Had a gander through the old memory banks and here's my list in no paticular order ( no doubt I've missed a few too)................

1. Sensible Soccer (Atari ST)
2. Sabre Wolf (Speccy)
3. Lumines (PSP)
4. Guilty Gear X2 (Xbox)
5. Batman (NES)
6. Marvel vs Capcom 2 (Xbox)
7. Powerstone (Dreamcast)
8. Halo (Xbox)
9. Streetfighter 2 Turbo (Arcade/SNES)
10. Super Mario World (SNES)
11. Championship Manager 02/03 (Xbox)
12. Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES)
13. XIII (Xbox)
14. Half Life 2 (360)
15. Rallisport Challenge 2 (Xbox)
16. Call of Duty 4 (360)
17. Shadowrun (SNES)
18. Super Mario Kart (SNES)
19. Goldeneye (N64)
20. Crackdown (360)

People look back on old games with rose tinted glasses far too much - have a play on Goldeneye 64 and see how ropey it is now. It WAS phenomenal, it ain't aged well though, has it?

Mine would be something

1. Simpsons Arcade Game
2. Turtles
3. Rampage
4. Sega Rally
5. Wonderboy
6. House of the dead
7. Mortal Kombat
8. Streetfighter II
9. Tekken
10. Time Crisis

House of the Dead and Time Crisis absolute classics, but only on the full size arcade.
Point Blank as well, I guess I just like shooting things!

I have a Time Crisis 1 and a couple of Point Blanks in the workshop.

if you like shooters ,virtuacop 3 rocks,as does big buck hunter pro and big buck safari, coopers 9 is okay too.

Yes that's true. Played all of them on the Sega Saturn, good light guns with it.

still fortunate enough to own many of these old classics on ps2 compilation packs

capcom generations 1 n 2
sega megadrive collection
taito collections 1 n 2
midway arcade treasures 1 n 2

these sell for only a few quid at second hand game shops and ebay etc

i may be looking at some of these gems through rose tinted heat vision lol ,,,,, but you cant argue with the value for money they offer

anyone ever played chess titans on the PC? I constantly get dicked on level four out of ten, this must be the hardest game ever!?

When you've got thirty people watching you play 1 credit in the arcade for four hours is better than emptying a fruit machine.

gambogaz1 · Post by **gambogaz1** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 11:27 am

Double dragon has got to be 1 of the best value for money arcade games of all time. 1 Credit lasted a good hour.
Supersprint flat screen 4 player was always a favourite of mine.
Chase HQ with the fire buttons on the steering wheel

Computer Games
All the Dizzys
Moon Bug
Daley Thompsons decathlon
Horis goes skiing
Green Beret
Microprose Soccer
Bombjack
Spy Vs Spy

super sprint

another i missed most people i knew were so good at it ,they could play all day,scores used to go crazy on it sometimes.

arcade owners used to bribe my mate jules not to hog defender all day.
must have wound them up, people being so good at stuff,10p could last them all day or until they got a swede ache

pacman was o.k for a wee/food break because you had the hiding place.

i remember a little glitch on phoenix that gave you mental points for shooting 3 in formation as they climbed diagonally.

anyone remember "the sparrow book of video games" it was a very early 80's paperback of tips to stretch your 10p further. there was a "method "

for taito's space invaders to maximise the score values of the ufo's ,can't remember for the life of me how many shots had to be fired to get top scores for them though,maybe the don of spacy's ,h2,would know?

harry2 · Post by **harry2** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 12:43 am

23rd shot and every 15th shot thereafter would give you 300 points for the spaceship.

Once got 116,990, then gave up. had two lives left

I was the king of Gorf as well. 170 screens or so. Clocked Defender and not bad at Galaxians. Anyone remember Scramble ?
