That game was indeed amazing...pretty hard though. Love it when you caught the shooting star and morphed into the giant robot! That made no sense, but was awesome!
I was a big fan of Galaga, Dig Dug and Centipede as a youngster...hated that damn Qbert though...! There is an arcade here that has all old video games...defender, armor attack (green vector graphic tank game---think thats the name), tron, etc... Never did play a lot of those fighting games as a kid... this thread does bring back a couple of hazy memories...
Here's one of my favs. Side-scrolling beat 'em up with a hip-hop theme, complete with very questionable racial stereotypes. Bizarre.
Does anyone remember Thundercade? It was a vertical shooter, but you were on a motorcycle and could get sidecar powerups. I liked the arcade version better than the NES one.
darkstalkers is amazing....looking. It plays ok but really looks great. the characters would eventually make their way over to thet capcom team-up/Vs. titles where they would get cleaned up. I own alot of darkstalkers related toys. anybody heard the pixies cover of the Narc theme? what a great B side.
i loved the arcade version of sega bass fishing. if only wish the FISH! song was the one from discordance axis. brutal!
