Pakku Man!

ToplessRobotPac-Man ghosts redesigned as Japanese demons? Yes please. It's only available for the next two days (from the time I posted this, at least) from Qwertee. The shirt is €10, or about $14 plus shipping, here.

It's killing me how many games I recognize but cannot name. I've played a lot of these games and saw these death screens a lot, too.

How about a collaborative effort? Ones I know beyond the obvious Pacman, Galaga, and Asteroid:

0:52: Raiden-X
0:55 California Driver (or whatever - arcade game with the seat and wheel)

I'm thanksing because, you know, Muppets. But the picture of the end result is p amateurish. There are jaggy outlines in a flash based app. There's no good reason for that. Otherwise, I'd totally be pimpin my Whatnot somewhere.

Yeah, the thing is it's not for generating pics, it's for designing the toy which you then buy. The cheap flash shit is just the preview.

Duh!

Obviously the first is Space Invaders

0:21 Gonna guess Tron
0:59 Alien or Aliens or something
1:01 River City Ransom?
1:16 Space Harrier
1:19 Gonna guess Golden Axe
1:26 Mortal Kombat
1:30 Robocop (2, 3?)
1:36 Super Paperboy?
1:45 Street Fighter 2

Definitely saw 1942 in there somewhere. Pretty sure there was at least one Double Dragon game in there too.

I played a lot of arcade games in the late 70s and early 80s, but I only know of a handful of games after that period, and even then it's by name only.

The video left out a couple of my favorite games; Spy Hunter and Elevator Action. I totally mastered those games.

By the way, though they are in storage, I still have an Atari 2600 with 150+ cartridges and a Colecovision with over 70 cartridges.

I also have an Intellivision (5 cartridges), SNES (+/- 10 catridges), and a Sega Genesis (4 cartridges) that I bought at a thrift store. All of them were in one box that I paid $10 for.

I recognise a lot of the games, most of which people have named already. What kills me is that some of them I know I logged dozens of hours playing but can't remember their names! Some may have even been named, I'm not sure....

What are the games at these times?

One of us is slightly off in the times, probably me! :)

It's the one just before Shinobi, the one with the little boy in the jungle?

And it's the one just before Gauntlet, with the ghosts and zombies and whatnot?
