Again:

I voted for Spyhunter...however, I really loved Beertapper, Burgertime, APB, and of course Arkanoid.

indeed.

Even though it's hard to get your quarter's worth in a typical session, Robotron is the best game on your list. Nothing gets your adrenaline ramped up quite like that game. I can't believe I'm the only one thus far to vote for it.

I would also like to add my write-in vote for Elevator Action. It's kind of a cult classic thing for me.

I am too highly suprised by he lack of Robotron votes. That game will fuck you up and make you cross-eyed. Elevator action is an awesome game and I used to play it quite a bit. Shooting the lights out and making it go dark was the bomb along with the cool jump you could do to crush the heads of your opponents. The only reason I do not add it to the list was it was rather easy. It didn't take much practice to get 30 minutes of play out of the game and it was a little slow paced but still an excellent game. Robotron was one game I could never get really good at probably 'cause I'd shoot the family for fun rather than collect points for rescuing them. Elevator action's opening sequence was dope. Elevator action was a "poor day" game for when you had only two bucks. You could play for an hour or two. On days when I got my paycheck for cutting grass at a factory at the then current minimum wage of $3.35 per hour i'd take my $24 dollars and burn it up in Robotron.

off this list Galaga, though Tempest was REALLY close...

but the best video games ever were not released in any arcade but on Nintendo's home systems: The Legend of Zelda series!!!

Until today i had not thought about "Joust" since like '86 or something.
It was a pretty amazing game. Or at least i thought so at the time.

thanx.


"Tron" should be on there though.

agreed, Bagman is #1.
