If you had to play for your life - against an unknown opponent - which game would you choose (of the more famous, classic arcade games)?
Write something here and if you have a moment, please click on your response on the poll on my blog. I have listed 16 of the most popular games.
Just wondering what everyone thinks they are good at. I was at college when Pac-Man ruled and yet I could never make my quarter last for too long. I was okay at Track & Field, but some folks ran right by me. If I had to choose, I'd choose Galaga. Win or die.
If you are so inclined, make your choice on the poll...

Had to vote for SF2. I pretty much suck at the rest of those you had up there, especially Donkey Kong.

Yeah, if I ever get down to a death match where my life depends on victory at those games, I'll be in serious trouble.
-
Wow,
Live or die... Have to go with Dig Dug. I'm not really good at ANY particular game, though I played for about 15 minutes straight on Galaga the other day and felt pretty good about it. Dig Dug though, I could at least focus on surviving and not just score, so I would live at least a few minutes more, right?? ::)

The only classic game I'm any good at is Donkey Kong. But I'm not even that good compared to some you see. My high score is around the 365K mark. So if I had to play for my life it would be that game. But what if I was up against either of the two people who already voted for Donkey Kong? Would I be still alive? :scared

I play Street Fighter 2 pretty good. I suck at a lot of games, but I still like to play them anyway.
-
I chose street fighter 2. I think I'm pretty good at it....
However, if i had to stake my life on one game it would be Double Dragon. Double Dragon is my favorite game of all time. I got into Mame to play Double Dragon. Saying Double Dragon out loud makes me want to jump-kick a random person in the face.
-
Rygar or Black Tiger.
-
I picked Galaga.I realize it is your poll and you can do whatever you want, but to my Frogger should have been on there. I still would have picked Galaga, but Frogger stands out to me as a classic more than SFII (Which I suck at :()
-
Had to go with centipede. It is funny, I have it on my cab which has a trackball, but I still think I was better when I played it on my Atari 800 computer when I was a kid, with a classic atari joystick.
-
If I had to play for my life, I would die at any game. I'm not good at ANY of them (love to play, though). I said Star Wars. At least I would have some fun before I died. :)

Asteroids

super sf2 turbo still the only game i've 1 cc'd lol CREDIT UP!!
-
Robotron. I can go hours on 1cc.
-
Scramble,I will destroy the base or die trying!
-
Went with Joust. Today, I'm not as good as I once was, but if my life depended on it, I think I could step to the plate...or die.
Also pretty good at Berzerk and Q*Bert, which I didn't see listed.
DK is my current 'go to' game, but can only score in the 200s, and not consistently.

But could you beat a lich king?

...and then quote "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and then get a perfect score on Pac-Man and then beat Black Dragon on one quarter and then break out of a high security workplace and then...
-
Not on your list, but I would choose Discs of Tron. I have destroyed the MAME high score at Twin Galaxies many times. Just need to take time to record one.
-
Easy choice for me. Timber. I have the Twin Galaxies records on it so I'm pretty sure I have an advantage. :)
I would get my butt kicked at most of the other games that everyone is mentioning.

Thought I seen cowbell's ghost! Is it really you??
I voted for Tetris, out of all the games I think I've zoided on that on slightly more than most...
-
(if you consider it to be a classic game) ultimate mortal kombat 3. my bro and i play competetively almost every night..
-
The ones I'm best at are 1942, Berserk and Galaxian. Of course, there are many people better than me, so if it was a case of live or die, I'd best have my will in order ;D
-
I would have to say Bubble Bobble is one of my better ones.

Haha beat me to it.
@PBj why do you hate on this book now? Every time someone quotes it or mentions it, you always have some smart ass thing to say about it. I dont really care, cause I didnt write it, and I dont know they guy that did, just thought it was kind of funny. Its just a book. ::)

that track and field got a trackball or buttons?
