I've been playing these games for hours these days, the're among my 1980's favourite arcade games. And Jungle King and Kung Fu master too. Talking of this period, what are you coin op favourites? Do you still play them?

Quite a few. All the pacman variations, DK jr, burger time and Popeye are some of the arcade favorites. Combat! for the atari 2600, for intellevision bump & jump, lock & chase and some odd game were you play as dracula and have to chase people and get blood in order to live. Beware the cops and sunlight!

Centipede. Period. I used to be a champion at Centipede. I had the highest score for a couple of months running. Bwa ha ha! Sadly, I can't really play it anymore... I can't find it in any arcade, it's a dedicated cab, thus more or less ruling out my buying it, and all of the " home versions " are extremely inferior ( besides, it isn't worth playing without the trackball )

Mappy! I have that music engraved in my memory!

Also, Gyruss, with its awesome music and flashy graphics.

And a LOT of Commodore 64 titles of course.

Ha, I think I missed that generation by a little too much, since Super Mario Bros. is my earliest memory. I'm happy to be literate in terms of knowing everyone you mentioned, even Mappy. I just need a trampoline...

And as for Burger Time...! Game Players editor Bill Donohue made it clear to me that it was one of the most important things you could ever play--I recall it showing up in one of those arcade classics, to boot. Though again, like the Nintendo wristwatch games that fetch so much now, I think these were all before I really played games, quelle domage.

I've got the Atari 5200 version of the game, AND a working trackball. It may be fortunate it was the only game I had that used the trackball, because all the other 5200 joysticks were pieces of crap that broke so easily that I can't even play Space Dungeon anymore (FYI, Space Dungeon plays quite a bit like Smash TV with the double joystick style going; I loved this game to death until I finally couldn't scrounge up another joystick where the joystick was horribly biased to one direction).

I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.

Juan, if you liked Bump'n Jump, you should try "Mad Gear", it plays similar, and it's really good. And try "Radical Radical" too!

WAAAAARRRGHHH!!!! Augh, I've searched for the 5200 trackball for some time, but I've never found it. :*(
