What were some of your favorite 8 bit games?
I loved Miner 2049.

Chopper command was a good one. I also loved Karateka. ZZ Top Eliminator was great video game playing music.

Great memories. What I could have done with all of those quarters...
Inspired by the fun of 8bit.com (thanks for that), I searched for my favorite arcade game - I think it was the only one that I ever finished - Capcom's 1942, and I found a playable online version at arcade-gameover.com, along with some other great games, like Commando and Ghosts 'n Goblins. |

Ooooooo.... 1942... I remember playing that in the arcade a lot. 1943 wasn't quite as good, but I don't remember why.
