thanks for the welcome, sorry for the double post, its a topic i am somewhat passionate about (is it wrong for a 40 year old college student to still love video games?)
back in the arcade days I also used to love Joust, but having gone back and played it more recently on a console I know longer have any idea why. there was another arcade game I cant remember the name of, I want to say Robotron followed by a future year.....it was in the grafics style of astroids or battlezone but it was you clearing mazes full of robots with a gun (think pac man but with guns instead of chasing and eating)...anyway loved that one back in the day too.

Heya and welcome here Ghost :D. I personally was not much into arcade games since I was born in the Super Mario Bros era, but when i tried some old games I kinda liked space shooters a lot like Space Invaders. Besides that my favorite arcade games are mainly the racing ones and pinball type games.

Do you mean Berzerk?
Berzerk is my favorite arcade game.  :D
It was so advanced with its voice-synthesizing chip.  "Chicken, fight like a robot!"

Does Gauntlet Count?

Pinball is still one of my favorites.

There was a Ms. Pacman + Galaga multicade in the arcade I went to. I only played one game of galaga because the fireworks show began short after.
If you like my work: why not give me an internet?
