jungle hunt?

I was hooked on Stargate. There was, what, 7 friggen controls?!

Tempest - a close second. It was so abstract.

Galaga took many of my quarters.

In my fantasy drive-in, all of the games on the list would be in the game room, in addition to some old pin ball machines.


What was the name of the game where you shot torpedoes and tried to sink ships?

Seawolf?

Yeah, Sea Wolf. With the periscope. Liked that one a lot.
http://marvin3m.com/arcade is a nice pre-video arcade game
site.

There was also Depth Charge, where you throw bombs off of either side of a battleship...

Remember "SINISTAR"?
That was fuckin' COOL!
The newer "Kung Fu" games and "Fighting" games blew.

Sea Wolf

Bravo!

Depth Charge

I forgot about that one. I lost interest after a few plays. Good idea, bad execution.

I almost bought a Battlezone game 10 years ago. The Wedge tank kicks my ass like a car crash.
Jeez, this may be worth selling some Hot Wheels for. After reading this thread, I am tempted...

I hope a bar near me picks this up! I'll be a steady customer.

i meant moon patrol?

i like jungle hunt for the tr808-style tom riff that keeps playing and driving you crazy. and that you fight aligators.

i meant vanguard?

When I was a kid I was pretty stoked on GORF. "Space Cadet!"

I consider Jungle Hunt to perhaps be the ultimate "chick game" except for maybe ms. Pac Man. I use my younger sister as the model for determining what a "chick" game is and that is basically any game she liked. Jungle Hunt was her favorite. The good thing about chick games is they distract a large amount of people away from the real games. Also I didn't mind my sister coming to the arcade with me because I could hit on her friends. Gorf was perhaps the best of the group of games that included multiple games within one game. Tron is another example and boy did I dislike that game. I mean those stupid spiders and retarded colors. Gorf was pretty good but alas it was rather easy, plus it had that one section that was a direct rip-off of galaxian. Sinistar was the bomb and it almost made my list. I had to narrow it down to 10, it is perhaps 11. Run Coward Run! I am Alive! AAAARRRRGGH!
