Cam develops a bit of a gamer crush... **Nerd By Northwest #181 – “In the Presence of Greatness”** _(Click on the image to see the full-size version)_ <a href="https://images.hive.blog/DQmPaPyZ81zm8j9ujANLvHAkcb9HbbM4cG53HeQjwJajYtj/NBNW0181.jpg"> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmPaPyZ81zm8j9ujANLvHAkcb9HbbM4cG53HeQjwJajYtj/NBNW0181.jpg"></img></a> --- Most of us who were kids in the 80's had a favorite arcade game. While it's hard to narrow it down to just _one_, "Discs of Tron" is definitely in my top five... right along with "Willow", "Strider", "Space Ace", and "Cliff Hanger". The last one, "Cliff Hanger" was a rather obscure laserdisc game (like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace) that used animation based off of a couple of the classic "Lupin III" anime films (mostly "Castle of Cagliostro"). When I think about it, I was pretty lucky that my corner of Alaska had such an insanely wide variety of video games when I was growing up. At any rate, my eventual goal is to have these five games (at minimum) in a prominent place in my own private man-cave. And I'm talking the original arcade game cabinets... those cheapo replicas they're selling at the local Walmart are for posers! 😉 --- _Want to see the other Nerd By Northwest webcomics?

I was reading about Pacman being 40 years old. My favourite was the vector graphics Star Wars that you sat in. I, Robot was a strange one and Tempest was cool. Not that I was any good at any of them.

"I, Robot" is one I've actually never seen or played before. I looked it up, and apparently it was a somewhat rare game. Guess it didn't make it up to Alaska's arcade rooms...
