DO NOT POST ANY YELLOW-FACED EMOJIS EITHER. THEY'RE BASICALLY PACMEN AS WELL.

Hexbear emotes don’t count as emoji because they’re not Unicode characters… use those Hexbear powers, comrades!

The problem with PacMan is he's a cracker. :lmayo: We need a POCMan

Arcade games are the original P2W microtransaction games none of them are good

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I upvoted you but I totally disagree, arcade games are great, you just need to get into the dip switch controls and turn on free play when the manager isn't looking.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Microtransaction games aren't bad only because of the literal financial cost of the microtransactions themselves, they're also bad because the presence of the microtransactions informs the design of the game itself. Arcade games are designed to eat quarters and waste time, so even if you're playing them pirated on an emulator they're still designed around that exploitative gameplay loop.

You need to play Boogie Wings.

The Simpsons

At the end, you kill Mr. Burns.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It was so fun when I finally got MAME emulator set up just so I could finally play through the whole Simpsons arcade game with virtual quarters to keep continuing to the end

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

i'm very glad we didn't have ikaruga machines at my local arcade

i would have been banned for yelling at them lol

All you need in life is Shadow Over Mystara by Capcom, hands down the best beat em up ever.

the union steward for the area I supervised ended her memos with "God Bless the United States and it's Military". she ended up getting fired when an Army-reservist Manager caught her taking dozens of unauthorized smoke breaks.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

The fact that so many books still name Pac-Man as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" arcade game ever only tells you how far arcade games still are from becoming a serious art.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've never had the Pac-Man fever, but I am a pinball wizard

I really love asteroids deluxe. Galaga of course. Marble madness was amazing even the music was dope but it's hard to emulate without a trackball. Rampage and gauntlet OG multiplayer..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Galaga is my favorite

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

If this is real, your steward is breaking the law and you can probably threaten them into protecting you under "duty to represent"

I LOVE D&D Tower of Doom. Even owned a 2-player arcade cabinet of it at one point.

I've also lost many hours to 1943, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and Virtua ACAB 2.
