1. Ms. Pac-Man: People like to talk about Pac-Man, but there's no question its sequel was better. And Ms. Pac-Man is the coolest fat chick gaming has ever seen.
2. Dig-Dug: As a child who liked to pop balloons and kill dragons, this game hold a great deal of special meaning to me.
3. Burger Time: The only time you can say, "HELP THE PICKLE IS CHASING ME" and not be frowned upon while visiting the midwest.
4. Galaga: You know why this game is cool? You get 2 fighter ships simulatenously firing that. The first time I saw that was easily one of the coolest game moments I ever saw.
5. Crystal Castles: Cute little bears in wizards hats that collect gems? Fuck yes I'll play that. Will you throw in killer trees? Holy fuck, yes I will play and endorse it!!
You sir are welcome to your opinion, but there are no hats or teddy bears in Q*bert and the game has to be docked accordingly.
Yes, but Q*Bert has swearing! Swearing > hats & teddy bears.
I don't really count TMNT as a "classic" arcade. That was sort of a different generation of gaming. Plus that came out in 1990, so it wouldn't make the 80's list.
And the Simpsons Arcade Game was far superior to TMNT anyway.
Well I didn't play it till 1990 and it's my list, so there. Nyaaaaaaaaaa!
*grumble* ..... that's two people for the blacklist.
