1. The best first generation arcade game was "Asteroid." Guys who liked "Missile Command" were dorks.
2. The best second generation arcade game was "Defender." Guys who liked "Tempest" were dorks.
3. The best third generation arcade game was a tie between "APB" and "Off Road." Guys who liked "Spy Hunter" were dorks.
A friend bought a full-size "Off Road" at a B/K liquidation auction and put it in his basement. That game rawked. If I coulda played it drunk in 1984, I would have.
