Arcade Games That Will Transport You To Your Childhood Years

Playing games is a passion for some and just a fun activity for others. Today on PlayStation, Xbox and computers thousands of games we can find. However, this was not the case once. We had arcades where we could play a number of games.

We are sure that many of you remember the arcades, which we can call the ancestors of PlayStation and Xbox. We are sure that many people first time thanks to arcade introduced to the game world. We have compiled for you some of the first games we played in arcades that drew us all into the game world.

The game that turned us all into circus acrobats: Circus.

Circus, which was first released in 1984, almost imprisoned us all in the game with its iconic music. We would get angry as our souls decreased, but at the same time immersing ourselves in the rhythm of the music We would keep playing.

While doing tightrope walking While the countless monkeys we came across were jumping from one ball to another, we somehow got lost in the game and did not understand how the time passed.

If Rafael Nadal saw our tennis performance, his eyes would fill with tears…

The game, which debuted in 1983, had a very simple interface like almost all arcade games. There were 5 difficulty levels in Tennis. many of us Even though we had a hard time at the 4th and 5th levels We wouldn’t stop trying.

Thanks to our tennis skills, which we develop as we play the game, we all feel like a part of ourselves. Rafael Nadal, a Maria Sharapova we felt like

Of course, we haven’t forgotten Super Mario, one of the first games that comes to mind when Atari is mentioned.

Yes, without a doubt the most beloved and most played arcade game It’s Super Mario. Since 1983, Super Mario has been offering us things that we cannot find in many games nowadays. There was love, friendship, fear, whatever you might call in the game.

That moment when we realized that we were going to defeat the monster and save the princess was inside all of us. some sadness would come. When we rescued the princess and brought her to our castle, we were proud as if all our efforts had paid off.

Did the producers of the King Kong movie also play Donkey Kong in their time?

Climbing the stairs has never been so easy to reach the upper floor hard and fun had not been. Although our gorilla friend in the Donkey Kong game sometimes tried to scare us by rolling barrels at us, we always managed to get over the obstacles and reach the princess on the top floor.

Again, we could see the Mario of Super Mario, one of the legendary games of that period, in this game. The biggest reason for this is This was the first time Mario has been seen in this game. Of course, since Donkey Kong is not as famous as Super Mario, many of us thought the opposite was the case.

Tekken was the home of true fighters.

Tekken, which entered the lives of many of us with an arcade, is now serialized. continuing to be played one of the rare games. We had a lot of fun playing arcade games with our family members and friends.

mutually chosen characters, skill battles We didn’t realize how time passed. Tekken had rivals back then, though not as much as it does today.

Still a legend: Street Fighter

One of the main games that we can count among Tekken’s rivals was Street Fighter. Although a new PC game has been released in recent years, Street Fighter has been overshadowed by many fighting games.

With the truck driving effect that scratches our brain: TANK

Maybe the best part of the game to develop a variety was to have. Some were able to destroy all enemy tanks and end the game, while others could create a protective shield around us.

Of course, if you focus too much on upgrades and destroying enemies. the symbol we must protect It wasn’t that we forgot. Indeed, just like us, our enemies also had a purpose.

Those days when we had an arcade argument with our parents because of Tetris…

The arcades appealed to people of all ages. One of our parents’ favorite games was undoubtedly Tetris. The game was played so much and loved so much that it still continues today. Many similar games are in development.

The game, which was developed in 1984, which is similar to other arcade games, has been the same in all series since the day it was released. nostalgic mood continues to protect.

We didn’t learn marksmanship in PUBG.

Duck Hunt, the ‘duck shooter’ game, which has taken its place among the first games that come to mind when it comes to Atari, surprised us at that time. When most of us shoot with the gun in hand how we shoot ducks We couldn’t believe it, we used to think how much technology had developed.

When we spend all of our shooting rights and fail to shoot the ducks, the dog we saw from the beginning of the game reappears. He laughed at us sarcastically. When we encountered the dog’s smile a few times, we were almost alienated from life.

We couldn’t find the action in Contra in any movie.

Those who like action movies may have played Contra quite a bit for a while. Because the game is like a like in an action movie it felt. Enemies coming towards you, obstacles that you have to jump and jump, automatic fire weapons and flames… There was nothing.

Of course, it is not possible to compare it with today’s shooter or action games. However, in time We can defeat any monster with a single weapon. Contra’s place will always be different for us.

Mortal Kombat is still one of the most loved fighting games.

With Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Sonya, Kanyo and more We met for the first time at the arcade. Now, we all know the legendary Mortal Kombat characters and even their stories.

A lot has changed in the game since the days we played in Atari. Many of the characters we’ve seen in the past It’s not in their last game. On the other hand, many movies of the series were shot and we had the opportunity to watch different characters in these movies. With all this, Mortal Kombat managed to make its name known to the whole world.

Our little red car and Forza Horizon’s (?) nature images…

Before there was Forza Horizon, Need for Speed, and more, there was Road Fighter. Maybe in the game we play from a bird’s eye view we couldn’t modify our car but we were having so much fun.

Thanks to the environmental views that change as you progress through the game different worlds We were going, we were feeling the racing feeling to the fullest. The game, which was developed by Konami in the same way as Contra, managed to write its name in history as the first racing game of the company.

The days when we dropped the bomb and ran without looking back…

There is no doubt that Bomberman the importance of timing taught. From time to time, we detonated ourselves with the bombs we set up, but as a result, we somehow found the exit door.

Of course, with a lot of monsters roaming around break all the stones and find the door it wasn’t very easy. However, Bomberman was still one of the most entertaining arcade games.

The game that turned us all into Tarzan: Adventure Island.

Adventure Island, where we ran around like Tarzan with our little feet, was quite reminiscent of Super Mario in terms of gameplay. So many of us want to take our victory lap after saving the princess in Super Mario for this very reason. to this island full of dangers we would come

One of the biggest features that make you love the game is that you can find it on the road. from the eggs we kicked open all kinds of gifts were coming out. The most fun of these gifts was undoubtedly skateboarding. Although it may seem simple to us now, it was very nice for our character to have such abilities in the games at that time.

We used to do parkour sport on Excite Bike at the time.

Again, something we are not used to seeing in arcade games. was driving a motor. Because in many games we were either driving, fighting or running around for a purpose.

Excite Bike, which moved away from a classic racing game in this sense, offered us a different experience. The game was very popular at that time and became one of the most played arcade games. But now many of us remembers even his name we are struggling.

Today, gamers can access countless games from their computers or consoles. Most of those who were children in the 90s and 2000s grew up with arcade games. Today, we went back to our childhood by taking a little journey with you. So what was your favorite arcade game?
