 What's up everyone take down here back with another video as you guys might have seen on my channel I'm doing a small little mini series where I share some of my favorite video games on different consoles. I have recently done the PlayStation 2 and NES and today I'm going to be sharing with you my top favorite arcade video games of all time. Now just a reminder this list is only going to include the video games that I remember playing as a kid. I didn't play all of the arcade video games these are the top five that I remember playing and the reason that I'm not going to be sharing just the top arcade video games is to me it's unfair to talk about a video game that I've never played and experienced so I'm not going to be sharing all of the top video games I'm just going to be sharing the five arcade video games that I remember playing as a kid. So let's get right into this. Up first in my opinion is the most iconic arcade video game of all time it is the most retro video game in my opinion and that is Pac-Man. Now I know whenever it comes to Pac-Man there is a specific pattern that you can do on each level to be able to advance and basically beat the game if that's what you desire to do whenever you are playing Pac-Man. But for me I didn't really care about the pattern I never looked into patterns for the game because honestly I didn't really want to learn a pattern for the game to just be able to beat the game whenever it comes to retro games my goal is to number one always try to beat my own personal high score and the other thing is just to have fun usually I play the retro games it is on my free time whenever I'm just trying to relax I don't want to just go and beat the game I don't want to have to follow a specific pattern and a specific way to play the game I just want to play the game just to have fun so I never learned any of the patterns the main thing I would do whenever it came to Pac-Man was number one I would always just go and try to eat as many of the regular dots as I could that'd be the first thing I do and I try to leave the four dots that turned the ghost and made them edible I used to always do that I used to leave those to last unless I got caught in a corner where I had no choice but to get one of those but whenever I would get them I would try my best to eat all four of the ghosts just to get more and more points so that's what I used to do I used to get the regular dots first and try to my best to leave the four other dots till the end to be able to go and rack up more points for me whenever it came to Pac-Man I don't think honestly I ever got past level three or if I did it was very rare it used to be very hard for me I never got too far in Pac-Man unfortunately but like I said I only played Pac-Man whenever I just was trying to have fun and relax I didn't want to learn a specific pattern the next game is space invaders now for me I never played space invaders for a really long time because currently I don't have any system that has space invaders on it and I don't live near any arcades there's no arcades near me so I can't go and play space invaders but space invaders the reason I wanted to put it on this list is because whenever I was a kid I used to play space invaders all the time especially in computer class and school whenever I was in like the fifth and sixth grade I used to go with me and my friends and different kid-friendly websites would always have a version of a space invaders on it so we basically go and see who can get the most points in whatever version of space invaders we are playing on whatever website just to get bragging rights so that's what we used to do we used to have so much fun to go and do it my strategy I never really did the greatest whenever it came to space invaders I would get decently fire but I would always end up all I'm not sure what they are called I'm gonna say bases the things that you hide behind whenever the enemy is shooting at you basically for me all the time all four of my bases would be completely destroyed before the enemy would come down before I killed the final enemy and that used to always suck the other strategy I used to try to do is hide behind them as much as I could and then basically try to shoot up from them just to try to kill more enemies but that used to always backfire but this game for me I have so many memories from back in like the fifth and sixth grade where me and my friends are just playing it on different websites just trying to see who can beat each other and who is the best who gets the most points that's why I wanted to add it to this list next up is Galaga which for me is one of my favorite shooter games whenever it came to a classic arcade video game it was the most fun in my opinion there is plenty out there but for me Galaga was the most fun now I have played Galaga on the DS PlayStation 2 PlayStation 4 and in an actual arcade and I want to say some more consoles as well but definitely those ones are the ones that I remember playing the most I still have it on my PlayStation 4 you can purchase that game and a couple other retro games on your PlayStation 4 so I do from time to time go and play it on my PlayStation 4 that's the most common way that I play it now but for me whenever it came to any classic arcade video game like I've already mentioned my main goal was just to beat my own personal high score beat my own best every single time that was what I always set out to do with Galaga I don't think I made it past level five too often usually I ended at level five that's where I'm dying lose all my lives but the one thing I used to always do is right before a bonus round I used to try to get my ship captured and then before that round ended I would try to shoot down the ship that captured me and then that would turn my ship into a double shooter ship which is basically twice the length going into a bonus round it is way easier to be able to take out all of these ships and earn all of the bonus points that you're able to get in that bonus round so it was way easier there by getting more points you're able to gain extra lives but at the end of the day sometimes it wasn't worth it unless you're going into a bonus level so that's what I used to do all the time on Galaga it was a lot of fun but again on Galaga there was certain patterns that you could follow to be able to advance to the next stages but I used to only play it just have fun and just relax so I never wanted to learn any of those patterns next up is Mappy which for me the only console that I've ever played Mappy on because it was the only one that was available on that I owned was the DS I basically purchased the Namco anniversary on the DS and it included Mappy whereas the PlayStation 2 Namco anniversary game never included Mappy so it was the first time me playing Mappy and for the DS version that was the number one game that I played on it was Mappy basically Mappy you are a cop mouse and you have to go in these houses and retrieve the stolen goods so whenever you go over things like a TV and stuff like that it would give you more points and that's how you earned a lot more points if you take out some of the enemies you're able to earn points as well bouncing on trampolines you're able to earn points as well one thing that was for me I think the cat the enemies were small cats so that's why if they touched you you would end up losing a life but for me I used to be able to easily get over a hundred thousand points on that and that to me was the most fun game that I've ever played whenever it came to arcade games it was so much fun a very classic game it even had bonus levels as well sadly I can't play it anymore unless I find a site on the my laptop that has it I'd be able to go and play it but it's not included on the ps4 it's not included in many places and like I've already mentioned I don't have an arcade near me so I can't go and play Mappy which I honestly miss Mappy the most because it used to be the one that used to have the most fun on and the last one here is Dig Dug 2 now I did enjoy the first Dig Dug however I wasn't too much of a fan of it being underground and you had to go and dig down to find the enemies I used to always get one or two enemies every level that would escape on me and I used to hate that Dig Dug 2 however is all above ground and you can do it the same way as Dig Dug where you can just shoot your gun and be able to pop the enemies but to earn more points if you're able to trap your enemies into the certain area that you're able to destroy and blast away you're able to destroy part of the island if you trapped your enemies in there you'd earn more points so that's what I used to always try to do is be to trap the enemies to be able to gain more points and just blow up part of the island for me it was more of an open world more of a 3d look to it and it was a lot of fun I also played this on the nintendo DS and I think that was the only place I played this as well but I definitely played Mappy the most but in second place would be Dig Dug so these are the five arcade video games that I remember playing the most and I had the most fun on these aren't necessarily the top arcade video games of all time but they're the only ones that I remember playing the most and I only wanted to talk about video games that I remember playing whenever I was a kid because if I've never played the video game I can't really talk about it and kind of explain what I used to do on it and how much fun I used to have I can't explain any of that if I've never played the video game so that's why this series I'm only going to be talking about video games that I remember playing but comments down below what is your favorite arcade video game that you remember playing as a kid of all time I want to hear what you guys think because I'm sure there's some out there and whenever I get a chance to I want to go and start playing more retro
