I attribute my love of “obscure” arcade games to the random choices of local bar owners to buy a certain cabinet. They’re not obscure, but I was a Time Pilot ’84 addict and Rip Off early vector graphics game). Definitely not obscure, but a local bar had Ghosts and Goblins and my friend and I got soe good that we could finish it with 1 quarter. Funny thing is, I can’t even get by the first stage anymore on one quarter LMAO. |

boardunkie nailed three of my faves, LadyBug, Phoenix and Nibbler. I would only say LadyBug and to a greater degree Nibbler as rare. I always called Ladybug Pac man for smart people cause you definitely needed to multitask on that one to get the words spelled, match the colors and evade the much faster bug monsters. Always got a huge rush eating the vegetables once all the bugs were out of the pen. Sure my mom wishes I got that thrill every time she served beats...NOT! ;D |

I was just commenting on Ladybug, Phoenix, and Nibbler, another poster came in with those. The first 2 were common arcade hits (they were ported to the Colecovision), Nibbler was a bit rare, but made a slight dent in the arcade scene back in the day. I seem to remember it was on the national scoreboards in Electronic Games mag circa '83. Discovering oddball games that were around when you did the arcade scene but you never got to see/play is one of teh greatest things about MAME. Otherwise, these games would be forgotten forever 'cause they were never big hits.... |
