It was SEA WOLF.

 

Man, the good old days of old style arcade games. Nowadays, you go into these arcades at the bowling places and...boy do I feel like an old-timer. They are all tricked out games eating up quarters and dollars like crazy. And, they are so technologically advanced you can't tell what is going on half the time. It's like "insert your bank account number to continue playing". I miss the good old days where I could go to the local 7-Eleven, insert a single quarter into a game like Stargate, and play the game for a couple of hours on one quarter. Or, whatever pinball machine they had where I could pop credits in that thing starting with one quarter and play for hours. Ah...those were the days.

 

I believe the name you are looking for is Birdie King.

 

OP is old.



circa 1966

Guess who's back on IGNORE?

 

The first arcade game I ever saw was in England as a kid, and it was some kind of depth charge game. I was too afraid to play. But whoa, that was awesome.

Game 2 was after my first console, and after pong, but it was in Florida and they called it space Invaders. I had no clue what I was doing, what joy stick was, or how to even read the instructions on how to to play.

I think the third game I ever saw was missle command. And god help me, there was a rolling ball. What the hell?

Probably the arcade game I was most comfortable playing was pac man, but I doubt I ever made it past the 3rd level at the Mark Twain Steamboat Funhouse.

I was enamored with Zaxon as it was a 3-D game. And just looked cool. But never played it. Donkey Kong was right next to it at the arcade. but that took too much timing for me to try.

I never understood my friends fascination with street fighter, but I would go with him to the arcade and watch him pound quarters.

I was never into Mortal Combat. So missed that era.

I saw Dragons Lair once or twice, and I did think that was pretty cool at the time.

Outrun to me was an evolution. 3-D driving. That was the one game I wanted for my first console, and I got it on intellivision eventually.

I saw Joust for my first and last time in a 7-11, and thought that looked like fun, but never played.

 

The first game I ever saw was a dot moving across the screen. lol

 

Bro, go to Joysticks close to Minute Maid Park on the first or last Friday or Saturday and play all the old-school console games for like $20, all nite. I am sure they have Tempest!
