Hey peoples, list your all time favorite arcade and console games. I'm trying to compile a good list cause I can remember games but not the titles, I know their was some really addictive games we all grew up with.

My Friend has been collecting consoles from the 70's onwards and even has a couple of old arcade machines. We need the list to start searching eBay for some decent games.

The obvious ones for me are:

Load Runner
Boulder Dash
Dig Dug
Tekken
California Games
Wizard of Wor
Street Fighter
Mario Bros
Sonic the Hedgehog

What are your Fave's ??

Bear Cub · 06-01-2008, 07:00 AM

Mortal Kombat
TMNT (Who can forget the epic showdown in the Technodrome?!)

I can visualize playing a ton of them at Milford Amusement as a kid, but I can't for the life of me think of the names.

l3ond · 06-01-2008, 08:49 AM

Yes I remember playing tons too but the names have escaped me. Ive added yor 2 to the must get list.

Redlemon · 06-01-2008, 09:07 AM

Crystal Castles ; I have no idea why I liked this one so much. I guess I wasn't big into shooting and punching games.

I actually have lists of most games since the 70's thanks to certain sites, I'ts great are just focusing on the fun ones though and dont want to waste money on bum old arcade m/b's of ebay, cause old arcade m/b's are so damn expensive !

And bubble Bobble, cheers what a classic I remember it was on tape on the old C64. That would be a great find in good condition.

Just some random info here,
