i can't remember ever seeing galaga in an arcade over here in the UK when I was a kid. Galaxians was the first and still is king!

I also prefer Galaxians,  partly because of nostalgia, but also because the sound effects are better and it's harder.

Galaga does have more variety though.

Hate to say it, but  I just don't get the entire 2d fighting genre.  zzzzz.  I am sure it's my advanced 39 years, but the appeal alludes me.  

And it's not the violence, I love UT2004.

was thinking of the same exact thing..

most people who dont like 2d fighters are button mashing noobs who cant grasp the games..

Mameotron:
Most people who like 2d fighters are spoiled kids with no appreciation for the history of gaming.

Yes, there was a time when there were no PCs to play your games on.  At this time, I was WRITING my own games on a PDP-11 because you could not BUY games.

A class called "Introduction to computers" was not like, this is a mouse, this is where you click to open word...  It is where you learned Cobol, Fortran, and Pascal.  BASIC was considered a plaything.

You just don't appreciate what a great advancement Pong was.  Or how incredible it was the first time COLOR graphics were used in a game.

Street Fighter is not a new idea.  Chinese Hero and Yie Ar Kung Fu (sp?) are 2d fighters born in the 80s.  Street Fighter and the new generation of 2d fighters are just mindless buttom mashing rip-offs of classic titles, sprinkling in a few lame options to keep kids thinking something new was there.

Any of you out there consider yourselves a 2d fighting game master?  It didn't take you too long, did it?  It took over 25 years for someone (to date, only 1 PERSON) to master Pac Man.
