Oh geeze...I hope I didn't open can worms here with that. I guess I don't know the full story, but from my view it is a Nintendo game boasting Mario, turned mad plumber...with a striking resemblance to his predecessors in DK & DKJ.
Knock-off was the WRONG term. Mario's Reincarnation perhaps? As it was not quite as legendary as 'Donkey Kong' itself (hence the mention in"Best non-classic games" thread) I totally loved the game and played the be-jesus out of it. Surely at least $100, $0.25 at a time. I'm very grateful to be able to play the game finally again, 17 years after my last play at Bodega Pizza!!

Lol you guys have some funny ideas of what is 'non-classic'! Pang? Qix? Jailbreak? Tetris? All classics in my book and most other books I would think.
My fav 'non-classic' is Bomberman World, awesome 4 player action from 1992.

I understand what you are saying but it is so hard to bite ur tongue on the games that you really love...to talk about odd titles that slipped through. Also, when the word 'classic' and 'arcade' game are in the same sentence, FOR ME is a small window of time...like 80-84. This is why I mention Tetris, and all my other screw ups, 720. :-[
Sorry guys...I'm officially done stinking up this thread any further...psssooouwwn I'm out! :banghead:

You're not stinking it up.
There are so many definitions of classic. I guess the technical term is anything up to '84.
My interpretation are the most popular, as I listed in the beginning, the kind of games that are timeless and most financially successful. One day, Golden Tee will probably be a classic. Although some probably consider it one already.
I think people should put down whatever they want, and not quivel about the definition.
Paperboy, by the way, is one of my all time favs, and Arch Rivals.
