you remember in the 80's pacman, Space Invaders, Ya Kung Foo etc

Well what was your favourate.

Mine was that game called Carnival, you know you had to shoot items and the flags, ducks used to fly down and eat your bullets, when you completed the round you had to shoot a bear fo rbonus points.

There was also an american Football one I liked but was rubbish at it.

Also i used to like Track and field.

No. You started with a small ship to blast away with then after a few rounds you got the chance to dock with a second ship to increase your fire power, a few more rounds and if you didnt get killed a chance to dock with a third ship..... megafire power!

It's absolutely astonishing when you consider that the original Pacman by Nintendo is about 35KB in size....f*** me, you can't type a Word Document for less now. Just shows how the whole memory thing has changed. My first PC had 128kb hard drive.

My Fav arcade games were....

Pacman
Space Invaders
Dig Dug
Gorf
Galaxian
Missile Command
Pole Position
Outrun
Asteroids
Paperboy
Donkey Kong
