First off- I'd like to say thanks to those of you who made the 'advanced play' video - hit 1000 views recently. When I originally started posting videos, I never would have thought Popeye would be my 'most viewed' video. I thought other games- especially this one- and others like Tron, Stargate, and some others I have up... would hit 10000 hits long before Popeye did recently. I guess when it comes to classics, the Donkey Kongs and Pac / Ms Pacs, etc- still rule the world due to popularity ...

One for the Gottlieb fans... best viewed in you tube 'full screen' mode There is an intro screen that has been cut out due to time constraints that basically explains how to play the game. Basic gameplay idea is similar to 'Defender' - save/protect the humanoids... Game uses a trackball to move Argus. is 'Defender' based- save the humanoids... Game uses a trackball to move Argus. Good gameplay, reasonable difficulty... worth checking out. Supposedly this game flunked during testbed play ...

One for the Robotron and Gottlieb fans... I got to play one of the rare 'Reactor' 'Skelly' machines in a local arcade back in the day- here in the homeland... while it was funny and somewhat interesting with its sfx, I found it a very difficult game (and I like to think I am an above average gamer, but no 'billy the kid' mitchell) This one from Skelly should have been released insetead of Reactor. Fun game - and a Gottlieb answer to Robotron in some aspects: Gottlieb's games were very ...

First off- I'd like to say thanks to those of you who made the Popeye video - hit 10000 views. To me- its a milestone... -Like a hockey player nets his 50th goal in a season and becomes part of a 50 goal scorer all time list. -Your favorite football qb passing for 10000 plus yards in a career, for an all time list -Or a game designer/team who makes a game that becomes a hit -Or a member of a band- who releases their first song to some success (I've been there, done it) A milestone- no matter ...

Tags: Tac Scan Sega 80s vector video arcade game

One for the vector game fans. The first Sega vector game I played 'back in the day', then came the great Star Trek. :) A great game with good sound effects (nice afterburner) + challenging gameplay. The object of the game is to keep your fleet from being destroyed. You can add addtional ships to your fleet by the press of a button. There are three areas, an overhead view, a sort of 2nd person forward perspective view, and a tunnel to pass through without hitting its sides and destroying your ...
