"What Games Make You Feel Most Nostalgic?"

"What Games Make You Feel Most Nostalgic?" (Watch on YouTube)

I don't recall where the arcade itself was, most likely at one or another of the now defunct malls that were all the rage back in ye olde days, but this was the first time I ever recall going to an arcade... probably something like 35 years ago or so. I specifically recall playing Joust, Battlezone, and some kind of weird, hybrid video game/RC car demolition derby kind of thing that I still, to this day, can find no mention of online. There were several video screens set up around this large table with little RC cars on them. You controlled your RC car with a steering wheel and floor pedal and forward/backward gear stick attached to the screen. The little green rectangular blobs on the screen (mostly) matched the movement of the real RC cars on the table. I've never seen anything like that before or since.

Beyond that, I recall playing Gauntlet, among other things, at the local Winn Dixie before it closed down, the original Street Fighter (both the six-button version and the version with the two big buttons you had to actually hit at different strengths to get light/medium/heavy punches and kicks) at a local Maxway or Family Dollar or something like that, and, the big one for me, the original 4-player Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game at Showbiz Pizza (our variant of the Razz-Ma-Tazz/Major Magic's/Chuck E. Cheese type of place), back during the height of popularity of the 1987 TMNT cartoon. And played Street Fighter II, Final Fight, and Mortal Kombat for the first time at Walmart, back when the Walmart we used to go to had arcade machines, decades ago, before they tore it down and built a Supercenter a half a mile or so down the road (which did not have arcade machines). For a couple of years, even my high school had a few arcade machines in the cafeteria that they'd change every month or two, stuff like Mortal Kombat II, NBA Jam, Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom, and X-Men: Children of the Atom, among others.

I know I've mentioned most or all of this shit at some point in previous posts, but meh, whatever, I had another opportunity to do so yet again, so here it is again.
