I was born in 1974. That means I lived this in real time. Try to imagine being a kid in the pre internet era. I would go to the local arcade with maybe $1.50 that I had saved by not buying snacks at school. There were the really old classics that had always been there - PAC man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Star Castle, Galaxian, Berzerk. And every few weeks there was a new game. So many were destined to be classics. Here is a list of games that one day just appeared for me to try. Qbert. Dragons Lair. Donkey Kong. Kung Fu Master. Karate Champ. Marble Madness. Gauntlet. Star Wars. Star Trek. Space Ace. And much later, Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Combat. What a time to be young.

Williams Defender ist the best arcade machine of all times. It was an international sensation when released in 1981. It has the fastest gameplay of any game up to now. It features the coolest sound effects ever heard in an arcade game. It has one of the best control sets ever invented and was one of the most addictive games at it's time. It was the most innovative arcade game at release date featuring a scanner screen, wide explosions, hyper space jumping, both side vertical scrolling, endless levels, destroyable planet surface, ultra aggressive and unique enemy behaviour.. and so on. It is the best grossing game of all times (earned over 1 BILLION dollars) and it is pure adrenalin to play till today because of it´s insanely fast gameplay. It is one of the most sought after arcade games in history. It is so hard to play for beginners, that the first ships will last no longer than 10 seconds playtime. Also to mention: It was the first arcade game that added the reason, why you shoot your enemies: Aliens want to kidnap humans and therefor you have to fight them. Williams Defender ist the true winner of any classic arcade game best- of list. This game is out of this world.

I think if you're going to give the Simpsons an honorable mention, you also have to mention the X-Men arcade game. Colossus and Wolverine were my usual team with me taking Colossus. Also wanted to mention that the original Ninja Turtles arcade games of the late 80's are what originally got me into the arcade's. Before that I was strictly a very young Atari gamer trying to beat Pitfall and laughing while I destroyed everyone on the bouncing bullets tanks from the Combat game.

Daniel Grace it takes time to get used on the controls. It wasn't hard for me as the control scheme was similar to asteroids.
