REMOVED

Williams made my favorite all time game in Defender, but the nod has to go to Atari for me!  Often flirted with the idea of getting my first tattoo - it would have to be an Atari logo!   :notworthy:

I chose to add Cinematronics to this list, even though they produced very few games, simply because of the superior titles Star Castle, Armor Attack and Rip-Off.  That company doesn't get enough love!

BTW, if you vote for "other," please tell us who it is!

Another great poll ...

I too almost voted Williams, then almost Midway, but looking at my wishlist I see more Atari than anything else ... so Atari it is.

Who doesn't want an original Gotcha cab ... if only for the controls ?  ???

Cheers.

williams... because they made The Game,
the one against which all others pale in comparison.
you know, the one with the two 8-way joysticks...  ;)

their pinballs were pretty good, too.

and konami? hehe, i know from setting up the occasional poll that you ALWAYS forget something! i cant pick a clear favourite although a few have said williams on the strength of two classic games. if i put my mame32 folder in most played order, then the top ten list is

stern- berserk
atari- asteroids
midway-space invaders (yeah, i know. but ive been experimenting with it)
namco-galaga
capcom-commando
namco-galaxian
mitchell-pang
capcom-1942
williams-robotron
sega-afterburner (mostly from experimenting with an analog gamepad, not playing as such)


konami, jaleco, taito and data east are close behind...

Good call on Namco.  Major oversight.  I removed Cinematronics  :'( and added Namco.

You should make it like 3 choices. I am a major fan of Williams and Atari. How does one choose?
You will still see a strong favor prefference if you allow more selections. Can you change it and let everyone rechoose?

2) Williams
3) Midway
