(8,601 posts)The one video game I mastered was Tron. My high score at it is 1,000,187 points. I was trying to get as close to 999,999 as possible to put it at the top of the high score list. I was on the spider stage and I accidentally shot one too many times. My score hit a million and rolled over, and then I immediately lost my last life. The game then informed me that my score of 187 was "not in the top 100 scores." I was so pissed off I didn't play the game again for years.
I ended up here in Las Vegas in 1982, when I was 13. I just about lived in the arcades of the Strip hotels and elsewhere through my teen years. I was also one hell of a pinball player by then.
Some of my other all-time favorite games include:
Super Pac-Man
Jr. Pac-Man
Baby Pac-Man (with the pinball table attached)
Gaplus (Galaga 3)
Zoo Keeper
Tapper
Time Pilot
Thief and N.A.T.O Defense
Ponpoko
Bosconian
Anteater
Amidar
Reactor
Peggle (NOT the modern one by PopCap, something completely different)
Block Out
Arkanoid
and I know there are dozens more, but these are just off the top of my head.
