ha, I just played Nam 1975 like 5 mins ago on MAME :D

One of my all-time favorites I only played once, and I've never seen it since. "Ninja Clowns", circa '92.

Double Dragon!!!!!!!!!

Me and a friend of mine spent so much money on that game!!! Do you remember the devil with the spear near the end of the game? Grrrr that still makes me mad!

What about Shinobi?????? Another game that ate all my quarters.

Paperboy is one of my favorite arcade games. "Lemme see you hang-10!"

Rampage and Double Dragon were okay, and Gauntlet brings back a lot of memories!

This game was an obsession for my buddy John and me:

We first found this in an arcade in Times Square, and played it for about four hours. Travelling back to Staten Island (yes, we went all the way to Times Square just to play video games), we talked about how great it would be if one of the places in our area were to get this game. About a week later, a deli right around the corner from us got Karnov. We were so good at this game, crowds of kids would gather to watch us play, and try to get tips from us. We had it down to a science. I haven't seen it since. :(
