Six Old-School Video Game Characters You Don't Want To Be

Ah yes, the bomber in Combat .. who spent 1% of the time trying to turn, and 99% of the time spinning after being shot in the back .. :D

Yes the Bomber, That should be number 1 right there.

My list:

5) Dazzler from 6 player X-men...aww did someone arrive late to the machine?

4) Raphael from TMNT and TMNT Turtles in Time. Again same as Dazzler

3) I gotta think on this...

2) I'll come back to this one here...have a few in mind

1) The Bomber that is just awesome...

I don't get the reasoning behind playing Jr Pacman that way. I mean christ why intentionally avoid the dots did I miss something there?

He's trying to maximize the points on the first screen. He's basically keeping the ghosts grouped and behind him, and allowing the prize to bounce around the screen, flattening all the dots. Flattened dots are worth 50 pts instead of 10 pts (but they take longer to eat). He ended with 34K, I usually get all the ghosts on the first board, and most of the time, only end up with about 24K. I've actually seen someone get nearly 37K, but that takes a ton of patience and knowing where to sit to lure the prize down the right path. I actually like Jr Pac the best out of all the Pac games. On regular speed, I can get to the 7th board, but haven't been able to clear it yet (came really close a couple weeks ago, only had a few dots left) After 7, it goes back to the 4th board, keeps repeating those last 4 boards.
 
Not sure why the author was so against Jr. Pac. It's a fun (but admittedly difficult) game. I've gotten only to level 4... but I also play it on speed mode. Normal mode I think my best is only level 2 or 3.
 
Jr. Pac-Man is way difficult, but man is that game addicting:

An old-school game character I would NOT want to be: Those humans on the planet in Defender.
 
Well i would hate to be a Pooka from Dig Dug ,,

you get a pump hose up your arse , then inflated until you pop ,

OR WORSE , inflated until your face distorts , then let back down again ,, time after time !!
 
As for the topic of playable characters you woundn't want to be... I thought I was going to see SilkWorm on that list. It's cool playing the Helicoptor, it's crappy to be player 2 that has to play as the Jeep. Let's see, the chopper can fly anywhere on the screen, the jeep on the other hand has to drive on the ground, and try and jump over the landmines, all the while trying to shoot enemies and stay alive.
 
As for playable characters, i'd hate to be the two prostitutes from the game "beat em and eat um"
