what is the best classic arcade games and why?

Question

i liked pacman and galaxy myslef and the first street fighter

i also liked the old nba jam series games although and double dragon

Answer 1

There are lots of Pac-Man fans; I was never into it myself.

My personal favorite is Galaga.

Second is probably Centipede.

Asteroids deserves to be in the top three.

There are lots of others beyond that, from Joust to Space Invaders (THE classic, but not necessarily the best), but I'd say the above three are the ones I remember most fondly, playing in the mid-70's, the heyday of arcade games.

Answer 2

My favorite arcade games were
Berzerk
Discs of Tron
Street Fighter II (both Original and Champion Editions)
Double Dragon
Shinobi

Much as I loved Berzerk, I never was very good at it, but I got really good at the other four of those. The "Golden Age" (pre-1984) games where you'd most often find my initials on the high score table were probably Discs, Moon Patrol, Bump n' Jump, and Gorf. I was never a huge fan of games in the Pac-Man or Galaga series, probably because I was horrible at them. :)

Answer 3

Ghosts n Goblins
Double Dragon

Answer 4

Donkey Kong

Answer 5

I like the original super mario, zelda, street fighter, and metal gear.

They were awesome back in the day, and i still go back and play them every now and then.

Answer 6

I was a personal fan of pac-man, but Pong had to come in second, and Asteriod in third....I think they had a lot of fun in them....as for Pac-man, I wanted to beat the world champion Alexander Seymor Smith the original A.S.S.

Answer 7

I'd have to say either Super Mario Bros or Pac-Man or DK or Joust or Gauntlet

Answer 8

I like Mario, because he can walk left and right and he can jump, collect coins, 1ups, etc. and kill Parana Plants

Answer 9

I love bust-a-move, i still pop quarters into it when i see it just to see if i can beat the highscore on the machine

Answer 10

I loved Asteroids, used to play on it all night, I was addicted to it. And also Space invaders.
