Ahhh, Twin Galaxies, full of freaks. Like the guy, yesterday, that beat pokemon red in 3 hours. Or that guy that got 896 points on breakout (THATS A LOT). Many records broken and yet, so many games without records. If you find an iteresting thing on there (http://www.twingalaxies.com/) post here!

Ooops... My bad... He is number 18..

Now that is truly something to be proud of. Robotron has always been one of my top three favorites. It's not an easy game by any means, but the two stick controls really pull you in quite a bit more than the normal stick/button setup of the early 80's. Although I could break a 100,000 on it, the vintage game skill measuring stick, I don't remember ever crossing the quarter million mark. My dad loved the game too and I can remember watching him play for quite some time on a quarter while I played the Mrs. Pac machine next to it. Man I loved those trips to the convenient stores.

Ahhh... The good old days.

In the golden age of Arcades, my brother and I use to ride our bikes around town visiting all the arcades, convenient stores, Stan's Vaccum (he also had a card shop and seven pinball machines), and just about any place of business that had an arcade game.

One of my personal fav. from back then was:

Moon Patrol
Gyruss
Galaga
Star Castle
Donkey Kong
Pac-Man
Rally X
Crossbow
Dragon's Lair
Tron

And my all time fav. even to this day... Satan's Hollow

I reall miss those days. It was a time of Saturday morning cartoons and Hubabuba Bubble Gum... and Van Halen...

When the arcades was revived back in the early 90's... My personal fav. was...

Alt Beast
Golden Axe
Shinobi
Street Fighter II
Crime Fighters
Ghost and Gobblins (I know, it was a pre-90's game but I still love it)

Wow... I know I'm leaving out a bunch... I just can't think today....

I miss those days though... *tears*

Sadly enough, I missed out on Discs Of Tron till emulation was possible. I have always lived in a small town... miss out on a bunch.... but I love that game....

Here is something of interest...

A guy in our local area (back in 1989) converted his Commodore 64 into a arcade machine... He only had "Master Of The Lamps" working and it was free to play. If I only had a photo of it.... kind of neat...

"I'll buy that for a dollar!"... lol

I really enjoyed playing that game. The arcade at the mall still has it (I think). Williams also put out "Total Carange"... but I liked Smash TV better.

I haven't played any new arcade games other than the "King Of Fighters" within that last five years.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a few of my favorite arcade games:

Lunar Lander
Space Invaders
Asteroids
Missile Command
Pac Man
Zaxxon - Loved the 3/4 perspective!
1942
Mappy
Popeye
Q-Bert
Spy Hunter - Gotta love the Peter Gunn Theme!
TRON
Yie Ar Kung-Fu
Rygar
Moon Patrol
Jungle Hunt
Smash T.V. - Duh!

And too many more to remember!
