Since MK2, 3 and 3 Ultimate, none of the MK games looked good....... Until now!
Might just get me to buy an X-Box.

BTW, Jax kicks ASS! He's one of the two characters I played back in the day. Him and Sektor.

Not bad.. I have MK4 on my PC and it sucks so badly compared to MK2. MK3 was cool but the combo thing required a lot of memorizing. $20 spent per day at the arcades cost me dearly during my teenage years!

Make me glad i caught the arcade craze earlier - games were a quarter and only the special games (Dragon's Lair) were fifty cents.

Let's see anyone go further back on this one without mentioning "pinball"

Seriously, I'm trying to get two of my family members to join me and buy a 360 and the game, just for THIS 1 game!
I may have to sell some of my G1 Transformers to pay for it About $400.+ tax for the sys, controller and the game.

Anyone interested? Paid $650./shipped for Fortress Maximus. Everything is original and there is zero yellowing.

Lunar lander anyone? Cool controls

I played all these games in my local arcade. I also have the full Mame collection of 6000+ arcade games.
mabe I'm older than you Apoppin?

sh!t, are you that old?




Honestly, I think that some of the fatalities (like slicing the body in half) should be X-rated, more "taboo" than the display of some breast nipples.

i played Space Invaders, Galaxian, later Galaga. Defender, of course .. and Donkey Kong, Centipede and Star Wars. PacMan and later i got pretty good at Ms PacMan and later Q*bert; i could play Q*bert all day on a quarter and i kept my local arcade open more than an extra hour while i racked up the highest score on their Ms PacMan machine - ever.

NOT old; young for a very long time; of course i remember Lunar Lander. Do you remember Sega's Grand Prix?

Actually im 100% certain that i played ALL of these games (that showed up in the USA)\

i lost interest in arcade games in the early 80s and got an Atari 800XL

I had the Coleco pong, Odyssey II console,Atari 2600,Intellivision, Atari 5200, colecovision, Atari 7800, Sega master system ect. ect ect. Commador 64, and the Apple II with a hard disk drive! also. Started playing in the mid 70's.

And yes I played that Sega grand prix, that was the one on the 40 inch projection TV correct? I remeber a sit down model at my arcade.

Remember "Night driver" racing game. It had white dots for the road and a white car? I played that in my local arcade also.]

That Sega racing game is from the earliest 70s; it was mostly a sit down experience.

i had the original Pong game, had Atari 5200, but soon tired of consoles. i bought Sega's Genesis (Altered Beast shipped with it) but actually returned it - it was my last console. i've been a PC Gamer since my Atari 800XL
