Top 3 Classic Computer Games

Gaming hasn’t always been hi-tech S.W.A.T. teams dropping through hatches and blowing a room full of X-rays to smithereens, as takes place in the majority of war games these days. There are some games, be they arcade games or old Sega games, that will never leave a gamers heart!

1. Pacman
2. Space Invaders
3. Sonic the Hedgehog

Pacman;
Pacman is often considered to be a ‘land mark’ in video gaming, developed by Namco. Pacman isn’t just a yellow emoticon chasing little dots and avoiding nasty ghosts! Pacman has been one of the most popular arcade games since it’s release in the 1980s and has inspired more than 30 official spin-offs and many more unofficial. On top of this, there is a whole range of Pacman merchandise including; t-shirts, ties, badges, gloves, hoodies, hats, figures, sweatbands, belt buckles and even underwear! Pacman has received numerous positive ratings.

Space Invaders; (*SI)
Space invaders is one of the most known arcade games in existence, beside Pacman and Asteroids. SI is a 2d shooter game, commonly available on handheld travel packs and mobile phones. My own personal experiences of SI relates back to a level where I had to shoot the burgers, comical as it was, it was fun and became very addictive in a very short time! If you go to an arcade, I can assure you there will be a SI game, it is in all honesty, the most addictive arcade game I’ve ever played! Space Invaders was first released in Japan but has since became popular worldwide.

Sonic the Hedgehog; (*Sonic)
Sonic is one of the World’s best known gaming characters, originally released in 1991 to rival the figure of ‘Mario’, Sonic became the gaming version of ‘The Beatles’. Sonic was then altered into several similar characters; Knuckles, Tails, Amy Rose. Although a classic game no doubt, Sonic is still recreated today. Most prominent being his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is seen as one of the main characters, sidelined with his original rival, ‘Mario’. The main aim of the Sonic game (original versions) is to collect the rings and defeat level bosses such as Dr.Egghead (my personal favourite!). Sonic has even been developed into a game for the Apple Ipod!
