My favoritest games, from my youth to the present:

1. Star Wars (even though, as a little kid, it was a bitch to reach the controls on the stand-up version)
2. Sinistar (great voice!)
3. Street Fighter II
4. Aliens versus Predator (an arcade game with a decent plot!!!)
5. Crazy Taxi
6. Ocean Diver ( a recent shooting game from Sega–you go underwater and shoot mythical creatures with a huge pneumatic gun. Loads of fun, but $1/credit eats into the bank account too fast)

Everyone thinks it’s something that crawled out of my twisted brain, but I actually saw it, dammit. Not _Splatterhouse_, (Which was actually pretty cool) this one seemed to use the Crossbow engine . . .

The game you are thinking of is Chiller. Very gross…

Personally, I always enjoyed super-speed Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Dragon’s Lair, Crystal Castles, Gauntlet, Rampage, Popeye, Time Pilot, Joust, Frogger, and Dig Dug.

**Exerizer** AKA **Sky Fox**

Was a sort of galaxian/galaga thing, but had huge end-of-level meanies.
