Arcade games I miss.

I notice the Arcade has an excellent rendition of Asteriods, which got me thinking about other games I've missed.

Anyone remember Star Castle? The space ship flys around a fortress with several layers of force fields, blowing them away a piece at a time. Been decades since I've seen this game, but I loved it.

There was another, I don't remember it's name, two spaceships flying around a sun (or black hole) fighting it out. Great 2 player game.

Both of the above games had a space ship similar to asteriods, same controls and feel. Anybody see them around?

Space Invaders is still doing strong as far as I can tell. Accurate recreations abound.

I was also a fan of Battle Zone, which has spawned a lot of imitations, but not too many recreations. As I understand it the US Army bought a lot of them and put them in with the guys because the simulation was pretty decent.

Crazy Climber...
Galiga I don't miss because its out there.
Pheonix, ditto.

What else?

 

I know this may sound stupid but I miss Dig Dug and Burgertime.

 

Dig Dug and Burgertime?

Get a C64 emulator, the C64 version of the games was pretty flawless.

I'd recommend VICE.

 

I was fond of a game called 'Alien Hominid' MG had on the original arcade. (Before the first switch)

It was a simple side-scroller, you were this little alien being pursued by the FBI.

But it was hilariously violent. There was a million ways you could kill the FBI, including biting off their heads.

 

I know its for nintendo, but I miss duckhunt. I mastered that game as a kid!

 

I don't miss it.















I still have a working copy!!!
