Default Old School Table-top Arcade Games

Dug these out of the cupboard today.
Anyone else still got their old arcade games?





Great fun!!
Took me right back.
Wish I still had my Pac Man & Astro Wars too.
Check out the E.T. stickers on the Scramble; they glow in the dark!

Hehe

I used to have Astro Wars, Scramble and Pac Man (the oval plastic yellow one!)



I also had a driving game with a miniature steering wheel and gearstick. It was a real moving road and you physically moved a car from left to right on the track....what was it called ffs?!?!


edit...found it xD




I also had one of these 3D jobbies

I've got one of these in my bedroom somewhere. It was before my time though. Think it was my big bro's, or even my big cousins.

Not really, but the 3D effect was awesome. True depth perception and just that kept me coming back for more

Me too, there was a guy at school who had one and I was so jealous.

Remember those little LCD pocket games? I had a racing one, you just moved left to right to avoid other cars.

I had a Frogger one too that was broken, but then my dad fixed it but my mum didn't know and thought it was broken still and threw it out.
