A far superior choice than having to interact with my peers whilst at the roller rink.<BR/><BR/>Number 4 is the old Guantlet which I never played, because it seemed to complicated, intense, and as noted- everyone watches you. They had the new Gauntlet at on laundromat I used to frequent in Chicago. I had an endless supply of quarters and you could save your progress. I beat the dragon at the end and could have sent in for a tee shirt. Having spent that much time and money was embarrassing enough without having physical evidence. <BR/><BR/>And I don't recognize the sounds, but based on your description I have to say #3 is Dragon's Lair. Rivaled only by Zaxxon for being too hard to even enjoy, but so cool you had to keep trying.Evil Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987640457889725677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-84338229945408670212008-01-15T14:41:00.000-06:002008-01-15T14:41:00.000-06:00Oh hell, the only one I knew was Gauntlet, and cow...Oh hell, the only one I knew was Gauntlet, and cowboy the cat already beat me to it.

I think the quarter-eaterness of Gauntlet was my main reason for not playing, too.<BR/><BR/>This might be the hardest of the quizzes, in that these kinds of games aren't as popular as fighting and shooting games.<BR/><BR/>In some ways that's kinda cool, so I can feature some games people might have forgotten about.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-71649227398586589052008-01-15T11:13:00.000-06:002008-01-15T11:13:00.000-06:00I didn't realize until after listening to all thes...I didn't realize until after listening to all these how little I played adventure type games. Most of these are familiar, but they don't jump into my head like the fighting games.<BR/><BR/>1). Don't even have to listen to the sound... from the scary pterodactyl line... it's gotta be "Joust"<BR/><BR/>2). Familiar, but no<BR/><BR/>3). again, very familiar, but not coming to me.<BR/><BR/>4). "Wizard needs food, badly!" I was always watching people too! I saw them dumping in the quarters and just couldn't bring myself to join in when Tempest was just around the corner. "Gauntlet"<BR/><BR/>5). And again, a very familiar sound... nothing there.<BR/><BR/>6). Geez... this one is right there... bad day for me.
