I can't remember the name of it, but I played it in the arcades around 1981. Or it may have been 1988...I'm not really sure.

Anyways, you controlled this sprite on the monitor, and you had to make it do things to get points. If your points were high enough, you could put your initials on the high score board.

Oh yeah, and you got 3 lives at the start of the game, but could win an extra life if your score was really good.

And it had some music that played in the background.

Thanks. ;)
 
Duh.... :D

According to KLOV message board users, the only game that mattered in the 80's was Donkey Kong. It was the undisputed king, until Bad Dudes was released in 1988. So, the game you are looking for is DK.
 
No, I think the name had 2 words in it. "S" may have been the first letter of the first word. Or it might have been "B"... Can't really remember.
Whoops. Didn't see this one before I posted. But it supports the theory. I was kidding about the initials thing. But 3 lives + 1 and music are good clues. And 1981.

That's funny. You know, until the King Of Kong came out, no one around here talked about Donkey Kong. Then, after the movie came out, it was a MUST have, and the greatest game ever. Weird.

Are you sure it wasn't from the 90's? It sure sounds like Super Ultra Fight Driving Shooter.
