View Full Version : Your favourite 80's arcade game?
I used to love the Pacman that was like a table. Another arcade that I loved was the Track & Field. My fingers were numb for days after hammering those buttons for hours.
What was your favourite arcade game?

It was and always will be "BattleZone". I could live on that machine for a quarter.
Asteroids, baby! I was the Asteroids champ at the pizza place we went to when I was 7. LOL. Wish I still had those reflexes!
Pole Position was a close second. No wonder I drive the way I do...

thegoldengirlsuk 8-07-01, 09:42 PM Pac Man was definitely my favourite arcade game. I used to have one of those Atari consoles and played Pac Man, Commando, Space Invaders and all other kinds of really basic games which were so hi-tech at the time!

Those table things were cool,wern't they??
The table things were awesome! I can only remember Pacman and Galaga as tables. Were there any other games like that?

There was a Ms. Pacman table game at the pizza place where I hung out as a teen. Hubby says they had a Tetris table where he worked in high school. :)
Wonder who got stuck cleaning the pizza grease off the screens!

Galaga has a lot of sentimental value for me. I wasn't much good at it, but my bf and his best bud would play for hours... me doling out the quarters, naturally :) After I went to college I actually learned to play it myself, but either my reflexes were slower at 21 than at 17, or it was the beer, LOL
I was in Niagara Falls for a couple of days of meetings in early June. Someone's idea of a good team building exercise was bowling. They had this little arcade inside the bowling alley and Bogie became very anti-social when he discovered they had an old Galaga machine in there. They even had the black-light that made everyone's jeans glow. I felt just like a teenager again for a brief moment.
I played all afternoon and ignored my colleagues other than a couple of games of air hockey. :D
ah..that sounds cute..
i would have just had to stand behind you and be your silent cheerleader..
