Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.

Ah good, I'm not alone here.

People who haven't played the old classics have been missing out.

Any favorites you have? I'm not old enough to have lived in the times when these games were in the arcades themselves, so the ones I've played were part of compilations.

Has anyone here played those old Midway games?


Like Root Beer Tapper, you mean? Boy I sucked at that.

Lots of them were good. I am lucky enough to have played many of them in the arcade. Spy Hunter was great, the Gauntlet series deprived me of countless quarters, everyone knows Mortal Kombat. Those are the top ones I can think of.

I still haven't finished the Gauntlet, or the Gauntlet II for that matter :\\ That game is nuts.

@Strop

Woah, brought up that game?

I played that on a compilation.. I don't think I finished the game.. Or did I?

I only remember playing the alien levels. Apparently, the game was changed from Tapper to Root Beer Tapper. Alcohol references.

Gauntlet is awesome. Four players at the same time is nuts. Bad thing was, I didn't have four controllers for the PS2 so I couldn't do much with that. Yes, I played the games years ago on the PS2. Played them to the extent that the disc wouldn't work at all anymore.

Everyone knows what Mortal Kombat is. Fatality!

Hah, Smash TV.

Gauntlet was fantastic in the arcade. I can't tell you how many hundreds of dollars my friends and I pumped into that game

I'm sure if I was there back then, I'd have fun too with my friends.

Co-op's always awesome.

I sucked at Spy Hunter.

I think older games have these certain things which set them apart from the newer ones. Aside from the obvious ones.

lots and lots of "Nintendo hard" for one.

hell, super mario bros. got an online hack that just takes it to hell on earth.(not sure of which super mario game how ever)
(may include: falling to your doom "After" winning, invisible blocks to knock you down, power-ups that are either die if you touch them, or die if you don't touch them. hell, even the opening screen is "Trying" to kill you.)

Do you remember the first Half Life?
The marines were a serious threat.
Now, you can defeat the whole japanese army (CoD5) with only your knife...
The games are becoming easier and easier. =(

Hard? Naw. Not after you have beat it about 5000 times. Like I have. I know every secret about the game. At least I think. That's what I love about that game. So many hidden things that you would of never know were there unless you looked them up online.
