I still play a bit cause I remember loving it, but it really is one of the more repetative and boring games out there. --- End quote --- Thats the thing... it brings you back to a time when things were more simple for you. Sometimes I feel kind of silly explaining to the "normies" (a.k.a. people who aren't in the arcade scene) my hobby, and to escape my embarassment I quickly play some Ms. Pacman. |

I agree, there are quite a few games I remember with fondness from my childhood, but when I re-play them now, don't remember why I liked them, but there are some classics that really hold up (like bubble bobble!) |

Yeah, it's real name was Skankies (that wasn't a nickname, but if it were, it would have fit). It's been gone for a long time now, it's an apartment complex now, but every time I pass by I get a hankering for some penny candy, bubble bobble, and some of that stale gum from Garbage Pail Kids. --- Quote from: leapinlew on November 30, 2006, 12:39:04 pm ---Skankies? Really? My first favorite is Galaga followed closely by Mario Bros. These were games that I were actually good at and didn't just pump quarters into. My first favorite Pinball game is Firepower. Awesome Pin. I remember how surprised I was when I saw Multi-ball. --- End quote --- |

I bet it does. |

Hmm. . . I think the very first game I ever "needed" to play when I was little was "Invaders from Outerspace" http://www.arcade-classics.com/gameroom_pix/invaders/ That and "Sea Devil" http://www.marvin3m.com/arcade/sseadev.htm Both electromechanical games. :) |
