This is so cool! I loved my atari and I really miss playing games on it!! Pac Man, of course, was the best..along with Missle Command, space invaders, centepide, etc.

------------------
Check ya later-I'm outta here!*Nikki*

Yeah I had all of those too! They were so cool for their time. Of course, they don't compare much nowadays, but I'd still have fun playing them. Even Pac Man with those dopey pellets on the Atari! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Coleco-vision. Everybody wanted one. Hardly anybody had one.

I remember playing Dragon's Lair on cassette tapes on our Commodore 64. I also remember telling my dad that I hated computers and would have absolutely nothing to do with them. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/eek.gif

------------------

Defender Man! That was the greatest of all time. Used to play all weekend! Also notable..

Pac-Man
Gorf
Galaxian
Xenon....Try a tube-shoot
Tempest


The arcades just aren't the same anymore http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/frown.gif

Just thought of a couple other classics I used to love...Pole Position, Dig Dug, and Joust! Cool stuff http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to make reference to this here, but do you all know about classicgaming.com? I read an article in GAMES magazine in February called "Rediscovering the Classics," and discovered that these games are not forgotten.

My favorites, Ms. Pac Man, some of the more complicated double-joystick games like Time Pilot and Robotron, then after that the sillier the better!

Peace,

I remember Dragon's Lair. I couldn't do it though. First level, easy, but the second one was a bit too hard for me. Solaris and Space Harrier were my favs of the 80s games. Oh, I forgot about Bomb Jack. Can't seem to get it to work on our computer though. A lot of them are way too fast too play on the computer now. Bummer! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/frown.gif

I thought I was the only one that remembered Xenon. I found it once in a gameroom in Memorial City Mall and blew something like 30 bucks playing it. Great game!

I always sucked at Missile Command. I was good at Joust. Kiss pinball was my best game. My dad was a big PacMan fan.

I was also a major player of Star Wars and Qbert.

Oh YEAH!!! I remember when Dragon's Lair first came out and it was like, blimey, this is really something else!! (compared to everything else) and after all these years I can still recite the opening sequence off by heart.....(in a medi-eval voice)

...."Dragon's Lair, a fantasy adventure when you become a valiant knight......on a quest to rescue the fair princess from the clutches of an evil dragon"........

I guess you could say I was addicted http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

------------------

Urgh! Q-bert, the most annoying of them all. Although I did pretty well, back then. When I played recently I was lucky to get to the first of the multicolour levels. How far was you able to get, MrMiata? I think we also had Xenon as well, not sure. Mum liked Dig Dug and Crystal Castles the most. Crystal Castles was another annoying one. Those trees are evil! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Q*bert...there's one that drove me completely INSANE! <IMG SRC="http://spiffyentertainment.homestead.com/files/PSYCHO.gif" border=0> I can't remember how far I've gotten on that exactly...all I remember is the damn things just kept changing colors over and over and over again...aaaaahhhh!!! I threw a controller across the room on that one as a youngin' http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Haven't bothered with it in years...

Yes, Q-Bert was hard! I got angry at that one plenty of times! That damn Coily!

And yes, RetroMan! You were addicted! But I was too, so I can't say anything! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Coily wasn' the problem for me it was Q-bert himself, the little bugger he is! You have one or two squares to change and here he comes and changes them back again, Aaargh! Kill kill kill.....

Everything drove me nuts...I got to the higher, higher levels where you got coily, red balls, those two other red goons, the little green guy that changes your square colors....all of it at once! aaaaaahhhh!!

I was about 11 or 12 when pac-man first came out. I made it to the very last level, then got tired of it before it got real popular. The next thing I know, a kid about my age wrote a book about it. He became rich for putting to print what I already knew.

------------------

The only world record I set by playing Super Mario Brothers in 1987 was over 1 million points when I went haywire by grabbing one one up too many in world 3-1.I'm not gonna stop setting and breaking my world record scores anytime soon until the day I die.
