Fantastic resource of my favourite arcade game ever:

I've never played the arcade game except on emulation, but it's still a unique game. I'm impressed at how well the Atari 2600 version was pulled off.

The 2600 version is the only one I played, but it's one of my favorite games on there, it's so well done and all.

It's VERY well done. I honestly hadn't played it until tonight. Very challenging.

The arcade version of this game has incredible depth. And it's one of the few games which is 100% pure skill. It's really enjoyable game as soon as you master the 5-button control system. It's easier for the Asteroids and Space Duel players... they used similar button layout.

Yeah, that is a great site, I've been there before. Until recently I had a ful-size Gravitar cabinet in great condition, but sold it as I'm moving soon and didn't want to move it yet again. Someday I'll setup a nice classic arcade and will definitely include a Gravitar among the games.

 

It is a difficult game, but one that can definitely be "mastered" by skill alone (well, maybe some luck also on hte invisible levels)..
