Being a child of the 90's, I don't know much about the 80's except that it had RoboCop. However, I do know that it was also a period of videogames, many of which features 80's staples: ninjas, robots, muscle-bound guys, fast cars and muscle-bound ninja fast robocars. Anyway, which 80's videogame do you think featured the most of these elements? Personally, I think Bad Dudes was a prototypical example of this. Not only did it have a plot where the president is kidnapped by Ninjas, but it also ranked your bad dudeness, which was a factor in your quest to save the president.

So anyway, what 80's arcade game do you think was as rad as Bad Dudes?

If we're talking late 80's, it has to be a Ninja Turtles game. No but's about it.

Of course! How could I've forgotten Ninja Turtles? They were pubescant mutant ninjitsu-practicing turtles that spoke only in surfer lingo and ate pizza! And they had a cartoon and a breakfast cereal. So, yeah, I'd say TMNT was way radder than Bad Dudes

Yo Noid! was greater than any masterpiece I've ever laid eyes on.

You should've replaced "turtles" with "terrapins" and "mutant" with "unnaturally genetically altered". Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are cool though.

MC Kids. No, seriously. It was a platform game with McDonald's characters.

It was surprisingly hard and surprisingly fun. I mean, once you get around the McDonald's presence.

I own M.C. Kids. It's awesome. My brother and I made up lyrics to all the songs.

I'll go with Rad Racer. It's gotta be one of the raddest; it's got Rad in the title!!!

Cool, Deezer replied to my thread! I'm flattered. But I disagree with Rad Racer's level of radness; Rad Racer 2 was, in my opinion, radder.

Would you dare to say twice as rad?

Power Quest for the GBC

I don't think I've ever played a rad RPG. There's just nothing rad about taking turns, selecting items from a menu.

Not all RPG's are like that.

Like....um...Kingdom hearts?

Let's see. '80s, arcade game, how about Donkey Kong?

Yes, I know. I should have said TBS RPG, but that was one too many capital letters than I could handle.
