Unusual Pre-Crash arcade and home games
I've got an assignment from a class I TA for:
Bring in unusual simple games as examples for programming.
I can bring in the following hardware:
Laptop w/MAME and joypad, 26/5200,Inty 1,CV,Vec,C64
Some Ideas so far:
Illusions CV, any Vec game (for the visuals) Robotron, Inty Maze-A-Tron,
Tron Solar Sailer, I Robot, Zookeeper
The more cracked-out the better. Simplicity is desired.
Lick me! LICK ME!!

Ballblazer for the Atari 7800 - A noteworthy attempt to create a 3D environment with 2D hardware. Very abstract looking in 2-player mode.
How about QIX. Was that pre-crash?
Vectron (Intellvision) was always noted as a good example of abstract graphics and gameplay.
"I am a cipher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce."
Just about anything by Jeff Minter on the C64.
I can think of 2 great ones but they're both on the Atari 8-bit computers:
"Necromancer" and "Lifespan". There MAY be C-64 versions of these...anyone?
Both of these games are totally unique.
As far as an arcade games, "Chiller" would be a good pick just for the shock value alone. ;-)

Seconded. Sheep in Space springs immediately to mind.Originally Posted by Mayhem
Amidar is very simple. Ladybug adds a certain twist to Pac-man, and makes programming a bit more involved.
