I spent a lot of time on that game too! I ended up memorizing where every enemy came from. In the end, I could get to the final stage on 1 quarter, but it was so crazy I never mastered the final stage to finish it without spending $$$.

ya the end got pretty crazy and you pretty much need to have the right weapon for certain bosses (included last sequence) or else you'll just die horribly. if you're left with just the pee shooter you pretty much just wipe and start a new game.

i remembered a lot of sequences to where i fired a bullet and then a guy comes out and runs in to it :lol. first stage i'd try to go as far as i could with just using a knife

Berz out.

"That man is playing Galaga. Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did."

Pac Man for me :) Love that game!

Xmen was good as well

I have a spot for those 4 player on the same screen side scrollers like that, was so fun playing with a bunch of friends and seeing everyone on one screen like that

Xu.Vi 07-20-2015 03:01 PM

KOF for sure!

So instead of working as a paper boy you were playing an arcade game about being a paper boy?

I loved playing this game at Chuck-E-Cheese's.
But whenever the 4 middle controls were already being used, leaving only the crappy side spots left, I'm like: :heckno:

Time Crisis
House of the Dead

I suck at arcades and they were expensive back then. Only place I would play them was at Playdium when it was still around.
