What some some of /vr/'s favorite single-screen games? e.g. Centipede / Millipede, Galaga, Mario Bros. arcade

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 4 15:15:33 2017 No.4305024 >>4305006 Bomberman obviously. Joust is also up there I guess. Scorched Earth/tanks/worms style games too, if that counts.

I can vouch that the NES version does at least. You clear 8-4 and get treated to a short ending cutscene, then the game starts up a more difficult second loop.

Ninja Boy for GB is generally the same game, just with remixed levels. It also has an ending.

This game looks pretty nifty. Reminds me of the Crossroads games on Commodore 64.

C64 had a lot of my fave single screen games.

Pancho. Q*Bert on speed.
Rug Rider. Flying carpet collect em up.
Dr. Destructo. Airplane shoot em down.
And the aforementioned Crossroads games. Maze shooters, like Wizard of Wor but faster and more strategic.

I really like Saturn Bomberman, which is often considered the best bomberman game but just as often considered overrated. It plays very well in emulators since it's a graphically simple 2D game, even on the computers of years ago, so I used to play it all the time with classmates when I was in school.
Bomberman '94 is the other one that is frequently called the best of the series. It's actually very similar to Saturn Bomberman, without the ten player support of course. As far as I can tell Mega Bomberman is basically the same game as well. Super Bomberman 5 gets talked up around here but I've never tried it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 13 01:39:56 2017 No.4324290 >>4321963 My favourite was Super Bomberman 2, it had a good amount of depth with the items and stages, but was before they introduced the awkward animals.

I have gazed into your heart and I now know that you ARE my nigga.

I wanna tack on Ultimate Wizard to the list. His weird cousins, Jumpman and Jumpman Junior can come too.
