Mee too. There was also this SubSpace like game on the old Mac Classics, called Star Fleet, or Fleet Command or whatever, but its based on a the Star Trek universe. But the fun of it was controlling your own warship and going around killing people, meeting people, docking in bases.

Galaga consoles where two people could sit opposite of each other and play

down. I have distanct memories of playing that game and others like that
