Best Arcade Game Ever

Honorable Mention:

 

Galaga and House of the Dead 2

 

I forgot abuot Golden Axe....I had Karate Champ in my house many years ago and got very bored with it, buta quality game. Lets face it...there aren't many of these that I didn't play...i wonder how much money I dumped in arcade games from 1979-1993.

Stargate was one of them. Your drive a spaceship around and shoot aliens that are picking up 10 of your pegs (I guess they were like people) There were space pods that if you shoot them they released a cluster of things. Basically you were to clean up the skies.

Can't remember the name of the game but it was a 4 man football game. 2 people per team that you had a 8 inch ball and a button per person. The ball controlled one persons motion the button allowed you to change which person (of 2 or three I think) or throw depending on who played QB for that sides team. More than once I came home with beaten up hands from rolling that ball. It was hands down the best game IMO

 

pinball...the kind that dont tilt where you can pick them up off the floor and shake the shit out of it to score specials. :xyzthumbs

 

Delta Queen - Bally - mid '70s
Black Knight - Williams - mid 80's

I grew up playing pinball until I was around 10. Then the video games came...

 

I'd like to have a few of those quarters back.

We used to play Karate Champ for money. If you played defense and were patient, you'd win a lot. I could understand how you'd get bored with it..

 

Nintendo track & field

 

I believe that was Atari Football.
