The ONLY way to play Star Wars is in the full-size cabinet. The best part of that cabinet was the fact you had speakers all around you. The bad part was the 13" vector monitors were prone to failure and hard to repair them or find replacements.

@SwobblyDoesStuff Год назад
They had this at the Portsmouth arcade and it was awesome. Think it was actually 20p a game then as well. One of the more expensive ones, but sitting in the cabinet with full surround was pretty amazing

I am sorry for making so many postings, but I grew up in the 80s, and going to my local arcades was my life. Over the years, reading about the history of the games and how they came to be really piqued my interest.

Never apologise. RU-vid is a social place and when it's a subject youre passionate about, it's hard to resist joining in the conversation. A similar story as myself (I'm 52) and the bright lights, sounds, crowds round an arcade machine (especially a 4 player gauntlet) was pretty amazing especially as they only cost 10p a go back then lol

Your wire-framed character in the arcade game Punch-Out!! was NOT named Little Mac. He was nameless. The reason he was drawn as he was is so that you could see what your opponent was doing. When it was released on the NES under the title "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and the re-release "Punch-Out!!," (with Mr. Dream replacing Mike Tyson via a simple palate swap) it was then your character was named Little Mac. Instead of creating a nameless wire-framed character for the NES release, that is when Little Mac was born.

At the place I worked in the 80s there was a Donkey Kong machine. One of my co-workers (Tony) would come in early to play the game and insert his quarters. He prided himself on being #1 on the leader board. He would get so angry when someone would beat his score. He would keep playing until he was #1 again. With the number of quarters he put into that thing, he could have probably bought the arcade machine for his home!

King Fu master is a classic for sure and thank you for that bit of info. Quite a few games had different publishers depending where it originated from. No clue why R-Type wasnt as one of the best side scrolling shoot em ups out there. It was in the vid of extra games from the decade but sadly, not voted high enough on the list I used. It was definitely one of my favourites of that genre.

I remember all these games in the arcades at the time. The noise, sticky carpet, cigarette smoke in the air as a kid. I maybe only had 30p for 3 games at the time then I would watch others over their shoulder for hours as entertainment like pre You Tube, etc today on screen. I would give the following a mention Xybots, Scramble, Arcade Pool, Gryzor, R-Type, Sub Wars, Ace chaser, and Firefox. There were soooo many back then. All games were extremely difficult and made to be coin eaters to extract cash from players, but at least the games were good and fun, yet so frustrating at the same time. Nice to see Battlezone getting a mention. Galaxians and Galaga were my go toos at the time I wasn't too bad at those games. I loved Defender, but wow was it tough. When I was older my friends and i pumped money into Gauntlet and Xybots with multilayer to progress those games. I wish I had a table top version of Galaxians right now. I loved those in the pubs and clubs back the late 80s.
@SwobblyDoesStuff
@SwobblyDoesStuff Год назад
From your reply, I'd guess you're a similar age to myself and had a pretty similar experience with arcade games. 30p gone in minutes but eventually lasting quite a while. For me Defender and Yiear Kingfu 30p would have been the whole evening gone (eventually) Galaxians was such a cool game, but why not build your own cabinet? You can buy a kit for any type nowadays.

Ms. Pac-man was a hack of Pac-Man originally called Crazy Otto which was developed by two programmers known as General Computer Corp. They initially released a hack for Missle Command called Supper Missle Attack which made the game a lot more challenging. When Atari caught wind of this, they gave General Computer a cease and desist order. But they B.S.ed their way into getting Crazy Otto published by Namco but changed it to Ms. Pac-Man. The first woman of arcade games.

The original Tapper arcade cabinet had a brass footrest like those you would find at a bar back in the 70s. The game developers wanted to add belching to the game. So they sat around drinking beer and recording their belches. Then the idea was tossed due to sound chip issues. Midway initially published this game for sports bars and the like hence being sponsored by Budweiser. The game proved to be a success. They wanted to sell it to arcades but changed the name to "Root Beer" Tapper so it could appeal to all audiences of all ages. Here is a little Easter Egg. On either version of the game, if you hold down both taps on the title screen, a list of the game's developers will pop up.

The best way to experience After Burner is in the extremely rare Cockpit version. Especially one that is fully functional.

For 30 years I have wished I could remember a certain specific arcade game. It had a joystick that did all the directional things they do, but it also turned clockwise/counterclockwise allowing the player to spin around and shoot anywhere regardless of the direction they went. You could blow up pretty much everything and each floor was full of computer terminals you just had to blast cause you could. It was kind of a 3-D layout and a third-person perspective that looked down onto the gameplay from a 45degree angle. I only saw it in one arcade and I don’t think I played it many times before it was gone but it was ahead of its time in the late 80s and for some reason it really stuck in my mind.

Obviously this kind of Top 50 is always going to be subjective (where did the votes come from by the way?) and there's bound to be folks disagreeing with a lot of the positions due to personal choice, bias and favouritism but I do like the way you stuck a few arcade legends in there that sometimes get overlooked in other charts, ie Joust, Defender, Asteroids, Time Pilot and pleased to see Frogger included - so good work there. I'm not sure I saw Scramble - that definitely needs to be in the top 30. Can't recall Ladybug or Space Chaser or the Taito winner Lunar Rescue. Not sure why Xevious wasn't higher, totally agree that Galaga is brilliant (much better than Donkey Kong!) and finally - a classic review of so many classics makes this a classic feedback - well done Mr Swobbly!

Tetris was NOT originally published or developed by Nintendo. Atari acquired the rights to make an arcade version of the game. Nintendo quickly acquired the rights to publish its version for the original Game Boy, hence why it was a pack-in game, When it came to the home version for the NES, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Tengen, Atari's unlicensed publisher of games for the NES. The only thing that I know about the lawsuit is that Nintendo won and Tengen was ordered to destroy all copies of their version of the game. Many people, including myself, consider the Tengen version the better of the two.

I must throw the red flag on Galaxian. That game was released in 1979. It is not an 80s title in the proper sense. I can see why you would think that it is though since it is perhaps one of the first true color arcade games. Asteroids would also be banned from this list unless you intend to put Asteroids Deluxe in its place... As for Space Invaders? Yeah, that's one of the greatest games from the 70s too, but Space Invaders Deluxe was made in 1980 so perhaps you can still save that game's spot on your list by calling it Space Invaders Deluxe (Midway 1980). Many folks have mentioned Sinistar and Mappy being absent from this list. Other notables missing include Lady Bug, Scramble, Berserk, Altered Beast, UN Squadron, Frenzy, Jungle Hunt (King), Congo Bongo, Tutenkham, Robocop, Bad Dudes vs Dragonninja, Return of the Jedi, Firefox, Mach 3, Astron Belt, Motorace USA, Hang On(and Super Hang-On), Carnival, Kick Man, Space Harrier, Golden Axe, Super Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man, and Darius.

Hey, thanks for joining in. Firstly, it's the top games of the 80s, so even if something was made in 1979 it can still be a top game of the following decade. There were probably nearly 1500 different arcade game releases during the gen years of this decade and having a top 50 means games that you may like wouldnt be in that top 50. This countdown was taken from the most popular internet voted list of games and not my personal picks. Also, people from different countries will have different memories of what games were available to them. At the end of the day it's a bit of fun about a hobby that's amazing that achieved its goal of raising old arcade game awareness.

I dont make content to purely please everyone who watches it, that would be impossible. I include what I think and how I feel. Some of these games were part of my life in the 80s and used to spend hours upon hours playing them. Replaying them gives a different emotional response from back then. Another great example is Pole Position. Absolutely loved the game as a teen, now? I think it was a pretty lame game. Just my opinion.
