Top 140 1980s Arcade Games

Ойындар

The golden age of arcade video games was the era when arcade video games entered pop culture and became a dominant cultural force. The exact time period is disputed, but key moments include the release of Space Invaders in 1978 and the vector-based Asteroids in 1979-moments made possible by the increase in power and decrease in cost of computing technology. This led to the rise of both video game arcades and the mention of video games in other media, such as songs, cartoons, and movies like 1982's TRON. Other iconic games from this era include Pac-Man, Defender, Galaga, Donkey Kong, and Centipede etc... #1980sArcade #ArcadeClassic #OldSchoolGames #GoldenAgeOfArcade

    I put arcades in 3 categories: Early 80s, Late 80s and Early 90s. Then after that they really started to disappear or became niche. Mark my words. Some day we are going to have a VR system/game where you are in a arcade and you play classic arcade games within the VR arcade game.

    What gets lost during that time from say 1979-84 is that pinball, once the former king of arcade games, had to get creative and quick to compete. That's when things like multi-levels, magnet ball-saves, and multi-ball play bonuses started to show up. The only "novel" thing prior to this in pinball was "Playboy" in 1977 because it was the first one to have a digital scoring display.

    Lembro do tempo em que vivia nas casas de fliperama. Lembro de uma máquina que tinha um jogo de nave muito legal, mas hoje em dia, mesmo pesquisando e garimpando na internet não encontrei mais esse jogo (detalhe: o jogo, após destruir todas as naves inimigas, aparecia no topo da tela um boneco mexendo os braços e que descia em várias direções tentando acertar o jogador e a gente tinha que atirar e destruir esse boneco alienígena). Infelizmente não lembro o nome desse jogo e até agora não encontrei nenhum vídeo dela na internet. Se alguém souber ou conhecer, compartilha aí, pois hoje temos os emuladores que nos ajudam a relembrar esses tempos bacanas.
