I played all of them, I was ok at Donkey Kong, Galaga I was never great at. Gauntlet was hard and I didn't last long. Remeber the Star Wars game where you had to take out the death star?

I loved that game. There was a trick that made it much easier. If you didn't kill the last two "bee" ships in level two they would eventually stop firing. Kill them then, and no enemy would fire at you for the rest of the game.




I liked Double Dragon (pretty much any sidescrolling button masher honestly), Smash TV, and Operation Wolf.

I never put in enough quarters to find out. I basically went to the mall with 1 to 2 dollars and that had to last a while.

Don't remember Smash TV or Operation Wolf but Double Dragon was fun.

Smash TV was great. it was the sequel to Robotron, the first twin stick shooter. there was a third game called Total Carnage that was in the same vein. those games were hard (Robotron hardest) but playable with a lot of practice. the Ikari Warriors games and Guerilla War were unrelentingly hard as soon as you start. those were the games that had spinner-knob joysticks controlling multi-directional fire.

heres an interesting tidbit for you gauntlet fans. since both gauntlet arcade games were hits, there was a 3rd gauntlet game that got approved for development. but while the game was being made, the Midway company got bought out by Bally. the new management scrapped the idea of a 3D gauntlet and made the game a sci-fi shooter instead. the final product was called Xybots.
