At this point.... why not....

Milon's secret castle.

Spy Hunter, Galaga, Pole Position, and Dragon's Lair were my games...I'd stomp yourguts out in those. In 1983 Dragon's Lair cost $0.50 per play...expensive.

 

Dragons lair isn't a game, it's an interactive movie.

 

You beat it by memorization, nothing else.

Holy crap man! I remember that! It was impossible.

I think that was a joke because 800,000 atari cartridges were just dug up from a landfill.  Most (maybe even all) of them were for the E.T. game, which was a game with so much hype and was so terrible it is often pointed at a main cause for the video game crash on 1983.

 

The Angry Video Game Nerd has been making a movie for 8 years about this (and of course this was all a rumor until they just dug em up).  Funny how they did dig them up just when he finished the film.

If only the internet existed back then (well it did, just not for consumers), you'd have been able to watch the whole thing on one credit!

god I sucked at that game. I was more of a Kung Fu Master kid

The money I made hustling that game was crazy. I was 14 playing a dollar a game against grown men. Ahh the good ole days.

We had an Atari 2600.. first game purchased was Donkey Kong. Also, could beat Superman in literally under 2 minutes.

 

 

I beat ET multiple times.... but my favorite on that was the Raiders of the Lost Ark game. Friggin Tetses flies though... Evil incarnate!

 

 

 

When that broke, my brother and I bought a Colecovision with odd job money we made. Had the super controllers that looked like boxing gloves, which were nothing short of awesome.

 

 

But my arcade games were Battlezone and Tron - I'd whoop anyone's ass on those. Lightcycles were just too cool.

I was a legend on video games. I would have random strangers PAY me to get to the end of games.
