The 80's are calling. And you can answer without all those quarters or game tokens that you blew waiting in line to play this game without an idea in your head on what to do next. I think there was a MACH 3 sit-in console right next to it the first time I played. A better-off friend of mine actually bought a cabinet version of this game, so I eventually did learn how to beat it. But man, was it something just watching this thing in demo mode in the arcade.

I do recommend this, but more for historical reasons than anything. I'm not a huge fan of the game, but it was an icon of it's time. So if you've got nostalgia for this game or are interested in the history of gaming then this is worth picking up, otherwise you can skip this.
