There must be games which everybody else seems to rave about but you just dont get it...

please share - but don't forget to put a hard hat on because there's bound to be flak comin your way!  ;D

OK...so here goes...mine is:

Battlezone

ok if your peering though a periscope in a darkened arcade in 1980 i suppose. But is it really worth installing topfire joysticks on your cab to play a game with such basic game play?

I'd say Space Invaders. I tried it again (when I got MAME) and I was baffled how much it actually ... well .. sucked.

a search for a battlezone machine is what brought me to mame, one of my favorite games.  when I built my cab, I didn't put topfires on.  I programmed my 2 eight ways for left forward and back, right forward and back.  to fire i push either stick to the center of the panel.

Street fighter I don't like.

:o WHAT!!! :o

Seriously though, to each his own.  I personally think Space Invaders kicks ass, but then again I played it like crazy back on Atari so I've always been kinda hooked.

But that's just it. I was a great fan when these cabs were around too, but now I tried it again and I couldn't see what I ever liked in it. Of course it has the charm and all, but the game itself didn't do anything for me anymore. I did still like Galaga though. For some reason that (almost similar game I guess) did keep it's fun for me.
