Konami Super Basketball and Track and Field were two of my favorites. My wife was a Galaga girl.

I just got a arcade simulator. It's a little different than a mame machine but will run pretty much any game in its native resolution and speed. It has a CRT so the games look just like you remember them. I'm not sure how many games are on it but more than 20k I'd guess. All the arcade games plus most everything from Sega Nes and all the other consoles including coleco vision. I'll have to play with it a bit tonight.

Galaxian was my canvas for creating masterpieces. I saw some arcade record book in the store years after arcades died, and it had the highest known scores for various games. My personal high score was something like 6 times higher than the purported record. But the book was flawed because there was some other guy on campus whose high score was something like 6 times higher than mine. I could make one quarter last for 90 minutes or so, and that guy could play all day on quarter. Nonetheless, I was the second-best player I ever saw.

I was decent at a bunch of different games, though not in the elite ranks. Centipede/Millipede, Frogger, Space Duel, and some others. I was okay at Defender and Asteroids, but not really better than an average arcade addict.

What does something like that go for?

Idk I got it from my brother. He got it for something like 500 used but has upgraded a bunch. I think I'm going to add light guns and ports to use original controllers for nes games it currently has ports for Xbox and Sega controllers as well as bluetooth?? Maybe it's wifi. He just wanted to put it in my theater room we will use it more there than at his house. I will try to post a picture when I get home.

The more I think about it, I probably shouldn't own one. I've already frittered away months of my life on those games.

So this is the game that was in the Ready Player One book lol

Boise_Chief 11-15-2022 06:35 PM

I hear you, herself would probably kill me if I start spending a bunch of time on it. But we like to entertain and some people don't like pool and darts etc. It will be something for those times and adds another area for people to congregate.

Joust was a very popular game back in the 1980s in central Missouri. Maybe elsewhere too.

Defender, best game ever made. Fact.
