One game that I used to love watching was Capcom's Ghosts n Goblins, and I remember plucking up the courage to lay down some coinage to try it - I couldn't have picked a harder game in the arcade! Needless to say I didn't get far. <br /><br />Great to hear you got to blast through this one on the PS2 - it still plays great, and I love how fast and intense it still is!JP Mulvanettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381363705787780363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738025286483185751.post-17105329675395095812014-12-06T21:12:27.774-08:002014-12-06T21:12:27.774-08:00I didn't play this game in the arcade - ever, ...I didn't play this game in the arcade - ever, I think. I often wouldn't risk my hard earned quarters on an unfamiliar game because I didn't know how long I'd be able to play. (This was probably never better illustrated than my first - and for a very long time only - time playing Dragon's Lair. Stupid me thought you were going to be able to control that cartoon hero like any other video game - so the game started and I started yanking on the joystick trying to get that lummox to move the way I wanted him to - and that game was over in literally five seconds. *sigh*) However, I also got that Midway Arcade Classics for my Playstation 2 - and I spent many hours a few years ago blasting robots. This is a terrific post - I love the history on the games you dig up! Cheers!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
