Never really got into the Assassins Creed games, but I have to say that everytime I see the pirate ship in Black Flag, it makes me want to play it.

I am not alone in this

Yep, Lode Runner is another game I had on the apple2.
Yeah, far too much of my childhood was spent in arcades so I have seen and played it, but I preferred scramble for side scrolling helicopter-like games, so chop lifter didn't eat too much of my money.
I think a friend also had the colecovision port that I've played.

Yeah, those jets were hard and annoying. I didn't get far. Didn't those hostages remind you of Lode Runner? Did you play the arcade port? That was cool.

I'm surprised there hasn't been an updated/reboot of the movie.

While you probably wouldn't use an arcade machine, an online PC game that uses a HOTAS... and perhaps Oculus Rift could be the testing ground. Say something like Elite: Dangerous or Star Citizen. You don't have the kid get into a stranger's car, did Alex never learn "stranger danger" lol. It could actually build into a franchise if you handle it properly...

star wars arcade kind of hit the spot, but the king has to be STARBLADE.

They need to make 'The First Starfighter'
BWHAaaa

newtboy: I have some great news for you
The website
http://www.roguesynapse.com/games/last_starfighter.php
has a playable version of the arcade game seen in the movie.

You can't leave with the coins either (legally). You basically have three options. Play until you bust, give the coins away to other players, or check them in with the arcade and they'll be available to you when you visit again (but they charge a "storage fee" for that).

They won exactly zero money, unfortunately. The only thing those coins are good for is more play in the arcade. They can't be traded in for prizes or anything of value, or even any "side" payouts like with pachinko.
They had fun though, and that's what the arcade is about!

This is why I have mame with all the arcades downloaded..I love to just browse through games by release date and experience the changes in audio and video from the beginning to modern day 2d.

I did too, so I bought a 'Black Knight' years back, one of the first talking pinball games.
It's also a great reason for a trip to Portland, there's an arcade there with room after room of 80's video games and pinballs.
