I played it a few times when it first came out, but never got hooked. It was revolutionary for its time though.
ReplyDeleteI've only heard of it. Never really went to arcades.
ReplyDeleteI knew of it, but we never played it. But yes, Don Bluth animation makes me smile, too
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I've never played a video game? I can close my eyes and picture you nodding.
ReplyDeleteI never played that but I certainly remember when the only way to play good video games was at the arcade.
ReplyDeleteDon Bluth built the foundation. Loved him.
ReplyDeleteI never really enjoyed playing it. It was too much money to wait through most of it just to push the joystick at the right moment. I used to watch people play it sometimes, though I never saw anyone beat it.
ReplyDeleteLooked great but probably the most frustrating game ever.

I wasted enough money on that one that I beat it several times and only lost if I mistimed certain steps!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my brothers spending their money on arcades.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing it, but I never played it. I used to knit while my brother played his Nintendo, which is pretty much the extent of my video game prowess from 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI am so ashamed to say I've never played any games in an arcade, but only 'cause they came along after I grew up. Or maybe there just wasn't one near me. That must have been so much fun for you.
ReplyDeleteI was always stuck on PacMan and Skeeball. LOL
