RaiseThese Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 This thread will be about my/ your favorite ARCADE games ( please do not include games where there was not a STAND ALONE arcade version) For example you may have played Ms Pac Man on coleco or other but there was an aracade version. Games like Grand Theft Auto do not have an arcade version. My favorite game of all time is Gorf, I was okay at it but never made it past the fourth level. The joystick action was the first of its type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually finished the race about half of the time I think you could memorize the track and once you did that you would get bonus laps and play as long as you wanted on the same quarter.

RaiseThese Posted March 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 I have spent over 1k on this game at the arcade...would play for hours when it first came out. My skill level on this game was elite. At one arcade we played winner stays and loser pays. I could own the machine for long stretches of time.

But loved this Old School pinball game, first one I ever played with a multi level playing field,,,the sounds are incredible Also first multi ball game I ever played.

Looking at the gameplay video I remember why I sucked at it...I never could get that depth perception down pat....ran into walls ,missed targets.

Jimmy Hoffa Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 I used to play these at Foxy's Deli across from the Sahara. They were pinball machines but had no flippers. If you got a line or row lit up it paid out in nickels. They were illegal everywhere except Nevada at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are in the process of moving to a bigger spot in Vegas. Own a Captain Fantastic I bought on Ebay a few years ago. Was one of my favorites growing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
