But what is GFF's favourite classic game?

Ms. Pacman. I'd call it a classic, even though it's simply an edited version of the original Pacman. Each level is a different maze, there's 31 levels per variation.

Variations. There's Strange, Big, Crazy, and Arcade. Each of which have 31 different mazes which open up for a large amount of replayability. 2 player mode is fun too; a 2 player cooperation game. Instead of killing eachother, you're actually helping eachother against the ghosts.

As an alternative, a large portion of NES games can be inserted here. It really depends on what you consider "classic" and from what year onwards they're considered not classic.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The variations of which you speak were from the console versions.

Yeah, I didn't actually like the arcade version. The Mastersystem, Genesis and SNES versions(all made by Tengen) were great. I don't play it anymore but my mother does, it's the only thing she ever doesplays.

I'm going to mention Bubble Bobble before anyone else. 100 levels of PURE INSANE action. Even if I played this at the arcade it wouldn't be possible to complete, as there's levels(in the 90-100 period) which require you to kill ghosts trapped inside of boxes, with lightning bubbles. I was never able to complete Bubble Bobble without using saved states, and for some reason everyone keeps saying that the game was easy.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
