I prefer Galaxian specifically because of the limited shots, you have to actually plan (and panic when your plan fails, hahaaha) your shots. Galaga is easier in that sense though the tractor beam/double ship part is a good addition to mix it up a little. I think the background pulsing...

Sweet! That's funny, I have a Gravitar that currently believes it's a Black Widow. When I bought it years ago the guy who sold it to me had swapped it to Black Widow but included the Gravitar board and control panel (and marque, I think), so I can swap back to one of the hardest games I've...

Agreed. Legacy was more The Matrix/Blade Runner than anything else, way too neon glass looking. There was supposed to be more of an A.I. component in the sequel's story (the ISOs) but it got cut out, that might have made the story a little better but I just remember being disappointed by the...

Qix ain't bad. Rally-X is racing game but also a maze game, lots of fun. Wizard Of Wor is a great 2-player game. Sort of a maze game, I suppose. Space Duel is another great 2-player game (the tethered option) which could replace Asteroids. Rip-Off is great 2-player as well. Having games...

Not sure if this is just my experience but I can't believe that Space Firebird is so rare, or at least nobody ever remembers it. That, to me, is the best of the space vertical shooters (Galaxian, Galaga, etc.) because of the graphics (very saturated bright colors) and the movements of the...

Possibly, if it were really loud. I remember playing it a lot and the music never bothering me (the game effects sounds are louder), and I get tired of most games with their never-ending music usually. I assume if you start concentrating on the music, the repetitiveness of it will drive you...

Oh, well that seems more "overpriced" than overrated, which I would agree with. I was assuming overrated as in people praising it as amazing or the best or something and then saying eh, it's not that fun. But like has been said, most people aren't even aware of it or remember it so it couldn't...

Ya, for me the disappointment was that none of the games were the games mentioned in the movie. I wanted Space Paranoids, dammit! And Matrix Blaster, Vice Squad, Light Cycles, all we got was a weak retelling of the "action" elements of the movie. The funniest part to me was the grid bugs...

Agreed, though I always liked Karate Champ. I guess because it was more martial arts sparring vs. insane superhero magic bullshit. I love the dual-joystick move selection, feels like an actual martial arts competition (Daniel-san!) for points with believable blocks and counters. No power-ups...

I disagree, I remember it along with most of my friends from back when we all went to arcades. But what I remember was how goddamn hard it was, I always gave up trying to beat it. I love the different, unique mazes and levels, the inbetween bonus levels, the secret ability to skip ahead to...

Well, are you saying that if you were, say, in a space suit floating behind something like a Falcon rocket and it's engines fired up, you wouldn't feel anything hit you, no blast of any kind? And what kind of outer space has edges that wraparound to the opposite side in an endless loop?

While I absolutely agree with the one b&w/one color vector idea (for me, in an arcade, that's Red Baron/Space Duel), I would say that you should absolutely want a cocktail Warlords. 4 players, and it's usually a crowd favorite in my experience.

For me it's the "cute" games. Which means games like Pac-Man Q*bert Donkey Kong Mario Bros. They're not bad games, just nowhere near the hype that they've gotten over the decades. Below that are games that aren't really games, meaning you can't do whatever you want in some random corner (and...

Oh, that's cool, I watched an older video of it (when it was first announced) and it seemed like the asteroids always moved the same slow speed regardless of size or if they'd been shot or not. Sounds like they changed that? Good. Did they vary the UFO speeds? That was another thing from the...
