| Topic | i didn't "get" beat 'em up games |
| SumerNivek 05/10/20 7:43:56 AM #15: | When they first started "hitting" (pun intended) arcades, they were a breath of fresh air for the newer generation of arcade-goers. After the golden age ended in '83 or so, arcades started to downsize due to "samey" games or completely wacky games. When Double Dragon came out...wow! I still remember the first time playing Double Dragon at a small bowling alley arcade. Completely mesmerized! And then when Final Fight came out...beat 'em ups just really took off. I can understand if you didn't grow up with them or weren't "there" when they first started coming out in arcades, you may not get them. But for those of us who did experience this new type of arcade game at the time in the mid-80s, it was pretty exciting. And then SFII came out... :D --- "One more thing. If anything, they're Wisps in Eredar form." -Posted by Doilyn on 5/9/06. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
