Author Topic: old arcade games you used to play as a kid (or just in the past)  (Read 2663 times)

/title. apologies if i'm making a lot of really general topics as of recent, i just like making discussion about random things

there was a skee-ball game that used to be at a place called NASCAR speedway, back in st. loluis. there were gokarts, food, lots of arcade games, a big playground, lots to do. it's unforunately gone now, along with the skeeball. that particular skeeball game was called dunk n' alien.

the objective is to hit the flashing yellow target. while you try to, a alien will mock if you if you toss it into any of the holes, with many one-line zingers. however, even when you hit the target, he still has a lot of other one-liners and still mocks you. video link shows what basic gameplay is like.

i think i only hit the target like once or twice in my god damn lifetime, and i've yet to see another cabinet of this in anywhere but the late NASCAR speedway.

anyone else got any memorable arcade games they used to play?

i had that namco musem 64 with pacman galaga and dig dug that was my stuff as a kid


the 2nd and third jurassic park arcade games, mostly the 2nd

savage quest 9game where u play as a t-rex and fight stuff)

Im a loving god at pacman, i always play it when i find it

when the owner nerfs pacman to be insanely slow tho, its basically unplayable

the one that came with a real gun

skee ball, tetris, pacman, galaga, dig dug, and joust are about everything i need to be content in an arcade

the one that came with a real gun

skee-ball was my forgetin jam i used to get a forgetton of tickets from those

i also remember playing a good amount of some like fast and furious arcade racer that was pretty cool cus u could upgrade ur cars the more u played it and u could save a pin number to come back to it later
i always played as the forgetin shiny silvery one cus it looked sick

that particular skeeball game was called dunk n' alien.
aw i remember walking past those a long time ago but never bothered to play it

i did not because i am a cheapskate

dinosaur king the arcade machine

edit: fast n furious arcade game too, you could save your car progress on it too so that was forgetin neat, nitrous was the best upgrade by far however

They had two Daytona USA arcade machines at my church and my brother and I would constantly play it before service started.
