What is the best arcade game of all time?
This rather thought-provoking question came from an unlikely source today in a very formal environment.
I answered rather obviously Pacman for sheer simplicity and genius. I then added Afterburner for sheer ingenuity and wow factor.
Since I answered the question I have changed my mind about 40 times but I have to say I am straying towards Super Punch-Out and Paper Boy.
So Power-Uppers - what's your view?

Steve Wollaston - Sunday Mercury games reviewer Steve has been writing about video games for donkey's years. In fact he is probably far too old for it now which is why you will see a lot of reviews been done by kids... He has been nominated three times for Regional Games Journalist Of The Year at the Games Media Awards, but never wins. His major love is sports games and rates Sensible World of Soccer circa 90's as the greatest game ever made - closely followed by Championship Manager 2. Skyrim has currently taken over his life.
