Do you remember the viking football game "Pigskin"? It was like football with swords, spears, trolls and such?

I picked up a PC version of Marble Madness from the DOLLAR STORE late last year that is AWESOME.

[phee]

Satans Hollow is pretty obscure.... I like that one.

[Fierce Critter]

Heh. There are lots I REMEMBER but either didn't play or care for that much.

Remember the Journey game, based on the group? Animated bodies with photos of their faces for players? I didn't like the band at the time, but when I got all fanatical about them about 7 years ago, I tried to track down one of those games and found a few.

My sisters and I used to go to Mike & Sylvia's Pizza Parlour & Arcade/Pool hall on Southfield Road in Allen Park. I think they were owned by a genuine couple named Mike & Sylvia, and at one point, I heard they split-up and it just became Sylvia's or something, and turned into a strictly pool hall.

Chuck E. Cheez & Showbiz were too freakin' loud & busy for me.

Wow I remember that Journey game... that was weird.

Do you remember an arcade type place called "The Simulation Station"? It was around the early 80's and had like this big motion simulater ride in it.

[Fierce Critter]

That sounds familiar. I'm sure I never went, but the name sounds very familiar.

OMG - yes...it was on Liberty where Border's is now...they had one of those uber-cheesy simulation rides where you get into the big-egg shaped car and it rocks around on hydraulics.

That is where I developed my addiction to Tempest

It was UofM colored...I had forgotten.

Man, I loved the Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom game. I think I made my local arcade rich when I was a kid, off that one game.

Gauntlet - Blue Wizard needs food badly!

Gradius - Weird frickin' Easter Island head things.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo Edition - I wasn't the best at the arcade, but I was darn close.

Time Killers - Cartoon decapitation. Need I say more?

[kellygrrrrrl]

asteroid

[phee]

Remember "time pilot"?

[Shade Everdark]

Totally. It rocked.

I mean, what's not to like about flying around a spaceship blowing up biplanes?

[phee]

I loved that game

[soothsayer]

Galaga and Rampage were always good. I also liked this other game which the name isn't coming back at this moment. Even though I never got past the first level I still played it every chance I got.
