Best Arcade Game

  1. Preferably the early versions that were ww2 based :)
     
  2. Favourite quote from my son: Call Of Duty in space is going too far!
     
  3. Anybody remember the brilliance of Rob Hubbard on the Commodore 64? The tunes he could get out that 64K box were unreal :)



     
  4. I think the 64 was the first device to feature recognisably human speech in games.

    Impossible Mission was an early example of this - "Stay for a while ... stay forever! Mwahahahahah"

    C64 had the best sound chip of the day, 8-bit in all its glory.

  5. ditto Battlezone, pub landlord would come and tell me - sorry time to turn the power off after 2 hours plus game.
     
  6. The sit down version of Star Wars on Broadstairs and Margate seafront. Not forgetting the Lido in Cliftonville where my brother lost many a school hour clocking it! Looking forward to 'The Division' next month (xbox one).
     
  7. Phoenix, or Froggit.
     
  8. I used to like those 'coffee table' versions as well (I have a mate nr Cliftonville)
     
  9. I LOVED MOON PATROL!!!
     
  10. In an arcade it was "Gauntlet". On a console the original Mario kart or bomberman.

  12. Road Rash!
