Arkanoid was one of the first games I got for my NES as a kid, because I thought the included paddle controller was cool. Plus, the arcade version of Arkanoid at the local Pizza Inn was one of the only games my dad would play.
Believe it or not, the Nintendo DS version of Arkanoid has some AWESOME music. I liked the music so much in the game that I imported the soundtrack! Taito rocks!
In 1984 I was 8 and was probaby mostly playing games on our Apple ][+.
Have you played any of the Sam & Max point and click games? I love those. Everyone thinks of TellTale as The Walking Dead makers now, but before then they made some pretty awesome stuff. Sam & Max and the Wallace & Gromit games are my favorites.
Hmm...looks like Pac-Man Dash is based on the new Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures cartoon. Have you seen that? I'll be reviewing the cartoon sometime in August.
Yeah the whole Street Fighter 4 updates are almost a joke by now.
Yeah, I'm more familiar with the Capcom characters in this one. They just happened to pick Namco characters that I don't like/know as much!
In Namco X Capcom, Mega Man Volnutt and Roll from Legends were a team. Tron Bonne was in the game, too, as a single character.
I went to Video Games Live a few years ago. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet Tommy Tallarico there. One of the games he did the music for was Pac-Man World, and he did a great job with it. When I discussed it with him, he said it was really fun to play the opening theme with Dweezil Zappa!
Two words: Dancing Mad.
I saw it this past weekend. It was a lot of fun. i called it: "Anime, The Movie."
