Whitey & The Professors’ All-Time Arcade Game Challenge - Round Two

We have our round two match-ups! There has been much further ado, so without any more here they are:
See the first round results and entire bracket HERE.




PAC-MAN REGION




  
#1 Pac-Man v. #5 Tron. Pac-Man cruised to a first round victory over Frogger - arguably a better game then Tron which squeaked out a win over Defender. If Tron wins this the fix might be in...


#2 Gauntlet v. #3 Ms. Pac-Man. Two juggernauts going head-to-head. Will it be a Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man match-up to make it to the final four? Whitey sure hopes not, but then Whitey is still circling the drain in Gauntlet.






SPACE INVADERS REGION







#1 Space Invaders v. #5 Duck Hunt. Duck Hunt is a sentimental favorite. Who can forget standing two feet away from the TV with an electronic gun knocking ducks out of the sky? At the same time, Space Invaders is a force to reckoned with. 



#2 Dig Dug v. #3 Mario Bros. Ouch. I wouldn't want to be in Vegas calling this one - there's a good deal of momentum for both of these games. I...we...I have no idea....







DONKEY KONG REGION 





#1 Donkey Kong v. #4 Joust. Joust took out Golden Tee which was one of the tournament dark horses. But does it have enough to eliminate one of the greatest video games of all-time?




#3 Star Wars v. #6 Pole Position. Pole Position eliminated Street Fighter in a first round upset. Star Wars posted a comfortable victory over Q*Bert. Two ground breaking games in their genres go head-to-head. Whitey is betting on the steering wheel.






PONG REGION





#1 Pong v. #5 Rampage. Rampage takes down Centipede and sets its sights on the granddaddy of them all. Pong is not fazed.



#3 Galaga v. #7 Paperboy. In what may be the most surprising upset of the first round, Paperboy sent Asteroids packing. Galaga wants a shot at Pong, but the kid on a bike has other ideas...
