Mine was Full throttle.
I preferred adventure games though - like The Hobbit, Gremlins and the rest. |
i rember freddy hardest
i have just about every single game mentiond ont his thread so far lol you people should look into MAME arcade emulator and get yourself sum ROMS it really is just like playing the real thing, especialy (sp) when you buy a controller such as this to play them with www.xgaming.co.uk http://www.xgaming.co.uk/images/newi...twoplayer1.jpg |
MAME32
http://www.xgaming.co.uk/images/mame32s.jpg i have 3500 mame roms on 8 cdr`s, i was up to date a few years back but im probably at about 95% now as every release has another rom or 10 supported for it |
mine would be
afterburner, out run, paperboy, and of course the best shoot em up ever.......R TYPE!!!! i think my entire childhood was (mis)spent learning how to defeat these games. space harrier needs a mention too!!! |
sorry i missed the second page.
come someone explain what MAME is and ROM? i keep downloading them on my ipaq, but are not sure what to do with them. i have an arcade shell i was going to turn into a MAME emulator, however it all looks very complicated on the software side? is it? |
mate i was going todo the same project, allthough im collecting parts very slowley
the reason why i bought the xgaming controler is its allready config`d to work with a pc, and it uses real arcade buttons and such, which gets rid of a massive part of the MAME/cabinet instalation MAME is a arcade machine emulator, a ROM is a snap shot of a arcade games pcb, which basicaly is the program contained on the arcade board Loading roms is the same as swapping an arcade game machines pcb |
Waaaaay back then...
Space Invaders Asteroids Galaxians Gorf Phoenix Now... Sega Rally (I and II) |
Oh, and completely forgot about Double Dragon...
|
missile command bloody near on impossible from level 7 on (white or purple screen i remember)

Hard Drivin............
Loved the fact you had to use a clutch and gears like in a real car. |
Thanks to BlowDog for reminding me of Narc, always loved the way the guys jumped out of the car at the start!
Otherwise OutRun, AfterBurner (a bit), Double Dragon, Defender, and Battle Zone (which no-one has mentioned here before - am I THAT old?) |

There was a game I used to play around 1986. It was a driving game, that had 4 steering wheels for four players, and you viewed the track from above, as in you could see the whole circuit. I can't remember what it was called. Anyone know?
I also used to like Paperboy a lot. |

funny no space invaders mentioned as yet??? Mart missile command has to be "the game" of that era - earned myself a few bob playing that one - and those high level colour schemes were way weird :cool: |
gotta admit, i used to blow a fair few 50p's on outrun, back in the mid-late eighties, down saaarfend seafront.
the proper one where the car moved, and sterring wheel used to overwind your watch when you stacked it. Oh, the elbow on the side bit, single handedly navigating the twisties. with the stereo soundtrack eminating acroos numerous doughnut stands nearby... the smell of fags, real ale and chips as you reach for yet another pound coin. (3 credits) got the game on the xbox now and its not the same at all. infact it complete pants... BB:) |
Chase HQ, had a mate who never played arcade games until he tried Chase HQ - you never get him off the machine and he was good in the end, should be the amount it cost him ha ha ha (sorry steve)
|
rip,
agreed paradroid is awesome as is uridium, with you on wizball although I played it to death on the atari ST, guess they are probably pretty similar. There is a site somewhere that says what all the original graftgold members (inc. andy braybrook) are upto these days gary |
Battle zone,,, 3d wireframe tanks..... cooooool
remember the sythesised music when you got a high score not mutch, but way impressive back then.... donkey kong... remeber the jump out loop on the first screen... and then there was kangaroo... that was bloody hard too remember dont shoot the food!!!! keep em comming Mart |
"boot hill", now theres a classic.
2 cowboys, and cactuses and stagecoaches to hide behind. lol. giving my age away now, better stop.... BB:) |

Yours Dash Whoops......talking about WIZBALL in that last paragraph btw ;) |

2 player Space Invaders on the table top version, peering through a beer stained screen...
Hard Drivin' was great: lift-off oversteer on the limit, genuine feedback, double de-clutching and then you meet a tipper wagon head-on coming the other way. Continental Circus anyone? The one with the late '80's Lotus GP car? Sideways moments in the rain, amusing pit stops, 3D graphics and exploding GP cars. |
Anyone played Initial D racing arcade game?
Absolutely top driving game. If you've seen the arcade its based on a Japanese Animie about street racers who are well into their drift! The talking scenes are all animation but the racing is CGI. The feeling of the arcade is great and after a couple of attempts you can have the STI V6 Type RA in the most beautiful drifts (it actually specifies type rather than just "Impreza"). I've only played it a few times but have bought the PS2 import version which apparently is just like the arcade. If you see it play it! |
Not 56k friendly.
|
operation wolf and thunderbolt :cool: also afterburner r360 remember playing that in blackpool in the early 90's. out run was good. chase hq 2 sci used to like that.
|
I remember having a commodore +4 which was a commodore16 with 64k mem and there were 2 games that i'll always treasure, fire ant and icicle works! then the snes blew those 2 games with donkey kong country which was the most adictive game ever!! the oldest arcade game i remember playing was tron down the leisure centre! also ping pong and combat on the atari console was awesome too!!!!
