Tournament Arkanoid (1987, Taito)


Okay, let's just set aside the sock-floating sorcery and the roughed-up sneaker-wearing Italian cat for a moment, and talk about coins and flesh.

Scramble (1982, Konami)


"SCRAMBLE"
"SCRAMBLE"
"Enemy alert! Repeat, enemy alert! Astropilots,
man your aircraft -- and good luck!"
MAKE A MAD DASH
FOR SCRAMBLE!

"Captain Sharkfin!"

"Yes, Second Lieutenant Guppytail?"

"Sir, I understand I've only been at this station for an hour, but I have to state why our forces may be compromised."

"Good for you, Guppytail! Everyone, I want you to look upon the bravery of a soldier who isn't afraid to speak their mind if they feel it's for the benefit of the Glorious Space Air Armada. Go ahead, Guppytail."

"Well, sir, I don't think we're using our technology correctly. I'm not even certain this is technology."
