These rare ones were in my local arcade.. SOLAR FOX PAC-LAND SPACE FURY ROBOT BOWL MAJOR HAVOC Robot bowl was the last remaining b&w video game they had.. i never played that game usually because it scared me.. only times i would usually do it was with a buddy.. there were a FEW times i would man up and do it myself, , but then i'd have to play solar fox afterwards to stop feeling on edge.. robot bowl finally got removed in '84 or 5 and i was so relieved.. but then solar fox went a year later (i forget what replaced it).. so disappointed that day..

I loved dig dug it was the cutest game ever.. i always wanted a stuffed dig dug.. then i hear of people into INFLATION in the '10s and that scarred me.. could not play dig dug for about a year.. Funny thing,,, nintendos shop called dig dug 'THE CHAMPION OF LOVE AND JUSTICE' i find that hilarious..

MAY have seen this one in the arcades back in the day.. there are a few rare ones that stand out.. I ROBOT,,,, MAJOR HAVOC,,,, PAC-LAND,,,, ROBOT BOWL,,, and SPACE FURY.. I ROBOT was at an arcade in ohio when i went to kings island in '84,, and everything else was at my local arcade.. If we did have dracula hunter it must have been not well received.. could've been in an IL arcade because i went to marriott's great america in '81.. Was it by konami????

That would be CLEVER for a ROM hack. I would imagine who my patients were based on things I liked seeing in a guy... thankfully I stopped playing after I got into MEN NAMED JUSTIN thanks to the WORLDS OF POWER METAL GEAR novel.

That goes double.

Superman would be better if it had BRAINIAC as one of the bosses... but then again he'd look like the CIRCUS PSYCHIC FREAKAZOID from that era of DC...

I SWEAR Brad from Scooby Doo looks like ME, but with REDDER HAIR (my hair is more orange.) He also looks like MITCH HEDBERG... I saw him live once... R.I.P.!!! Anyway, I recently thought of ANOTHER game I made a story of... PIGS IN SPACE... I used to watch hours of MUPPET SHOW reruns so I wrote stories for Pigs in Space that envisioned each of the three games as sketches on the actual show... script format... I knew the characters' personalities and all... my favourite was the GONZOIDS sketch. I forget which story had it (I wanna say it was CHICKEN INVADERS) but Link Hogthrob said "What in the name of Mark Hamill is going on?" as Mark Hamill started Pigs in Space... Also unrelated but I wrote a script for a Pigs in Space sketch in which they RETURN TO EARTH... the crew that sent them on the mission just GAVE UP and wanted them to return home... haha!!!

The Sonic racecar... THAT WAS IN THE USA?!

What kiddie rides? I remember a Dino one being at my old job. Since I'm a BIG Hanna-Barbera fan... I made SURE to greet it EVERYTIME I walked into the place!!!!

I hate those things!!! You may have heard what Syzygy said about the Spider Stompin' game, well, that's WHY I hate that game, and I can't believe they are doing this to children! Although there is ONE redemption game I DO like and that is WHEEL DEAL. The MUSIC in that game is GREAT.

Wait, is that his name?! I keep forgetting his name.

I know that the one virus guy from Toonami appeared in their review of the game. I wasn't watching the block round this time (I was more interested in G4), but I recently found out and I watched the review. Seems like they were going for a David Warner type with his voice. Still think the Rez/Jango Fett combo from the online game was funnier.

OK, this topic is for me. I used to love making up stories for Atari games. I would type most of them on an Apple II after I thought of them, and they were saved there throughout the 1980s, until 1995, when I got a Windows 95 and transferred them there via a USB drive which I still have. As mentioned before, I wrote a script for an animated adaptation of Superman, and then would write numerous stories about Superman saving people whenever I played the game when I was out sick, which served as "episodes" to the show. I read a lot of Superman comics, so it was mostly true to the source material. I also did stories for Tunnel Runner and Cosmic Ark; I think Tunnel Runner had the player a peasant named Kayro (after Kayro-View!!!!) who angered the evil tyrant Cerebus and placed in his dungeon to be preyed on by his hellhounds. Here's some ones I remember... Fantastic Voyage: Female doctor Lisa Stein travels inside a patient named David Young in order to remove a serious blood clot. This was written when I was 13 or 14, and coming to terms with puberty, so that explains why the "host" is male and the "voyager" is female. Suicide Mission: A duo of scientists, Amy and Monica Zhao, travel inside the body of a patient named Brad Adams to remove an abscess near his heart. Again, female voyager, male patient. The voyagers are Chinese because I grew up near Chinatown and thus knew a lot of Chinese immigrants. Haunted House: A young girl named Luisa ventures into the haunted estate formerly owned by Zachary Graves. She has to avoid ghosts and bats... the last of which is hell for her, because she's a chiroptophobe! Of course, I had/have chiroptophobia as well, which is why Haunted House scared me to no end and why I couldn't even play Adventure without being tense and nervous. Snoopy vs. The Red Baron: Snoopy goes after the Red Baron after he conquers Poland. He eventually gets him to sign a peace treaty after threatening that Woodstock will peck his eyes out, and the allied command honors Snoopy for being the one stopping the war. Laser Gates: A sentient computer virus named Redzone invades the Cryptic Computer in order to blow it up. This was back when computer viruses were becoming a thing, and some of them had made the news. Now, I know one user on here really likes sentient computer viruses, so I'll describe what he looked like: he looked kind of like Sark from Tron, combined with Brainiac's appearance at the time (humanoid alien; he had pink skin, though, like Sinestro) and red eyes. He did not look much like the virus from Toonami, other than that he had red in his design. He did not have a Kiwi accent, either, it was more of David Warner as Sark. I based most of it on an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series. That's all I can remember. Sometime soon, I'll dig through my USB drive to see if I could upload them here.

I used to love that game. And of course, I liked it for the same reason you do.

I usually do it in 50 seconds, a minute at the least. I got good at it from years of playing Atari on sick days: Superman was always my go-to game, because I would make up stories about Superman saving people, once I grew tired of the "broken bridge" plot. I used to write them down on my Apple II. I uploaded them to a USB in the Windows 95 era and have had them ever since. The only other games I would do this with are Tunnel Runner and Cosmic Ark. Maybe Fantastic Voyage, too.

Space Invaders. A friend had Star Ship, and I used to be terrified when objects would come up to the screen, so much to the point where I had to ask him not to play that game whenever I came over. I also used to like Galaxian and The Earth Dies Screaming. And Star Wars, of course.

As a kid, I always wanted a full animated adaptation of this game, complete with voice acting (Danny Dark as Superman, of course!) and an orchestrated score. I even came up with a main theme for it, based on the three notes that play when you beat the game, and would play it on piano for my mom. And I wrote a script too, complete with the end teasing Brainiac (like the sequel hook in Flash Gordon.) Brainiac's voice in my mind was inspired by a sinister voice in a Tom & Jerry cartoon that said "Now I have you in my power," as I didn't like Brainiac's voice on the Super Friends/Adventures of Superman. I don't remember if I got around to writing the sequel, though. This had to be around 1980.

Shucks that they don't have Mega Man anymore. I loved playing that game every time I would visit back when I still worked at the Hollywood Arcade. Sorry to hear about Galaga. And I can't stop laughing at the Zaxxon part... I could get way further than you on that one...

That's literally where they got his name from: he ends up bungling up his actions thanks to Dynomutt and he's looked down upon by the citizens and the mayor.

Forgot about him. Yeah, 99% of my bondage fetish pretty much came from him. I know I've seen Haven, but I don't remember a lot of it. That was back in the early 2010s when SyFy had a lot of crappy shows.
