Which one takes your fancy? Pacman is so friggin hard!!! But I find a nice game of Tetris quite soothing.

"Tetris"
You see this classic everywhere, on phone, on tv, on some of the newer consoles, etc...
This was my favourite game before I got my first big GameBoy, AND I have the tetris game on GameBoy.
I STILL play tetris on my friend's phone during break time.
It's the best classic ever made.

Easy wins have never been my style
Tetris is one of the greatest of all time. L Block was also the winner of last years GameFAQs character battle. :P

I still play Tetris on occasion, I had a record on a Thunder Arcade version on an older site a while back, but as always it got broken as that's what records are for...

Awesome game, best old school game for sure. ^_^

None of those. I love Joust. Haha.

While I do enjoy a good Pacman game at the Dentist's every third Sunday annually, Tetris really is a fun and addictive little game.

PacMan. But I like Tower Defense the best! The game is fun, and it requires strategy.

Huh, never heard of that one, then again, there are plenty of arcade games I've never heard of...

I don't think Tower Defense is an arcade game, though! :P

I liked Tetris, too. But not the one where you can't have the HOLD option; that thing was vital. I die more easily without it.

Now, Snake, that was a fun and simple game that I liked! it had nothing more than a snake eating some dots, even easier than PacMan, but boy was it addicting!

I played Donkey Kong some years ago. I lasted about to 12000 points and lost everything. Still a fun game, though.

I got to 300,000 points in the real Tetris, but it got really, really hard after that. Have you seen the Grand Master mode of Tetris? The last round is INVISIBLE!

Only Japanese people can be this good, since they designed the game! :P

That's because Japanese people don't have jobs other than video games. Seriously, GIRLS play games over there and its not weird!

Girls play games over here, and it's not that weird. Why do you think forums have so many girls?

Anyway, I think arcade games were most peoples' first taste at video games. At least, it was mine. I can't even remember what my first was, though.

Well, it's certainly strange at my school. Almost no girls gave even the smallest concern for gaming at all.

That's how it's like over here, too. But I'm sure arcade games are familiar to the girls. They all know about Tetris, or PacMan at least.

Yeah, my friend said she played it so much as a kid, but now she could barely find one anymore.

But it's rare to find a girl who plays RPGs. Arcade games are just those good old non-violent games that parents let their kids play at a young age, so unless you grow into loving video games, they'll most likely be the only games that you have or ever will play.

Oh, you mean back when it was OKAY to spend money? Now, it's just a waste.
