Arcade Madness Brackets
So, I was thinking it’d be fun to make a bracket for arcade games. I thought of 32 of the best games from the golden age and put them in some March-Madness-Style brackets.
I thought it’d be fun to put the match-ups here and have us all vote on the games. I can do four pairings at a time, let them ride for a week or two, and then do four more pairings. I’ll keep track of who wins, and then in a few months we will have the board’s favorite golden age arcade game.
The ones I included in the mix are:
Dig Dug
Time Pilot
Mr. Do!
Bosconian
Ms Pac Man
Galaga
Q*Bert
Gyruss
Mappy
Space Invaders
Elevator Action
Galaxian
Track & Field
Robotron 2084
Tron
Pac Man
Asteroids
Moon Patrol
3
Jr.
Burgertime
Tapper
Defender
Pole Position
Centipede
Frogger
Mad Planets
Zoo Keeper
Tempest
Joust
I’m sure there is a favorite from people “here and there” that I missed. There always is. But, I think these are the best group of 32 I can think of. Any one of them can make it far. Also, there are a few nice dark horses.
And 32 games make for a clean, balanced bracket.
I will TRY to pair them up as best as I can.
