Aw man, you have this whole 80s list and not a Pac-Man game on it?  And you've even got access to Pac-Man Museum+!

I never saw Front Line in arcades as a kid.  But one Taito game I seemed to see everywhere back then was Alpine Ski.  Not sure why.

I was never very good at Xevious but was always fascinated by it for some reason.  

Dragon's Lair was more fun to watch than it was to play.  A lot of arcades back then would put a second screen up on top of the cabinet so you could watch people play it over the crowds.

Marble Madness is probably my favorite Atari game.

At first it was hard to play Gauntlet in the arcade because it was so crowded.  But one time as a kid, some really nice teenagers invited me to play it with them.  I was surprised because usually I'd try and avoid the teenagers in arcades because they were so much bigger than me as a kid.

1943 is one of my all time favorite shooters, even to this day!

The movie is from the 60s and has a lot of the style of humor as other movies at the time, like It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.  But that's a good thing because It's a Mad x4 World is one of the funniest movies ever made.  Also that movie inspired one of my favorite cartoons: Dastardly and Muttley and Their Flying Machines.  Otherwise known as the 'Stop the Pidgeon" cartoon.

Oh my gosh that sounds so boring (kidding). :)  Unless you get to play as Mario or Luigi. :)

I like biplanes, too!  That's why Snoopy as the Flying Ace is my favorite Snoopy persona.  I liked biplanes as a kid, too.  One time I was watching TV as a kid and a live action movie came on.  I usually skipped out on live action stuff as a kid and only watched cartoons.  But this movie was "The Amazing Men and Their Flying Machines." and it was about biplanes so I watched it all the way through!  I usually would never do that as a kid!

I'm trying to remember which boss I got to in the Mario + Rabbids game before quitting.  I didn't like the game, but at least the makers of the game figured out a way to get me to try a strategy game.  Put Mario and Rabbids in it!  Such a weird combo.  I will skip out on the sequel, though.

That's why I call it glorfied Pong.

Here's my review of Duck Game:

A plumbing simulator would be Pipe Dream.  But I actually like that game.

I never got into NBA Jam myself.  It wasn't a priority for me to play at the arcade, especially since most of the time it was crowded by other players.  It was certainly a popular game, though.  It gets referenced and made fun of even recently, like one episode of Regular Show spoofs it.

I've reviewed most of these over the years.  When the Digimon cartoon first came out, my friends and I were into it for a while and we played the Smash clone and was very disappointed.  I didn't think the PlayStation All-Stars game was THAT bad.  Most of the other ones are OK to decent.  I hope I get to review Multiversus.
