Ms. Pac Man

Superior to her husband, this game made many improvements to the original, including the addition of a cute red bow. As a kid, I loved watching the intermission scenes between levels.

Fr0gger

How did the frog cross road? With great difficulty! This game was so addictive, and all you had to do was dodge cars as you guided a frog across a busy city street.

Burgertime

In this game you were a "burger chef" and you had to kill various hamburger themed assailants by crushing them with layers of a giant hamburger. Classic!

Pole Position

This was one of the first driving games where you were able to use an actual steering wheel. Which was pretty cool when you are not old enough to drive a real car yet.

Rampage

In this 1986 game three players could play at the same time, each one controlling their own character: a Godzilla-type monster, King Kong or a Werewolf. What's the point? Knocking down buildings and destroying cities!

Pac Man

This is the game that started it all. It was so popular it even inspired a cheesy pop song "Pac Man Fever."

Mario Bros

Before there was Super Mario Bros, there was the original Mario Bros. A spin off of Donkey Kong, this game introduced Mario's brother Luigi and allowed simultaneous play as the two brothers defeat pests that come out of the pipes.

Centipede

Using a roller ball to control the direction of your fire, you shoot at a huge crawling centipede. Way more fun than it sounds.
