Since those early days when the really interesting thing was free internet, I keep a folder with 1,500-plus-ROMS MAME Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator- (or whatever it is, computer emulation Software modern arcade of bars of 80) that includes almost all of the games that occupied an important part of entertainment throughout the chick of my generation, and whose magical simplicity cohabiting in the design genius .. . the ability to engage with them as if they were crack. And is that today, I must confess that these simple little games to play me more motivated than any modern product clean graphics, 4-D and interactive storyboard ... so today I will dedicate a post deserved navel-gazing and totally subjective to my particular ...
Recreation Top 10 of 80

First, and I suppose it is the most viejuno their "My Favorites" ... cite the "Deep Scan". Really difficult: Two buttons: Depth charge on the right and loads of depth on the left. The moving boat, submarines torpedoed you, and the "X" from time to time disturbed the peace of this peaceful war with its raucous noise and fast across the bottom of the screen. If you gave him, extra life. Not that I had a lot of science or that the parties came to be very epic, but it remains only to disconnect from a spreadsheet or a drawing if you like a drum head to work and need to restore blood flow in the veins surrounding the brain. I still use quite often (the game, not so much the brain).
catechism At the time of the movies on Saturday and dominated ngos, the most successful of all the games among children Lalin - I was in the old Satan's Game Room "was undoubtedly the appearance of Mario Bros. Primal jumping plumber, had the added attraction that enormísimo a 5 coin turkeys were playing Mario and Luigi at the same time. Thus, arriving at the machine, waiting for a partner so both can play two games, and the first to lose their dolls should cede the seat next to arrive. All very logical, orderly ... and addictive. I spent many hours playing between 12 and 15 who still came alone to the track 15 without major problems, and I still find amazing the way you improvise requires each time; Among crabs, butterflies, stalactites, fireworks and coins pissed uncoordinated moving in rhythmic coordination particular ... no two situations of equal risk. The best set of 8 bits of history for many, and certainly the most "playable" for all time.
Wonder of wonders was also the Rally-X: You were moving through a garden labyrinth haunted by bad lousy red cars that were uninsured and those who could fart while you get fuel. Your mission was to collect the flags that you radar positioned on one side, and the S bend paid while the other gave you points L the Travel Club. I do not remember which bar the way home to school had ... the fact is that when I played my first game, and had so dominated the game mechanics, which turned around the track and came to the gardens brown back ... in which was my best game and still my record. Buti was this ... I remember as if it were today I could reach 131,000 points in my first game ... to never do it again as well. Unfathomable mysteries of the human game.
And at that same bar, after the Rally X, came the Phoenix, which gave him too hard. In this classic kill-Martians, I ran the control and my colleague shot and used the shield. The truth is that we compenetrábamos Chachi, and the games lasted a good half hour. If I have complete control to manage today day, can not take even two minutes, but it is a game that I also remember with great fondness. Even the best of this game, was still to come, since a few years later came the "Son of Phoenix" ... that, in a version "reinvented" maintained the same pattern: Martians attacking up and down, and you who held the position at the bottom of the screen, and had a shield that had to be dosed. In this second version, because of "limited time of play," ie with a "final ship" that, kill, ended the game so do not spend more electricity than investing ... we spend many more hours playing 18 years for which we had dedicated to his predecessor at 10.
afeitábamos And when we arrived other winds. From Russia without love for our economies came the "digital Vodka" that drunk an entire generation: The Tetris, with their chips were falling even when not playing. How very addictive, joer. Remembered at home not long ago a machine of Tetris, battery that was in the bathroom several years, and managed that the most and the least in the house ever had to do "rehabilitation" to get up after a visit to Lord Rock ... excessively long because the family record was at stake ... But what I will tell you of Tetris that you do not know.
Another that caught me in the twenties was the Cabal, even I think at some pafeto and drinks will I have missed a few games. Strafe like you're Rambo to everything that you put forward, and had also grenades and occasionally, you liked the "sumachigan," as Manquiña. Arranged in groups of 4 tracks with a more difficult at the end of each group (A gun, a submarine, a machine gun) ... required skill, constant attention ... and a graceful somersault when things got chungas. In it, Rafa was a Maquinon, I must admit I took more money reaching the end of all tracks. Addictive like few others, too. The best of the war, for me.
But I keep the best memory is, of course, the "Pipedream". Very simple in its approach, but convoluted as any when things heat up. The water came out, and had to create a driving time with a minimum number of parts louder and louder. The thing is also complicated when the space was limited and that required to build crossings and cruising around. I played in the café Copacabana, and remember that the five dollars that I left over coffee to give me an approximate time of departure: No Appreciation want to go, but I assure you the bar was losing money on electricity. Even some "co-pilots" would come to me for ideas, and one has come to make drawings on napkins of my solutions to each track. Where there is a puzzle game ... others are removed without any doubts. (Always talking about my likes and without any objective basis.)
And when I almost did not play the machines, parriba 25, "either because they had access to computers or because the case was ancianizando "I do not know how, I was captivated by surprise for a couple of years Bomberman. At that time, preparing exams, and every day, before the round of typing and study in the evening, entered the old Bowling few little minutes in previous plan to put a few time bombs. And in this time that my love for video games has stagnated (of which I am somewhat proud of what in terms of increased productivity may mean), there were a few notable exceptions that caught my self attention: the first Tomb Raider, one of a helicopter that was called Extreme Assault, Sega Rally itself ... but already, or were games for other platforms or with other approaches, which fall outside of this post (take this opportunity to recall the nature navel-gazing and totally dependent on my memories of this text) and were already out of my childhood and adolescence.
PS: And thank goodness that appeared later and Lemmings Mega Drive version (my nephew), I am sure that if today found the original games for PC ... I happen again, as so many times, all night running to the exit stupid rodents, preventing suicide.
