Classic Gaming Thread For Fanny

Removed from the QoD thread...
That sounds like any number of games. My knowledge of arcade games is pretty much limited to what they had at the local bowling alleys, 7-11, skating rink, etc., and that doesn't sound like any one in particular.
My NES has been boxed up for a decade now, but I oughta crank it out sometime and see if it still works. Probably not since it was about shot when it went into mothballs...
8 bit games rule! Video games are not supposed to look like reality! Give me pixels as big as my fist any day!
I may have to work on making up an NES quiz sometime..... but not now. Gotta head to the Wal and pick up my paltry paycheck....

As for the Evil One,
Dude, you need to fall on by the house, my 'tendo is hooked up and ready to go!
And maybe you can answer something that has bugged me for a long time since you're all old school here. There was a console game in this restaurant I managed and after it got robbed one night and they tried to pry open the panel it was bent just enough that we could slip a long bread knife in there and click off free games. So I became a master at that game, ha! Anyway, I can't remember the name of it for the life of me and it bugs me when I think of it. Here's the deal:
It was a cityscape and you were a helicopter (I think, maybe a plane) that flew above the city at night and dropped bombs and had things shot at you. That's a bit simplified, but I can't remember all the ins and outs except it got really hard as you went up in levels.
I should probably start a new thread on old school video games, huh? Tell you what if you have an answer, start a new one and just give a "Don't answer until you've looked at today's QOD or some such".
