Good god...

I played Dragon's Lair so much, I could get through the entire game without dying once.

I played TRON so much, I could go for a half-hour on one quarter (yes kiddies, arcade games used to only cost 25¢ to play).

And Sinistar?? There was nothing more bad-ass than that robot thing screaming "I hunger!!"

Man...and the funny part is...I have pretty much all those games today...on about 4 or 5 little PS2 disks.

Defender was my arcade game of choice. man that thing had tons of buttons.

edit hmm now need to research it.. joystick and five buttons.

Defender is a horizontally-scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game created by Williams Electronics in 1980.

This game was slow to become a hit when it was released as many thought it was too difficult due to its control configuration of five buttons and a joystick. It ultimately gained many fans and remained popular throughout the 1980s. Defender has been described as "quite possibly, the hardest significant game there is".[1]

hah! I used to buy these mexican peso coins for a dime each at a coin collectors shoppe. ...was the exact same size as the tokens used at the arcade I frequented.

Ah the good old days.
When I commanded line traced tanks that blew up other line traced tanks.
When I tried to defend the world from aliens of multiple types.
When I tried to keep the bugs from getting to the bottom of the screen.
When I had money to spend on that crap, and time to play them.

Gotta say, arguing with you people is a lot cheaper and just as time consuming.
