Oh man! Tracer Hand wins with that hi-rez game wherein you're in the middle (ala "Asteroid") protected by the yello and orange force-field. Remember the one-eyed Alien that comes out and briefs you first? Awesome.

Even before I clicked on the link to this thread I thought "JOUST!" Funny it was the first one on there.

I was once addicted to Atari 2600 Ice Hockey.

I always liked Berzerk and Frenzy.

I was pretty good at Joust, which Alex started the thread off with. (My wife was a Dig Dug fan.)

Time Pilots was one of the best games ever made. Have there been other similar action games (side-view moving 360 action, etc.)?

Also I remember some kind of platform game where everything is candy coloured and abstract and you control a (something) and some of the surfaces are icy and slippery and some are really bouncy, etc.

I know this really narrows it down.

Also some game where you are a kid that blows bubblegum bubbles for flying, etc?

Great see Golden Axe and APB. What is this (posted above)?
