Those games you would love to love

Mach3 Cockpit and Time Traveler were games I would love to have loved.

The Magnifier make me immediately ill, when I played them the first time.  Serious puke-arama.

The joystick in Gorf was another of my dislikes.  The physical controls were so slow, as were the Atari Football, but with added friction burns off the trackball.

Game play and presented controls was not a bad thing.  The way you experienced them hands-on were.

I absolutely would've loved to love gorf. I just find it sluggish and space invaders/galaxian/galaga much more fun. If it played alittle faster, I would've really gotten into it, but the one I played felt like there was lag with everymove/ shot.

Defender
 -- or at least, it wasnt' until I was older that I realized the
complex control scheme was part of the challenge.
The Atari 2600 cartridge version doesnt count; that actually
comes close to how I would've imagined the controls to respond,
and it's still a challenging (and fun!) game.


Front line
-- imagine if Robotron or Smash TV required you to push
 two different fire buttons in addition to aiming.  No wonder
I never got very far.  BTW, this one is MUCH better if you
team with a friend on single player, one to control movement,
one to control aiming and firiing.

Remember Sega R360? I think it was afterburner in a giant ball that span upside down hence 360.

The reason I have 'issues' with it is that I never saw a working unit. Most large arcades had it but it was never working. This may have been because it needed its own attendant?

I remember going to Barcelona and there was this massive Sega arcade and even theirs was off!

Every time I saw one, it was working.
