Q-bert was the best! I played that all the time. Well that and Burger-Time. Now those were games.

@alamein:

Does anyone else on this site remember going to the arcade to play:

1. pac man - before there was a mrs. pac man
2. joust, dig doug, or asteriods
3. or have any Idea who dirk the daring, space ace, or Qbert is/are??
4. or just playing the pin ball machines because they were fun?

1. Oh yes!
2. Yep, all those too.
3. and those.
4. and those.

Actually I still own and use an Atari 2600. I am trying to write my own games for it. I’m not alone either. My other web haunt is here: http://www.atariage.com/

BTW: The Atari 2600 actually did not have pong as a game, but one of the the founders of Atari corp did invent Pong which was an arcade game, not a home console game.

Cheers!

This site needs more old foggies… :-?

1. Yes, those feminazi dastards! :o
2. Played it, hell I lived it!
3. Hahahaha, I notice how most of my conversations turn into, “Who’s better: Q*bert or PacMan these days.”
4. Pin ball machines are hands down, the greatest arcade invention ever! You always get the best bang for your buck!

Long live Atari!

I had dozens of these games in the 70’s. Paved the way for you Nintendo/ Playstation kids as well (I’ve evolved into them)!

No there wasn’t, and no one ever said there was except you. :P

Boy do I remember Atari well. I also loved playing Red Baron, Star Castle, Tempest and Frogger. As for pinball…still my favorite. I have a few machines myself. Gorgar and Black Knight were the ones I played most. Bought Gorgar a few years back…it still talks :D

Played most of the above and lived on them, but what’s barnstorming? :)

I have all of these as games on my computer, so I still take the time to play them all the time. :)

I loved Blue Max on the C=64, didn’t play that many arcades though (too expensive when you have the C= at home :) )……

This is barnstorming…

It’s okay, but not my favorite type of game.

Oh I remember this! (and the helicopter version too!) Too bad the name escaped me…
