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!


Mame Golden Tee - what a pile of poo!

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.

i cant remember seeing galaga back in the day either (in australia). yeah, the sounds of galaxians brings me right back (i even started a thread about galaxians bringing me back  :) )

on mame i do play galaga more often though...

Oh, I thought we were talking about how the games were seen now.

Tritoch84:
Street Fighter 2 was lame in it's time, if you were a button smashing idiot.

I don't know how it was where you guys live, but street fighter 2 where I live was a different story. If you buttonmashed, you would have got your butt handed to you. Even today, 2-D fighters take 10 times more skill than any 3-D fighter. I remember these DOA heads that all got owned by a boy that learned he could just kartwheel all day long and won the national tourny.

So, I guess it depends on if you ever got to really *play* the game in the first place.




Halo, most overrated game ever.

Gunstar Hero:
I hate to say this, but TRON.

The arcade TRON was 99% cabinet, 1% game.

That said, I'll still drop quarters into one whenever I see it.  ;)

Also Mortal Kombat was way overrated... and I am a big 2D fighter fan. I just can't see why anyone ever played that game over SFII or Samurai Shodown...

...maybe the blood and violence?  ???
