Favorite Manufacturer of the Classic Era?

[VectorGamer]

What arcade manufacturer of the classic era is your favorite?

 

My pick is Exidy - Mouse Trap, Death Race and Circus were some of my favorites and I love the graphics.

At the time, it was probably either Atari or Williams.

 

But these days, it's definitely Namco. They made so many great games.

Namco wins just for the greatness of "Ms Pac Man" and "Galaga".

True (even though Ms. Pac Man wasn't designed by them in-house).

 

But I also give them major props for the ones I'd never heard about back then, like Motos, Phozon, and Tank Force. They were so creative!

I think "Yie Ar Kung Fu" is my all time favorite Konami title. I was obsessed with that game as a kid.

Atari (for their System 1 games which I have fond memories of)

Konami

Exidy

Cinematronics, for sure. I could never get enough of those vector graphics games.

Hmmm...Atari, Namco, Williams, and Stern (just cuz I love Berzerk)...possibly Nintendo for the original DK.

[cimerians]

Namco\Atari

Williams

Exidy

Sterm

Nintendo

Sega

 

I liked them all but maybe in that order. Too bad Nintendo only had a few games but they were great.

[Ace_1]

Sega and Konami by far.

Namco, Galaga alone kicks so much ass, oh, and pac-man

 

But Atari's vector games ruled too. It's so hard to find those, but they were cool even so.

Hi Wolfy,

 

Thanks amigo. (^_^). Unfortunately, I've been resting at home. Sad thing is I won't be teaching in a classroom for at least a 1 1/2. I have alot of time on my hands, so I be playing video games for awhile.

Ventureline for looping (my favorite game on Colecovision), Exidy for Venture (my other favorite game on Colecovision), Gotta love Atari and Nintendo for pretty much everything. Oh last but not least the best game creators of all time,

Synapse software doesn't seem to be on the list yet.

 

What would my early years have been like without blue max, necromancer, fort apocalypse, pharoh's curse, or shamus? probably just would have bought a bunch of G.I. Joes instead, and grown up collecting dolls.

well they did manage a couple spiderman games in the 16-bit era that I liked. Soundtracks by Green Jelly
