistar, Tempest... ah, the memories!

 

[karth]

Balloon Fight.
Elevator Action.

Two of the greatest games everrrr.

 

[dondada]

memories...

but a quick question...does anyone remember the name of a game that was similar to galaga...a little bit newer and faster...but had the ships come out the edge of the screen but you could fire in a circle around them...they would come out in the same kind of formations as galaga but more in the center???

i spent some serious coin on that in the arcade...and can't remember the name...

 

[stever]

Loved Gauntlet....

Elf shot the food...

Wizard needs food... badly.

The sounds of death stinging the character still haunts my brain.

 

[drlove]

Anyone remember Atari's "Adventure"?? One of the very first quest games. It was my favorite.

 

[alexxxis]
