nosweargamer Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 This was inspired by StormSurge's thread about favorite Atari arcade games. So what is your favorite arcade game (any company)? For me, it's gotta be the original TMNT 4 player arcade game. So many memories and still fun to this day.

Rowsdower70 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 TMNT is a solid pick! I fed many a quarter into that sucker. My pick would be Gorf. I loved that annoying taunting voice, and the stages were like a buffet of space shooters!

StormSurge Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I didn't grow up in an arcade hotbed. There were only a handful & they never seemed to last long. So my experiences came from pizza places and bowling alleys. That said, some of my favorites: Galaxian Pac Man Star Wars Run & Gun (basketball, early 90s) 1943 Super Off Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Do! is a great pick and quite similar to one of my top 5's....Dig Dug. Also similar to Phoenix, I really liked Pleiades!

DeLorean Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Mine is T-Mek. It's a nice arcade game running on Atari GT System hardware and published by Time Warner Interactive in 1994. Atari and Warner were still working together then. Warlords! Looks like Battlezone Cyborg Predator? Looks like Hoth. Where's Dash Rendar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Oooh, looks nice. Like a more modern Battlezone with a guy taunting you like games should.
