What was your favourite old school game?
I was not an avid gamer back then even now. I was born in 1976. But like other kids, I was also hooked on certain games like Nintendo or Atari. Pac-Man? Cool. I kind of liked the Mario Bros, although I suck at it. Donkey Kong is also fun.. I dig Dig Dug too. But my favorite is actually a tennis game. I forgot what the actual name was. Very cool 8-bit stuff!
I never owned one myself though. Dad will not let me I guess. I usually get excited when my cousin comes over because he will usually bring his Nintendo game with all the game cartridge for me to explore.
Tech Republic is currently having a Poll on the Greatest Arcade games of the 80’s. So far pac-Man is the favorite.
You can view and vote for the poll from their blog on their website

Wow, we got hardcore playas here! My latest favourite is Worms World Party which I had installed in my pocket pc. I played it whenever I’m really not doing stuff like in the toilet, LRT, before sleeping….until I lost it during a heavy rain
My latest is my son’s game, the varmintz! You as the .. aikkk i forgot already
you need to cross a few obstacles, few angry men, animals even pig also there, i saw once, sonic also there inside the small car drive crazily across the road, jump the river and safely enter the dart like circle escape route. something like that. my son the champion again.
I remember my brother, who’s the same age as you was crazy about Donkey Kong (also belongs to friends) and we did have some game&watch thing but forgot oledi
Those were the days of simple gaming eh? You give those kind of games to kids nowadays, kena buang saja tu..
Jewelle- Oh. You have a brother? Does he have a blog too?
Times sure have changed. But these stuff are making a come back, just like fashion. last time, in the early 90’s, we will make fun of teachers wearing ‘bell bottom’ pants. Now, I kind of dig it.
Aiyo Kay, Jewelle’s brother is your classmate in St. Peter, Kudat la..
Remember I told you?
My game’s not listed…it’s GALAH PANJANG.
Gallivanter-..now that’s old school!
Awwwhhhh…. my personal favourite Dig Dug isn’t listed… ah well, it’s “others” for me then
How come nobody listed “main getah” or “main tapak”?
You know, the rubber band we use to tie vegetables? And then girls would tie the rubber band together, making a whole (err.. dunno what) long “thingy” where we can jump on it. Zero Point! even have Merdeka jump.
And who could forget “TAPAK”!!! The mini cards with pictures of Spiderman la, Superman la.. you gather the cards together and you slap your palm on the table. Whichever card goes upside down is yours! LOL!
