I remember going through rolls of quarters on this one at the local arcade. Was the first live action video game that had put in, fucking loved playing this one.

Magnavox Odyssey with the overlay you had to put on the tv screen is what I remember.

Sunset Riders was the best Western themed game.

If you associate that video game with your childhood, you just might be young enough to explain the apparent clueless.

Probably. They had a few adoptions of it for at home. Nothing beat the arcade experience though on the big screen with the revolver

I played that game when I was very small, and it was in the Del Amo mall.

Did you draw from the holster or shoot from ready?
Didn't it have a prostitute that would talk shit?

Subterranean level.  Where the whole level is the speed bike.  I’ve beaten battletoads for Gameboy time and time again.  This level however I must not have the coordination

Only two games mattered....MANY quarters went into those machines.

Battlezone and Galaga

Oh man!!!  I loved that game so much!!!!  I always wanted to play it, it was always the 4 quarter or more game too!

There was another similar one, older, like mid 80's.. I distinctly remember the guy falling from the water tower after he was shot!  Looking for that one now.

My cousin kicked my arse Mon-Fri and the weekends on Pong.  I lack the hand-eye coordination he has.  RIP Tim.

BTW, I was too poor for video games.  I didn't have money in my pockets until after college.

Let's see...

1) Star Wars, in the cabinet that you sat down in. Old-school vector graphics.
2) Pole Position. I still remember the opening "POLE POSITION!" in the electronic voice.
3) Galaga and Kung-Fu, staples at the local skating rink.
4) TMNT the arcade game. Turtle Power!
5) Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road. Gotta hit that nitrous across the finish line!
6) Afterburner, in the cabinet that would rotate as you flew.

Game Terminal in Nashville has a TON of old arcade games, some for free, some that cost money, including some that I had never heard of, like Krull, and rarities like Discs of Tron.

90's laserdisc trash game, Lethal Enforcers was a better game by far.

Afterburner and Stun Runner are my two favorite arcade games though, they came out in the very late 80's.

This was one of my favorites.  After watching the movie, I dumped many quarters in it.
