Mario - I played that game for hours with my oldest son when he was just a lad. Even longer when he went to bed and I had the game to myself.
I could never beat him though.

in no order some old favs of mine.
toki,outrun,hard driving,the table style space invaders,defender,final lap,street fighter,
Was that the one with the monkey/gorilla type creature - that was a fav at the 'arcade' in the video shop at Covingham, when I was at school many years ago. In no order
- Tank Attack - Where you peered into the scope and drove about
- Gauntlet - 4 Player Mayhem
- Double Dragon - 2 Player Mayhem
- Space Invaders - Classic
- Outrun
What was the name of one of the 1st moving seated games where you played a blond haired chap who flew about shooting at dragon and bean shaped things? He used to make a uggggghhhhh noise when you lost a life.
Got to also mention Star Wars (the original) as worthy of a shout as well.
Space Harrier? It was better on the sit down that the stand up version that went into the local chippy. Top 5 for me (in no order) - OutRun - Double Dragon - Strider - Rampage (the original, not the wanky world tour ones) - APB (great fun!) |

As did I (when it was Gateway), on the dairy bit (not behind the meat counter), Weds Thurs and Friday evening. Then I defected to Tesco before retiring from retail to attend Uni.
No way! I wonder if we were there the same time ... I quit about 95ish, just after it changed to Scummerfield ... |

Doubtful, must of been about 1990 when I defected to Tesco. I was at uni 92-95. My mum still lives in gnats dick from there (Lidl isn't the same though), hence why I got to play on the arcade machines in Solo while she was shopping. |

My first proper computer was an Amstrad 6128 with disk drive! We also had a tape player which took forking ages to run. I used to load up Outrun, go for a bath and the game still wouldn't be loaded!!
I used to play some footy game called Match of the Day (I think), Gauntlet, Green Beret and some olympics game which I was rubbish at. The worst game I think we ever had was a game called Chamonix challenge where you had to climb a mountain, truly woeful!

Ahhh I was over the other side of City Bank, but my aunt and uncle still live within spitting distance of Lidl now ... I've not been in, though ... |
