I think for a lot of them, they must have come up with some cool looking sprites and then tried to make a game/story around that.

I mean, so many games made so little sense back then. If you could program it, I think they gave it a green light. Qbert? Berserk? Even Pac Man, what the hell is that guy?

They must’ve had some good drugs back in the 80s.

We need some of that now. I want crazy games again.

I remember a friend dragging me to the arcade to see what he had found there. It was Q-Bert. Now of course it was a wild game, but he said, "no wait, watch this", proceeded to jump off the blocks, and I heard the mechanical clunk at the bottom of the machine. Someone came up with that just for the F of it...brilliant.
