The Journey game was off the chain. I remember this game being so popular that I never got to play it. I didn't get to the arcade very often, mom didn't allow arcade time. The arcade was where kids got into "trouble" according to her. She was right, that's where all the town derelicts and delinquents hung out. But who cares, I was gonna get my Ms. Pac Man fix regardless.
Who remembers Baby Pac Man? 1/2 Pinball-1/2 Video Game That shit was the shit!
many homework hours spent on that one there. in '88 i had this one handled in one quarter, holmes. sweet ass Uzi action, thumb grenades, shit was tight-tanium. soft and smooth Atari graphics and sound kinda like Paperboy had, remember? OOoold school shooter that you had to have the eyes of a damn condor to hit the micro-targets on.
arrrgh, that damn Dragon's Lair game!!!!!! how do you get past the beginning??
i hated that shit...and space ace. it was all timing. same moves every time.
super sprint was ill. gauntlet. 720. double dragon. tapper. toobin. spy hunter( my boy has the sit down version in his garage) defender. i was an arcade junkie.
what was the deal with this game, anyways? weren't you just supposed to move the joystick in certain directions on each screen to get to the next or something weird like that? that shit cost like a dollar to play when it came out.

Stratovox - 1980.
I never got past even the beginning of this.
used to play this damn near every day at Straw Hat next to the Boys Club
battle?
One of my favorites. I never got too far in the game but it was always fun to play.
Some other great ones.

absolute favorite of all time.
Track Ball classic, Possibly my GOAT.
Joust
Getting that guy to fly well took skills.
Robotron
Double joystick style dopeness!
Tron!
And dont forget its counter part SPACE ACE!
Defender upped the button ante.
Tempest was a return to minimalism.
this was a fun game!
do arcades still exist?

WOW I haven't thought about that game in a loooong time. We're spoiled these days with shit like this right in our living rooms:
(I'm not complaining tho
I gotta go with:
-Galaga.
-Tron.
-Karate Champ.
-Punch Out.
-Defender.
-Dig Dug.
-Kangaroo.
-Pac Man.
-Elevator Action.
-Space Invaders.
-Asteroids.
-Pole Position.

I totaly forgot about this game, maaaan I wasted a ton of money on this one.
Digging thru my MAME roms now to see if I have it.
And Gauntlet was great if you had all your boys with you:
"Get the food! I'll cover you! Go! Go!" That's all you would hear around that game.
