19 High-Scoring Old-School Arcade Games

Gauntlet (1985)
I would spend every lunch hour I could — and most of my lunch money — at the pizzeria right around the corner from my high school, because they had Gauntlet, that D&D characters stuck in a beast laden dungeon classic. Hacking, slashing, shooting my way through ghosts and orcs and evil wizards, only to inevitably hear the words ''Warrior, your life force is running out.'' And no matter how far you got, there always seemed to be another level waiting, taunting, asking for tomorrow's lunch money. — Marc Bernardin
