5 Greatest Vintage Arcade Games

Associatedcontent: When waxing nostalgic, many people can fondly remember the arcade games that unified them with their peers. Vintage arcade games that are still great today, and still have a built in fan base include many of the original arcade games that defined a generation. The arcade games have undergone rampant growth, due to the technology boom, but the simplicity of the games of the late 1970's and early 1980's still hold our imaginations.

I'm surprised not to see tetris there, if I was asked to make a list of my top ten faves it would probably be in it, I've always loved tetris, in fact I played it for about a hour today.

Great list though, and they are all great games.

5 Choices is not enough.

Galaga/Galaxian were a more refined version of Space Invaders, so what about Gyruss ? It took the concept even further.

What about the old side scrollers Scrambler, Moon Patrol and defender ???

As I said, 5 is not enough, with Galaga having a "similar" game mechanic to Space Invaders , I would of picked Asteroids Instead. Ah.. Those Vector graphics gave me a "full on robot chubby"

Never played Scrambler but man I loved playing Moon Patrol and Defender. Galaga and Space Invaders are my favorites out of the games mentioned. I want to see someone do an article on the evolution of shoot'em ups in gaming. Even though some great games have been released these last few years the genre still doesn't get the attention it deserves.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
