Title: Best classic ever
Post by: c64rulez on January 07, 2006, 02:39:52 pm: Haven't seen a thread dealing with that issue.
Just thought it would be nice to get some views on it.

I know there are probably other games that should be listed here, but I tried to converge (objectively...)

And I'm just a kid, at 27. The 40 year-olds on the board are really going to let you have it. :P

Tempest.

If it's not Star Wars then it might be Tempest. I thought for about a minute about which one to say and the two choices were Star Wars and Tempest. When it comes down to it, I like Star Wars better because it is so much like what we would imagine being Luke going through that trench, from the graphics looking like the targeting computer to the best arcade controller ever.

Post by: Stingray on January 09, 2006, 10:39:59 am: Yeah, but I'm better at Tempest than I am at Star Wars. In my personal ranking system, that makes Tempest a better game. ;)
