juicelee Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 yes mate i grew up in the 80s we had a big seafront with loads of different arcades and my dad would take me down there most weekends. played most of the classic when they came out, space harrier ,outrun , dragons lair when it worked lol. most games where 10p & 20p ago apart from the sitdown cabs like out run which was 50p, and then the £1 games started i think the 1st one was mad dog mcree. that hurt when you only got £5 pocket money lol. but the one thing was all the home console and computer versions was so iinferior to the arcades, that why mame such a blessing to many cos you cane play the games we grew up with.
gigapig Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I do remember the first time I saw Dragons Lair, it was by the front door of the arcade with a big crowd around it and must have cost 50 pence instead of the usual 10p. We would have watched it for sometime before having the courage to put in what little pocket money we had and death came swiftly. There was of course the kid standing next to you saying " you have to move the stick at the right moment" as the machine made that dull tone to say too soon it's not Hyper Sports your playing. I think I only played it once until recently.
Metalzoic Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I think I only played it once until recently. Dragons Lair I could beat on a single credit. Same with Road Avenger. No idea how much I had to spend to learn them though.
juicelee Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 cor completing dragons lair in the arcade in the day would of been hard and expensive lol. i could complete dragon lair & space ace on daphne on 1 credit in the end but to few days of hardcoreness . dragons lair 2 will be my next goal. i love these games , the artwork is somthing else, they are trying to make a film at the moment but did not reach the goal on kickstarter. i think they gonna retry . hope it gets made
