loved the mario series, wasn't a big fan of mario 2 (didn't like that picking up and throwing shyt on people's heads and shyt).

Mario 3 was the shiznit, Mario Kart was heavy too.

Liked Double Dragon, Gunsmoke, Mike Tyson's punchout.

Liked Final Fight (Mike Hagar, Cody and Guy) and Streetfighter 2 was straight crack.

Seen more real fights and scuffles with Streetfighter 2 than any other game in histoire.

Street Fighter 2

All.Day.Long.

In the early 90's, this arcade game was everywhere there was a pizza parlor. I used to spend long hours perfecting my abilities with that game as a young kid. In fact, the game had a culture onto itself. You had skaters, rockers, gangster wannabe's and aficionados of that game.

My parents let me rent a videogame every weekend for a while when I was a kid. I'd say for a good 2-3 months it was Mortal Kombat III. Loved that shit.

But really I'd say Goldeneye took the cake for best game ever in my generation.

Not exactly "classics" yet though(my first console was an Atari 2600 or something so I did get in the game pretty early).

I thought I was cool because I had a Sega version with the blood and not the censored SNES version with no blood.

Oh shit, I didn't know there's a Mortal Kombat arcade collection for ps3!! It's a downloadable game if anyone wants to relive those old times.

I am surprised no one mentioned Tron.


If you really want old school...

Defender- hardest arcade game of its' time. Maybe one time I managed to play for 3 minutes.

Missile Command - I was horrible at this too.

Gorf - stupid name but it combined different games like Galaxian and you could at least get your quarters worth.

Golden Tee - the original 2D version. I could play 18 holes for a quarter and score 3 under par.

I knew people who got really good at defender but I never did.

I was seriously envious.

Granddaddies of arcade games :

Ghosts 'n Goblins and King of Dragons and Castlevania man.

This one was my favorite to throw quarters into.

This used to be one of my favorites too.

Probotector for the NES. The gameplay was awesome and very difficult. One hit and you were dead and you had to start over again.

Probotector first level

Damn, that's some crazy Euro version of Contra!

Did that game also have the Konami code?

Yeah, I had an SNES. The graphics were better on the SNES version, but the Sega version got the gore. Hardcore MK fans were more a fan of the Genesis version because it was truer to the original arcade game.

I never knew anyone who was good at Defender, it must've cost them a fortune!
When I said Golden Tee before I was wrong, I was good at Birdie King, crappy old school 2D but you could wail on that trackball! They rarely made games like that where you could log serious time with just one quarter.

Somebody said Tron, that was a good one too but also hard.

I remember when this came out. I don't think it was as popular as some of the other ones but still had some fun with it.
