1980's Arcade 'casual' game
remakes?
Posted: June 29, 2009 at 07:57
Anybody who loved the arcade scene in the 1980s please feel
free to add to the discussion....Although.... I posted this
in other places and nobody seems to be interested:( I guess
it is because I am a 33 year old male and I do not fit into
the typical casual gamer demographic....
Most of the arcade games from the 1980s are endless-they
keep going and going and the levels get to a point where
they are almost impassable.
Ms. Pacman and
Pacman have 256 levels although most people do not get past
level 8 or 9.
Q*bert has 36 levels, but once you beat
all 36, you start over at level 9-1. Once you beat 9-4 for
the second time, you go back to level 9-1 again and you keep
going. (I know this because when I was 9, I set a record in
a Florida Arcade by playing this game for 2 hours using 1
quarter!
Ok, so here is my list..
Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong 3
Q*Bert - There is a QBert 2004 and 2005 but
they have problems with Vista.
Ms. Pacman- How about a
quest mode?
Frogger, Super Pacman, Jr
Pacman, Pacmania, Pacland, Popeye, Amidar, Rampage,
Paperboy, Punchout, Joust, Pang, Mr. Do, Dig Dug,
Mappy, Flicky, Kangaroo, Road Runner, Mousetrap,
Elevator Action, Centipede, Rally X, Phoenix, Galaga,
Zaxxon...
Also how about some Atari 2600
remakes- Enduro, Kaboom, Megamania, Keystone Kapers,
Pitfall, River Raid and others... (Activision ruled at the
time)
Anybody please add to the list!
New York Yankees are the 2009 World Series Champs!
