    Default Favorite classic arcade game by STERN

    Yes Berzerk and Frenzy were awesome but my favorite was Rescue for some reason

    Tazmania was fun too, kinda like Robotron.

    Frenzy (both the arcade and ColecoVision versions).

    Incredible replay value!

    I came here to say Rescue thinking nobody else would have picked it! Robotron with helicopters, how could it not be great!

    and lets not forget Minefield, sort of a sequal to Rescue but with Tanks, and a moving screen. You collect stuff on the ground while avoiding mines and enemies

    Berzerk is all I need. Frenzy just overcomplicates things.

    --Zero

    Of the games I've played and going by the wikipedia list around a 1/3 of them or so -- Scramble.

    Of those I have not, definitely Cliffhanger as I really am into Lupin the 3rd and it's chopped up from Castle of Cagliostro which is fantastic.

    Frenzy beats out Berserk simply because I can shoot that damned Evil Otto.

    It's a tough call for me. Choosing between Berserk & Frenzy is like choosing which one of your kids is your favorite. If I remember right Tutankham was also released by Stern. Personally Berserk & Frenzy are higher on my list for Stern gaming but Tutankham is in solid for 3rd place. The ColecoVision port of Tutankham was probably the best outside the arcade IMHO. The Vic20 version was not bad but the Atari 2600 needed some tweaking.
