Omega Race

Kickman

These two games were favorites of mine at the Short Hill Mall arcade in Oakland NJ back in the early 80s.

 Ninja Princess - Unexpected masterpiece w/ long quest, insane challange, incredible level changes later on.

 Rally Bike - Hyper fast top view motorcycle game w/ great Gfx, cool secrets, and awesome gameplay.

 Speed Coin - Quickly Guide the coins into the Goal without it falling off the platforms to the floor.

 Mad Planets - Need analog and spinner.  Frantic adrenalin rush :)

 Assault - BEST TANK GAME EVER!!!  :)   (need dual trigger joys. many special moves)

 Cosmic Chasm - Excellent Vector shooter

 Loco Motion - Great fast paced action based puzzle game

 Halleys Comet - Great vertical shooter.  Very Hard.  Excellent sound FX.  Nice powerups.

 Off the Wall - (Need spinner)  Cool sideview tennis like game.

I guess I'm one of the "old farts" too since I'm 41 and can remember when Pong came out. I can remember playing Asteroids and thinking this was the coolest thing ever - so when COLORED games came out... :notworthy: :notworthy:

I just posted games that many others from my generation can't remember, so I figured I could call them 'not-so-well-known' -- of course, coming to a forum like this, there probably aren't many games that fall into this category. One guy at work said, "What did you do in this Paperboy" game anyway? Well, duhhhh.....

I had some kids over once and we fired up a few MAME games... Donkey Kong, etc.  The first two comments were:

"He just got hit with a barrell, why isn't he bleeding?"
"You can't kill anyone?  What fun is that?"

Yeah, my 11 year old saw me fire up Yars' Revenge on my XBox 2600 emu.  She watched it for a second, I told her it was a fly, etc.  She kinda rolled her eyes and announced to my wife in the next room, "MOM!  DAD'S ACTING OLD AGAIN!"

That was my favorite game.  They'll never understand.
Welcome to the generation gap.  How it ever hit us is a mystery.
