  • Hehehe as an 'ST man' I can remember those competitive days. Viva La Difference. Pity there's nothing like that today.

  • @paulpetroleum The nearest we have to that now is the PC / Mac / Linux argument... but it's not as much fun :)

  • I am gobsmacked! lol Cool? Me? Not likely, but thanks for the kind words! I truly appreciate it. Honestly. I know text doesn't really convey sincerity well, but assume that I am being totally sincere, because I am. :)

    Oh, and it seems crass and presumptuous to suggest an adjective to describe my channel, but perhaps the word you were looking for was 'guileless'? I dunno. lol

    And I too would pick Gyruss, and potentially Galaxian as well! I should give that tag some thought!

  • @niceandgames Guileless is a very good word for the task... and no, you're not remotely presumptuous for suggesting it.

    I knew you'd be gobsmacked, but that's part of what makes you so cool :)

  • I was rubbish at arcade games too. I could not even finish the first screen of Space Invaders. I was surprised by your 6 choices. No mention of Pac-Man, Phoenix , Donkey Kong , Zaxxon or Rommel/3D tanks.

  • @edwardszzz 3D Tanks (Battlezone) doesn't qualify, as it uses 2 sticks. I'm not a Pac-Man fan at all, and while those other games are good, they don't do it for me in the way the ones I chose do :)

  • My Favourite Atari Is My,

    Falcon 030.

  • Nice responses there Steve when it comes to The Atari 8 bit and 2600 Vader model.

    As for your the second tag, some great games that if it's retro... that's it! BUT I don't want to be nit pickey... Star Wars arcade game as we all know you needed a steering device. Other than that your picks are great.

    I want to respond to this and it's damn hard cause there were a few games most don't even know of unless really played them back then. = )

  • God dam that was a long Talkie... ha ha... I had to watch it in 3 sittings whilst wrapping ebay items!! ;o)

    Nice selection of arcade titles dude. ;o)

  • Atari Portfolio, a netbook 20 years before they were popular.

  • @paulspydar :-( I just realized... no missile command (i put mission control wtf?> lol) cos it used the roller ball thingy..so i would choose donkey kong, ,& also Daruis instead of battlezone (battlezone is also excluded on control layout) or i would just have the same cab as you ! I would also swap for the climb in & sit down Starwars! oh the joy..hearing those classic 80`s sounds as I walk closer to the Arcade...& the hours i spent searching for dropped 10p`s & forgotten credits! lol

  • pheonix, robotron 2085, defender, battlezone, metroid,asterooids,....oh such wonderful games & times! :-)..

  • @SteveBenway I literally was, too! And then you said, I bet he'll be gobsmacked, and I thought, how'd he know?!? lol

    Oh, and I forgot to say before that being compared to Atarileaf is a great compliment. I aspire to have videos as concise and informative as his!

  • Couldn't agree more about Jasonmoore. His videos make me laugh every time without fail.
