76: GAL'S PANIC

The game where a spider would try to prevent the player from undressing pretty Japanese girls.  :teddyr:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

77. EMPIRE CITY 1931

The one where you shoot unwary mobsters hiding behind glass windows.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I knew there was a rational reason behind my hatred of spiders!  :hatred:
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

78. SEA WOLF (1976)
Probably the first video arcade game I ever played.
It had an eye catching cabinet.

79. Actual Pinball machines.

We already had at least one pinball machine entry; can you think of a specific one you enjoyed?
Fill it back in as #79 when you can think of one; in the meantime I'll just move on to #80.

80. DONKEY KONG JR. (1982, Nintendo)
Good sequel to Donkey Kong with the novel twist of the hero in the first game being the villain in the next!
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

I don't think this was named yet:
49. CRAZY CLIMBER (1980, Nichibutsu/Taito)
Great game where you climb skyscrapers while avoiding condors, objects dropped on you, closing windows, etc.



Oh man I remember this one...I used to pay it a lot.  I remember the people throwing flower pots out the window and down at your character, and the windows shutting on your fingers, and the "Oh noooooooooooooo!!" as your guy fell to his doom. It also involved a measure of physicality as you had to work two joysticks to get your guy to the top. Good to see this one made the list!

81: CRAZY TAXI

I loved this game, especially the sit-down version. I'm glad I had my license when I first played this.  :teddyr:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

#100
82:  CADILLACS AND DINOSAURS.

"Oh this time you've gone too far, slime ball!"
"XXXX You!"  :teddyr:

We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

82: PHOENIX

I hated trying to get to that *&^%$#@ alien in the centre.  :teddyr:
Phoenix was #37.
Try to find a new #82!
In the meantime:
83. SPACE WARS (1977, Cinematronics)
Not the first game of its type (spacship vs. spaceship) but it had all sorts of game variations (gravitational pulling-sun, superfast ships, etc.)
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

84. Q*bert
This was a favorite of my son's. We played many a game of this at Chuck E Cheese.
