Brings back memories, as I played everything except Boot Camp and Cue Brick in arcades. Well, not really Pooyan. I played that on a Trash-80 Color Computer 2.

I don't recall ever beating stage 3 of Roc 'n Rope. I loved that game for some reason though. I think it was the rope. And getting annoyed the first time an enemy grabbed it.

I didn't realize Pooyan had a vertical screen, since I'd played it on a home computer. (Or a "My family not only can't afford a C64, they won't even buy a Vic-20" home computer.)

Missing in Action was every bit as bad as you portrayed it. I'd forgotten about that game. There were so many of those soldier games, after all... POW, Rush'n Attack, Contra (arcade), etc... And even some of the bad ones were better than Missing in Action.

Star was both my favorite and my nemesis in Yie Ar Kung Fu. Several years ago, I played the game again on an emulator with an invincibility cheat. What is a "Feedle"? Apparently it has something to do with being able to launch images of yourself at your enemy.

I played Time Pilot I think in a pool hall? It was either the only machine there, or there were a couple of machines. I'd go there to play Time Pilot. I don't even remember how I got there, or got home afterwards. Too long ago.
