Hmm, this one is hard, there are so many here that I love, but I chose Super Mario Bros, followed closely by Shinobi. I added Space Invaders even though it was a '70s game because most people consider it '80s.

hey! What happened to my promised Q ?

I picked Scramble followed by Shinobi & Star Wars.

Hey Creeps, I did Q last week, it is on the thread somewhere.

Shinobi... I was addicted to that one for a good stretch :gamer:

super mario...hehe , gosh that was like the game that changed video games, i remembered playing that one for hours and hours especially bashing those bricks up whiched looked so kool:)

Star Wars. I thought that game was so cool, it wasn't like any others in the arcade where I went to. And it was one of the few games at the time that had voice sound.

"Look at the size of that thing!"
"The force is strong with this one"
"We lost Artoo!"

Shinobi - boy did I play this one a lot! Star Wars and Space Invaders definately deserve a mention aswell!!!

Spy Hunter. Still love playing it & the 2 new games are just as fun

Super Mario... Space Invaders & Simpsons too.

I have to vote for Sinistar

Sinistar and Stargate would also be appropriate here

Was I the ONLY one in the 80's that played Star Castle ? ;)

Space Invaders for me.

Have to go with Spy Hunter.

Hm... some good choices there. I'd have to say Spy Hunter, with Star Wars and Scramble coming in second.

I do remember playing Star Castle, but it gets frustrating after a few minutes.

I used to like that game Strider. I sucked shit at it, and used to get pissed off everytime i lost :argh:

But ½ the fun of arcade games was being a sore loser :lol:

I voted for Space Invaders, although Super Sprint was really good.
