Title: What are some other competitive, non-perfected games similar to Donkey Kong?
Post by: Tryken on November 19, 2014, 04:36:19 pm

Loving my battle with Donkey Kong, just wondering what other classic arcade games are actively played? Preferably, I'd like games that aren't heavily patterned like Pac-Man (one thing I love about DK is that it can always surprise me with its randomness), haven't achieved a perfect score, and aren't only tests of endurance (like easy games that are reserved for marathons).

Thank you in advance, everyone!
