Puzzle Bobble (now known as Bust a Move)... Mortal Kombat 2... Cruisn\' USA...

When I was in the 6th grade and in DARE. We had a Game-A-Thon. Where we got about 10 bucks worth of quarters each and went to a nearby large arcade and held tournaments on games. I got whooped in the Soul Blade one, then in a sci-fi space shooter, but got first place in Cruisn\' USA!

Still makes me

Was it Royal Rumble, Bladez? or was it WWF WrestleFest?

That game ruled!

Teenage Mutand Ninja Turtles 2, the first game wasn\'t that great but the 2nd game was excellent, it was and still is one of the best games ever.

We need more games like that now adays, all we have today are fps\'s, rpg\'s, fighters and driving games. I want the walk through fighting against a bunch of bad fighters.

A friend and I spent about five hours and a few fists full of quarters trying to beat Golden Axe. When we were done beating the game the owner of the pizza parlor bought us a round of pizza and free Coke. Those were the days. And yes, Golden Axe was and still remains my favorite arcade game of the late ‘80’s early ‘90’s.

As for the early ‘80’s however…it was definitely KungFu! Oooh yeah baby.

Outrun and Chasehq took plenty of my cash back then!

The simpsons was EASILY the best one. Man, I loved that game. They really should have made a consol version.

Coming in second would be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game (not sure which one...).

In 3rd is X-Men

In 4th is golden axe

The cool thing about that is that I just recently got the newly remastered version of the movie on DVD and it was a warp to the past bro!;)
