Nigger what are your favorite retro arcade games? I think Star Castle is severely underrated.
Nothing beats classic Millipede for me.
Some people complained that they ramped the difficulty up too much by making enemy patterns and appearances so chaotic, but isn't that the point? Everybody had already mastered Centipede, and Centipede's mechanics were so exploitable that you could easily set up conditions for playing the game indefinitely.
Of course, there's also Gauntlet and Gauntlet II. I'm more debated on Gauntlet II though. The difficulty was clearly balanced to be as greedy as possible, because food is made to appear so disproportionately late into the game that you'll literally die from starvation if you don't feed the machine more quarters.

Yar's Revenge started out as a Star Castle port. Played Gravitar?
I have some arcade machines and it's honestly hard to say what makes a game special in a cabinet... I love Cadash so much and so so so many fighting games but I'll say Tempest for the color vector monitor.
Motherfucking BOSCONIAN

missile command. it's got constant intense challenge and was prob one of the first games with any kind of subtext

If you used the names of the enemy bosses you could be them. I was Nazrac all the time.
Scary that I remember that, it was like 24 years ago.

As a kid I'd hear this from an arcade on the boardwalk and die inside if I couldn't go in and play it.

I used to play the PC version of that game. I still have it but I can't get the damn thing to install on my laptop.

I'm looking real hard at the PC version since I have a 98se gaming rig. Seems easier than finding the video cable for my 32x.

Space Lords. My buddies and I used to wreck the shit out of other players on this game.
