International Arcade Museum® — Killer List of Videogames®

Dec 27-31, 2024 Year End Appeal: The Museum of the Game and The International Arcade Museum Library both launched great initiatives in 2024, but each is spending more doing so than they bring in. We're asking for your direct support for the New Year, as we'd like to sustain our momentum in 2025! Learn More

We are asking you to reflect on how valuable you find our offerings, whether you believe in arcade, coin-op, and video-game preservation, and whether you would be able to give at least $5. If you have given in the past and we still provide you with value, please kindly donate again. If you have never contributed, please consider joining our efforts today. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we'd be well on our way to reaching our goals. All that matters is that you choose to support our preservation efforts. Every contribution helps, whether it's $2 (a common first donation), $5 (the most common donation amount), $12 (the average), $20, $50, $100, or more.

Game Introduction

The names of the six teams are respectively Bad Attitude, The Violators, The Maniacs, Hot Flash, The T-Birds, and The Rockers. Each player can choose to be one of those teams at the beginning of the game.

Game Play

The player controls the team's "jetter", the skater who wears a helmet and scores points for the team that he or she is on. Once every circuit, the jetter will skate up the wall and then try to jump the ramp. Afterwards, the jetter will then try to also score points by getting past skaters on the opposing team and that will either be by skating past them or knocking them down.

On the wall, 6 points are scored by getting above the marker but only 2 points are scored if you only get below the marker. On the ramp, 6 points are scored by jumping over the marker but only 2 points are scored if you jump in front of the marker. For every opposing skater you skate past or knock down, each is worth 1 point apiece. Everytime you skate up the wall and jump off the ramp you repeatedly press the buttons to increase power.

Each game has four fifteen minute periods, in the first and fourth, the male skaters compete and in the second and third, the female skaters compete. At the end of the fourth period, your score must be higher in order to win the game and go to the next game where you will compete against another team.
