I have this for my Commodore 64, alas it is broken.
Wizad of Wor.

Did any of you play it? It was the first simultaneous multiplayer game I remember playing. You were this ghostbuster kind of guy walking around in a pac-man maze, shooting ghosts (or your partner).

Look at that screenshot. That is why I consider NES the true start of gaming.

I think I have that in Midway Arcade Treasures 2.  Didn't really think much of it, though I don't think I tried it with anyone else.

I have it on Atari 2600. I haven't played it in years, though.

Classic Game Room did several video reviews on Wizard of Wor recently:

Ohhh Thanks. That PSP video kicks ass. Notice the recoil when you fire.  I just noticed I have a sealed copy of Midway Arcade 2, I ha no idea it had Wor on it.

Hey, if anyone else has a memorable old game feel free to jack this thread.

SNES is the true start of gaming.

The SNES by its very name was just a Super NES.

I was addicted to the Atari Lynx version of Rampart back in the day. An awesome game, indeed. Happy

Rampart is not on the Midway 2 disc. But I did try Wor. The greatest is stil there, but the dual shock controller is less than accurate for this game (a little loose).

 It's on the first Arcade Treasures collection.

I have that one as well, though I can't find it. There goes my afternoon, I'll be looking for it.

Hey, I was just thinking, this could have been the very first deathmatch shooter.
