I'm kind of surprised DoDonPachi wasn't on there. Also, Doom seemed really out of place.

Honourable mentions: DoDonPachi, Giga Wing, Astro Blaster, Tac/Scan, Space Duel, Time Pilot, Smash TV, Flying Shark, Mars Matrix, Asteroids on the VIC-20 by Simon Munnery and loads more.

That list doesn't make much sense.

namzep · « **Reply #5 on:** October 22, 2004, 06:17:46 pm »

That list sucks. Galaga's only ranked 18. It's easily Top 5 and Galaxian is not nearly as good yet is ranked higher. And, I agree that Doom shouldn't be there in the list.

Apollo · « **Reply #6 on:** October 22, 2004, 06:43:26 pm »

Galaga at 18! Some kind of joke?
Juno First is ranked way to low as is Phoenix.

SirPoonga · « **Reply #7 on:** October 22, 2004, 09:33:23 pm »

Rez is awesome, but I am suprised it made number 5.
That's a really screwed up list.

am i the only one here that prefers Galaxians over Galaga?

i can't remember ever seeing galaga in an arcade over here in the UK when I was a kid.

Galaxians was the first and still is king!

Raiden? Come on!

Trenchbroom · « **Reply #12 on:** October 27, 2004, 11:15:28 pm »

Yes, and no Toaplan/Taito goodness either. Slap Fight?

No Gunsmoke either...tsk tsk tsk.

They got two things right. #1 is Robotron, Robotron now, Robotron forever, no debating it. And they included Star Force, which is probably the most overlooked classic schmup of all time.

Moon Cresta? WTF?

Apollo · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2004, 01:01:18 am »

Star Force rules baby.

Vicious · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2004, 02:10:45 am »

No love for Space Dungeon, huh?

Dave_K. · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2004, 03:51:24 am »

Since when is Rez considered "retro"

SOAPboy · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2004, 04:33:19 am »

Galaga far outshines Robotron. Galaga should probably be seated one. Robotron is no better than 4 or 5.

LOL, I bet you never played Robotron in an original cabinet. If you have, then you'd know why it should be #1. Galaga can't even compete when it comes to the adreniline rush you get playing Robotron. Unfortunally most people here only play the mame versions of these games.
