Arcade Games of all time #11

This game has been revamped into a cinematic hit that was released winter 2010 this game is TRON even though I have not played TRON before in its arcade cabinet but i have played it on Xbox and my dad has told me about it and from what it seems it should be on this countdown. This was a viewers choice game and after reading up on it it should be because it was an EPIC choice. TRON was created in the 80's by Mid-Way and whats so unique about this game is its joystick which looks like one thats featured in a fighter jet. The objective of the game is basically survival you should not get caught at the face of the opponents light wave and thats really about it thanks viewers for selecting it and sorry for not having much information on it.

This game is slightly more modern than what we have talked about but it is a blast to play but it is an arcade game and it deserves to be on this countdown. Hydro Thunder is an intense boat racing game that you can usually find at your local movie theatre or arcade like Chuck E Cheese. The over all goal of Hydro Thunder is to win the race no matter what. Hydro Thunder was created by Mid-Way game company in 1999. Hydro Thunder I think is famous for its actual race tracks especially the track of Flooded New York. This game is really simple it even does not have crazy complicated power ups, there are only 2 a red and blue booster. The blue booster is for a quick acceleration boost while the red booster is for a more continuos boost but the red boosters are really hard to find. Cool thing about this game is that there is a sub woofer inside of the seat which almost gives you a sort of in game experience. Though i have yet to see the sequel there is rumored to be a rare version out there called H2Overdrive so since it is a rare play why not spend that last quarter?

Donkey Kong was a game developed by Nintendo and produced in 1981. One cool thing that I have learned about this game is that it opened doors for a character "Jump-man" who we now know as Mario. The objective of Donkey Kong is to move around a platforms while dodging obstacles one being barrels so Mario or Jump-man can save his damsel in distress. Even though Mario is the character you move around with it is called Donkey Kong because you must face the huge beast ape Donkey Kong in order to save your lady friend. This game was almost an immediate hit with Donkey Kong as well as Mario  being featured on a variety of different media sources like TV shows, Cereal Boxes, and many more places. But like most sparks of fame some people want a part of it those people were Universal Studios who assumed Nintendo violated the trademark of there movie King Kong luckily they were ruled incorrect thus Donkey Kong's stardom was once again fulfilled.I personally think Donkey Kong opened the doors for Nintendo's fame and has come out with a variety of versions for many different gaming systems since 1981 and hopefully will continue to be a great success.

COOLEST NEWS EVER

I know this may be a little off topic of my blog on arcade games but i just got the new Little Big Planet 2 for PS3 and it is crazy good I highly recommend buying this game even if you have yet to play the first Little Big Planet its fine because it does not really follow a story line unless you play story mode. So i guess this was a quick PSA for the world check the game out its epic.

Arcade Games of all time #14

Street Fighter II is the sequel of the original Street Fighter and is considerably more popular. Street Fighter was created in 1991 by Capcom. This game as a huge step up mainly because of the overall character selection with there own super epic special moves. Street Fighter II is credited for starting the fighting game boom during the 1990s and since then it has been Camcom's best selling consumer game as of 2008 and has evolved into three different sub sequels with new rivals and alternative gameplay makes this the arcade nerds dream. When I think of any Street Fighter game all I can really think of is the whole idea of taking my anger out in a way safe way while doing moves I would love to be able to do on that one bully at school so i think one reason of this games success is the whole idea that it hits home for the people who could not normally defend themselves kind of a portal to a whole new world. One cool thing about Street Fighter II is that the first boss's name is M.Bison who is based off of the famous African-American boxer Mike Tyson but unfortunatly they could not use his name due to a likeness infringement lawsuit.
