Galaga is the greatest video game of all time.

[WilliamPitt]

If you disagree, you're simply wrong.

1. your mother's a whore.

:P

[WilliamPitt]

2. Careful, she posts here

and will kick your entire ass. :)

[leeroysphitz]

5. Your mother is Skittles?

[WilliamPitt]

7. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe.

;)

No, my mom is Raven.

[AwakeAtLast]

3. OMG! Another Galaga lover!

I thought I was the only one!

:pals:

[NMDemDist2]

4. dude, there is one still working within 15 miles of where I'm sitting right now

I swear!

I was blown away and spent $3 immediately and I haven't played a arcade game in YEARS

we're taking a roll of quarters next time we head that way

:rofl:

[WilliamPitt]

6. I found one in Holyoke last weekend.

Lost my mind.

[NMDemDist2]

9. you know that we're showing all the signs

of getting old right?

:cry:

[WilliamPitt]

10. One knob, one button. Period.

When Defender came out with the knob, the button and another button, video games died forever.

Or am I being too intense about this?

:P

[NMDemDist2]

13. nope, I'm with ya

but then I'm OLD

:rofl:

[WilliamPitt]

16. I fart on old from great height

Old has nothing to do with it. Galaga will rule for ten thousand generations. So there.

30. You're kiddin' me, right?

I appreciate videogames with simple controls, but Defender took videogame interaction to the next level. It requires a greater degree of hand-eye coordination than simply pushing a spaceship back and forth across the bottom of the screen.

Not knocking Galaga, mind you, just throwing in my two cents.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Crazytalk. Elite is the best.

EDIT: And for coin-op, either Smash TV or Bubble Bobble is the best.

[WilliamPitt]

12. I fart on Elite from great height.

15. Smash TV

:headbang:

[derby378]

32. I could get lost in an ELITE session for hours

Then again, I found myself smuggling a lot of contraband to planets where it just wasn't safe to do so. Had to take out a few nosy government craft, too, but it came with a price.

:evilgrin:

11. Nope. Ocarina of Time, no competition.

17. Sure, if you're a motard

The best old time arcade game was Paperboy. You peddled down the street delivering papers and you got extra points if you threw the paper through a window or coldcocked a random breakdancer with the Daily News. Every intersection was like Frogger. It was dead brill.

Ah, the 80s...

 

[WilliamPitt]

18. Did it have more than one knob and one button?

[Bucky]

19. Dude, I don't even have more than one knob and one button

Depending on how you define "button" that is.

[BlooInBloo]

21. You want knobless? X-and-O football ftw!

[BlooInBloo]

20. That WAS a good game.

[Sky Masterson]

22. I disagree

[derby378]

33. Centuri, eh? I was the VANGUARD king

My high score of all time was 625,000 on Vanguard.

[Nickster]

23. Duh!

[TX Screwball]

24. One knob.

...and not even in color.


Played the heck out of the machine at the local washateria when I was a youngster.

[Redneck Socialist]

25. Your post is made of fail.

Centipede for the win!

[buzzycrumbhunger]

26. I have to admit

. . . that was the game I always played. Never occurred to me that I excelled because it worked with my limited hand-eye coordination with that one button, one knob thing, but that may be the key. These days, I'm more of a Tetris dweeb.

I was surfing for a downloadable version a while back and all I could find was Asteroids. Holy fuck, did they complicate that! It's way cool, but I don't think I ever got out of training mode.

[Career Prole]

27. Don't hate me. I'm just linkin' to a list.

I didn't write it. I don't agree with it. I've never even liked Pacman...although I did blow maybe fifty bucks on Tron one week in Cleveland.

28. Stargate was my favorite.

You could play for hours on one quarter if you were good.




Galaga was fun as well. Intentionally getting tractor beamed to double up your firepower was a cool concept.

[Lars39]

29. Fed a fortune into one of those...that and Joust.

You can play 'em on a pc, but *it is not the same*.

[DarkTirade]

34. There's a Galaga machine at the laundromat I go to...

unfortunately most of the time its out of order. :(

[derby378]

35. The game I was best at? KICKMAN

In my heyday, I could score 32,000,000 on this game. I could play it for hours on a single quarter. It was fun when crowds gathered to watch.
