Favourite arcade game of all time


...or favourite computer/console game.

mine would be 'Splatterhouse'. A side scrolling beat 'em up (but more like a slash 'em up because of all the blood and violence).

Those of you who can remember it would know that this game was seriously hardcore. from the character you controlled (who looked like jason from fri 13th with ice hockey mask and boiler suit) to the severed heads spinning round an up-turned cross in a church?!?!? it was just awesome.
one of the best bits was when you rescued your girlfriend (as the plot of all early games was) a demon ripped through her skin and was the end of level baddy! too cool and still gets played today because you all know about the mame thingy for pc.

i spent alota cash down the arcade for this when i was a kid nearly seventeen years ago.

nMe, I'm with you on X-Men and TMNT(the first one, the time travel one was kind of gay). That or Bad Dudes, which was also ported to NES and I played the shit out of that.

Hands down my favorite NES game was Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2... I was unbelievably stoked with Tecmo resurrected the franchise for Xbox and made one of the most kick ass ninja games ever... AND made the NES trilogy unlockable. Also, T & C Surf Designs game.

SNES, Star Wars trilogy... great shit. Side scrolling actioner, no flare.

Genesis- there wasn't a whole lot I was SUPER into with this one...

Apple computer- California Games... digital hackey sack, half pipe, BMX... dude... awesome.

I think my current favorite console game is Dynasty Warriors... I just like hacking up hundreds of dudes on a battlefield Chinese style.

My all-time favorite PC game is Star Wars: X-Wing.

I'm an SW nerd.

Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

Rampage ruled. I spent many hours playing that as a kid. I have it for playstation now.

Pinball rules. Every time I go anywhere that has a pinball machine I'm drawn to it and must play.
