The laserdisc game that used Lupin III footage was called Cliff Hanger. I remember watching someone else play it in the arcade long before I knew who Lupin was.

Don't know anything about Galaxy Express 999, though.

On topic, my faves back in the day were Tempest, Dig Dug, Dragon's Lair, and Captain America and the Avengers.

Dang, this thread popped up again after five years. Holy cow.

By the by, no one got the number of players right for the two-screen X-Men game, myself included: It was six players, actually, those being Cyclops, Colossus, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler and (ha!) Dazzler.

Throw Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man on there from my previous post.

Yeah, the six-player X-Men game was totally badass.

So were the other beat em ups like Simpsons, TMNT, Captain Commando, Ninja Gaiden, and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.

    Pinball would have to be Attack From Mars! (klov.com). Up until a year ago, I'd spend about 10 bucks a week on that thing (RIP Playland), and it was a finals week tradition of ours (along with not shaving until your last final) to go play pinball before each final (to relax).


You sir, are awesome.

Pinball:

Doctor Who - Had a really easy multiball. Great sound effects. A little Dalek on top of the machine that would start screaming "EXTERMINATE!"

Champion Pub - Had a little boxer in the middle of the board and you "Fought" him by hitting him with the ball.

Whirlwind - Older machine with circular sections of the board that spun and a cartoon cloud with a fan in his mouth that blew air on you while you played.

Games: Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Joust, Dragon's Lair, Rampage, Splatterhouse, Q*bert

I also liked Hook, Addams Family, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Terminator 2, Gilligan's Island...hmm, you can pretty much tell which five year period I was into pinball.
Looks like it was the same five years as me. I just got Pinball Arcade for the PS4, which lets you buy emulations of classic real-world pinball tables, and I got Addams Family, ST:TNG, and Terminator 2, along with The Twilight Zone. I'm guessing there isn't much demand for the World Cup '94 table, but I'd like that one too.

Do they have Pin-Bot? I only played one pinball game on a regular basis and that was it. I LOVED that game.

The student residence I worked at while in college had Aerofighters. Definitely dropped many coins in there.

GI Joe, which my best friend from home and I beat.

The original Bust-A-Move, I welcomed all challengers.

And lastly, and don't judge me here, Pac-man. Went to karaoke with some friends, there was a Pac-man arcade machine there. I spent all night playing Pac-man because shut up about being social I'm playing Pac-man.

    Exactly. That's what we did. It's still in my friend's basement to this day. Eight Ball Deluxe. Awesome.


Ten years later and Eight Ball Deluxe is still kicking!

Power Stones 2. My friends and I would rent a dreamcast from blockbusters to play it after they took it out of the arcade. My brothers favorite was the Punisher/Nick Fury game.
