Piastre Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 For those of us who came from the bps (Before Play Station) era, and can remember when little black and white pixellated men moving jerkily across our TV screens could keep us enthralled for hours, or waiting 30 mins for our tape-loaded C64 game to (maybe) load successfully, which old computer, Atari and coin-ops do you have the fondest memories of? I ask this seeing the thread on PC fighting games and remembering the thrill I got recently playing the MAME version of KARATE CHAMP (without doubt the greatest fighting game EVER made, anywhere, anytime, ever ). I still remember the thrill of somersaulting over my opponent and then getting the full point with the spinning kick to the head! LOL
spinninggumby Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 I used to play Karate Champ on my Commodore 64. I never could beat that damn bonus stage where the bull comes charging at you. yea those were the days!!! hehehehe 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND'

Iron Arahat Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 Master of Kung Fu was also a cool coin-up game. Hundreds of guys would rush your Bruce Lee look alike, only to be killed by a punch followed by a "wuddah". There was also a stage where you fough a Kareem-Abdul rip-off character...

spinninggumby Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 I remember Kung Fu, hehehehe. Every time you beat a boss guy then you got to climb the stairs to the next level. Remember those little guys that used to flip on top of you? LOL Ah, Street Fighter. That is like hi-tech and new school compared to a lot of the old stuff! Street Fighter was the beginning of refined, one-on-one fighting. What about Pitfighter? Even that was fairly new compared to Karate Champ or Kung Fu. Geez even at 22 u guys are making me feel so old. At least I won't hafta start looking into high-quality dentures until I hit 25.

Bon Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 I've got an atari with some kind of karate game on it. Even though it was hard and I sucked, I still liked it 'cause I got to beat a few people up before dying. I can remember spending hours playing Street Fighter II on the SNES, and I'm motivated to get it out right now. Also, pince of persia on our first computer which I have no idea what it was, only had a 40 meg hdd though. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
