Most underrated arcade games

[VectorGamer]

If you can find a mini Space Encounters cabinet it's a fun game to play. Funspot has one. The controls are different on the mini compared to the awkward controls on the full size cabinet. I love that game.

I'm replying to an old post, but that's what these forums are for right?  I consider myself above average when it comes to knowledge of video pinball games, and yet, I have never heard ANYONE ever mention this one.  I've also never seen it among the many shows and arcades I've visited.

I am making a MAME appointment to check this out right now.

There's also a Super Pinball Action.

 

EDIT: I should have kept reading, you found this out already.

Shuuz was conversion only but yes, I've played one. Also had one pop up locally on craigslist a couple years back.

I never knew Atari Games made a cornhole-type game! We are LONG overdue for an Atari 50 style treatment of whatever we're calling the Midway Arcade Classics.

Phoenix!  Right up there with GORF for me.  Two of the 20 MAME ROMs I DL-d yesterday.  

 

CliffHanger (Laser disk game 1983), never finished it.  

 

Kickman: Used to burn my fingers using the trackball. LOL 

 

Track and Field: Trackball Edition.  The hurdles you liteally had to press the jump button continuously so you wouldn't fall he was running so fast.

Shuuz is great.  Discovered this game 12 years ago when I built my MAME cabinet and to this day my buddy and I fire it up all the time.  We've played hundreds of matches.

As sequels go, I love Blasteroids. 

Is Xenophobe underrated? Love it -- if only someone would hack it to play full screen instead of that tiny upper third. (Lynx is full screen, I think, but not the same) 

Pac & Pal feels like the truest Pac Man follow-up to me, similar but new enough to be different. 

Krull?

Pitfall II for arcade is cool too.

1. Cloak & Dagger

 

Cloak & Dagger is great. Loved the movie too as a kid.

 

When I lived in San Antonio for a few years, I made it a point to visit all the sites where they filmed the movie... like the boat rides on Riverwalk, the Sunken Gardens, etc...
