top 10 video game WEAPONS

Galaga.

My lord, how much time I wasted playing that game.

 

I always liked the RC-P90 from Goldeneye. You didn't even need to aim with that thing.

Also, can we count the Sonic Spin move? Nothing like rolling oneself into a ball and hurtling towards the enemy while sustaining no damage whatsoever.

 

The spread gun was No. 7, but it should've been higher. The perfect Contra weapon.

And I have to give these people credit for sticking the turtle shell in there at No. 2. Those of us who played Mario Kart in our youth knew how much of a momentum changer it was to dodge that damn red shell. The only way to beat it was to duck around a turn real quick.

And I never played doom, but the BFG is claaaasic.

 

The crystals in Sinistar.

"Beware, I live!"

 

The RPG gun in Duke Nukem was pretty fun to have. I think there's been a couple other games that have had it too.

 

I almost forgot the slappers in Goldeneye. Nothing like running up to someone with a Laser or the Golden Gun and trying to slap them to death. Hilarity always ensued.

I do not nominate the Klobb, though. I chose slappers over the Klobb.

 

I had forgotten about the Klobb, which was easily the worst video game weapon of all-time.

 

OK, this is killing me because I CANNOT remember the name of the game. It was a shareware thing for PCs and it featured multiple tanks and a mountainous landscape with a wide variety of wild and awful weapons like Liquid Napalm and Death's Head. It was not a very good game in terms of graphics but it was fun to play just the same. Anyone remember the name of the game?

Also, the sportscar with missiles on NARC. What a great game and it had you fragging a whole gaggle of LSD-strung clowns laughing hysterically.

 

The back brain kick!

(If my brother's guy can stay still long enough for me to do it. Dude, quit moving your guy!)

 

Just remembered the game. It's called Scorched Earth. Absolutely fabulous weapons combined with cheesy graphics makes for one awesome shareware game.

 

The oil slick in the arcade version of Spy Hunter.

 

Steve Perry's shooting microphone.

And for fun, those ropes in Jungle Hunt, even though they weren't weapons. I'd spend hours just swinging from one rope to the next, and jumping over the crocs' mouths.
