What is/was your favorite arcade game?
Arcade machines only, not videogames.

I just picked up Joust for the XBOX. I wasted a buttload of quarters on that game. That and Defender.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

IIRC, there was a plausibly good copy on the Atari 2600. That was one of my favorites as well, but not in the arcade.

There was a machine at the ski lodge which would rack up free games if you hit the coin box hard enough, and that wasn't difficult wearing ski boots. I may have spent more time there than on the slopes.

I am so unbelievably bad at arcade and video games that there is no way to claim a favorite. I was even bad at pinball. Video games beyond Duck Hunt and Tetris are beyond me.

Quote:The Gond has been terrorizing nearby space colonies with its periodic raids of destruction. The time has come to put an end to his reign of terror. The player has been selected to pilot an advanced fighter ship with high offensive capabilities, and must enter the cave inside the asteroid where the Gond makes his home, and safely fly through every zone; the Mountain Zone, Rainbow Zone, Styx Zone, Stripe Zone, Bleak Zone, and the City of Mystery (aka Last Zone) where the Gond is rumored to reside. The player must take the Gond out, and succeed in the mission. If unsuccessful, the colonies will be doomed.

Apparently they were going to make Joust, The Movie, but Midway Entertainment went bankrupt before it came to fruition. One can only wonder why, with such great ideas.

Solar warriors. Because I set the high score on it in my college dorm that remain unbeaten for a year.
