I just stumbled over this topic at Gamespy, the Top 50 Arcade games: http://uk.gamespy.com/articles/115/1151159p1.html
I'm wondering if you agree with this list and how many games from the top 10 you own (full games, not just the PCB)?
I have 5 out of 10, the Top 3, Star Wars and Galaga. Not a bad score. Are there DLF members who score 100% for the Top 10 listed games.
By the way, 2 games really don't belong in the Top 10, SF2 and DL. SF2 because I really don't like fighting games (I refer to those players as button bashers) and DL ... Well, enough said. :D
In fact, if I just could choose out of the listed games, then I would replace SF2, DL and Gauntlet with Centipede, Tempest and Robotron. Then you have a good Top 10. But where the hell is Juno First!!! Would be my number 2. ;D

Hehe, i do not agree on some of the choices, but i also have 5 out of the first 10:
- 01 Ms. Pac Man
- 03 Pac Man
- 05 Star Wars
- 06 Gauntlet
- 08 Galaga
- 13 Punch-Out!!
- 15 Space Invaders
- 16 Centipede
- 22 Dig Dug
- 27 Time Pilot (in Fast Freddy cab :P )
- 31 Mortal Kombat II
- 33 Bust a Move (in NEO GEO cab)
- 36 Operation Wolf
- 40 Bubble Bobble
- 46 Out Run
So, 50% of the games in top 10, and 30% in top 50.
-
Only one for me (>10) : Centipede.
Well, about the listing : #46 OutRun :o ! Not a very bad list indeed, but lots of fighters/beat them all too (Mortal Kombat I & II, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ...)
-
Only Star Wars and Namco Galaxian from the first 10, it is 1.5 score, cause Galaga is half Galaxian. :D
Btw. absolutely disagree with SF2, NBA Jam and Ninja Turtles in the top 15. :P
-
......cause Galaga is half Galaxian. :D
Thanks buddy, beat laugh I had today :)
-
If I can count my MB that will (one day) be converted to DK I come to 5 too...not bad....
However....any list that omits the most gracious game ever is of no value........Where is Gravitar !!!!!!!
-
And suddenly I realized I miss another game in that list that is absolutely insane not to be in there !
you guys may guess, but I will tip you that it would make my game count 6 if it _were_ in the list.....
Edit.......make that TWO games !
Edit 2:....make it THREE !!!
-
LL, Asteroids & Q*bert ?
-
You just made it FOUR Etienne, I had missed Asteroids !!!
Indeed I meant Q*Bert too and the other ones are Galaxian and Berzerk.
I can live with LL not being on the list it wasn't that big of a hit and was relatively an unknown game, but missing those other four is unforgivable....

You are right. The list was made up by someone with very little knowledge of arcade gaming.
