Favorite Games by Williams

Doesn't matter if they made it or just distributed it as long as it is an Arcade game.


First I must admit in the early 80's I did not see a lot of Williams games. I'm not exactly sure why, but I only recall seeing Joust in any of the arcades I visited.


Narc - I dropped many quarters in this game and liked it a lot. I think the theme at the time and the graphics for the time had a lot to do with it.

Robotron - Another good game. Not sure of many people that don't like this game.

Both games follow Jarvis's method of just enough stuff going on at once to make it fast paced and frantic, but not too over whelming.
 
Robotron is my favorite game, period. Hurts to play too long however. Once I stop making stupid mistakes I'll break 1 million - still can't get out of the 500K range yet.
 
Moon Patrol is the only one I played much growing up. Defender was insanely fun - for about 20 seconds per quarter. I really suck at it. I still haven't tried Robotron yet. High Speed pin is my favorite overall Williams game from the 80s though.
 
Paddle-Ball
Mystic Marathon
Star Rider

Just Kidding.....

Hey Moderators, he hurt my feelings since I worked on 2 of those games .:bawling:


JUST KIDDING :D:kidding:

(At least about hurting my feelings).

Robotron
Joust
Bubbles

Are my current 3 favs. Stargate & Sinistar climb up there periodically until I get p*ssed off at how badly I suck at them....
