No! Just plain no. If Pac-Man is #2, it's only because Ms. Pac-Man is #1. Donkey Kong is clearly #3. I spent much time in the arcades in the 1980s and half these games I've never heard of.
My List Of The Top Games Of The 80's: Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr. - Amazing Game Play & Super Popular Pac-Man, Super & Plus & Ms. - All Amazing Game Play & Super Popular Joust - Challenging Centipede - Amazing Concept Phoenix - Keeps you Entertained For A Long Time. Tron - Amazing Cabinet Graphics & Controls( Same as Gorf) Tempest - Amazing , Challenging GamePlay With Extreme Levels. Robotron - Intense & Very Challenging Burgertime - Fun, Goofy Game. Galaga & Galaxian - Popular Just like Pac-Man GORF - Amazing Controls ( Same as Tron) & Game Play Pole Position - Best Driving Game For its Time. Dig Dug - Always a Line To Play This One. Frogger - Huge Popular Game With Amazing Game Play Defender & Stargate - Both Challenging q-Bert - Amazing Concept & Very Popular Battlezone - Amazing Visual Game Play For its Time. Controls Are Incredible. and last but not least ASTRO BLASTER - Should Be At The Top Of This List. One More Honorable Mention Would Have To Be Popeye.
Street fighter 1 was note even a hit. Here is the obligatory "where are they in this video?" list: Centipede, warlords, battlezone, black widow, robotron 2084, TMNT, NARC, ms pac man, dig dug, crystal castles, tempest..........it goes on.
Do you remember that arcade shooting game from 80 or 90 where you had to shot cd records, it was like a famous rock band involved, like Kiss, can’t find it, please help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Anyone remember the name of the arcade game where at the very beginning I think you are dropped off by a spaceship and you run across a cavern and diamonds or stalagmites drop from the ceiling? I believe it was early 80's.
I choose City Connection by Jaleco (1985) including Sega's Hang-On (1985) and Taito's Night Striker (1989). I hope Night Stiker comes to PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
You sound Glaswegian. Did you used to go the Enterprise up from Queen Street station and Booths on (I think) Renfield street. There was one next to the Sub club too - Treasure Island maybe?
Star castle , Pac-Man , defender , tempest , so many great games, I would love to have a custom arcade cabinet made , but I live in Canada , Nova Scotia , & can’t find a company in the area that makes a good product
What was your criteria for ranking the games? Like, seriously, Donkey Kong so close to the bottom, Ms. Pac-Man nowhere to be seen, and the first Street Fighter of all things ranked as #1? The first Street Fighter game is generally agreed to be crap - it was Street Fighter 2 that revolutionized the fighting genre.
No! Just plain no. If Pac-Man is #2, it's only because Ms. Pac-Man is #1. Donkey Kong is clearly #3. I spent much time in the arcades in the 1980s and half these games I've never heard of.
What arcades are you going to then?
I’ve played every one of these games in the 80’s.
How about asteroids, tempest, Dragon’s lair?
Kangaroo?
Defender was my favorite, was glad to see it in your list.
It's astonishing to see how arcade / video game technology eveolved in just some 5 or 8 years.... during the 80s.
Jailbreak? Fantasy? But no Missile Command or Tempest?
Double Dragon!!!!
1:04 The game John Connor played in Terminator 2.
Should of had Gauntlet, Marble Madness and Kung Fu

Pole Position was my favourite,I liked games with challenged
Time Pilot 84 is the best...!!!
My favorite was Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Donkey Kong
Roadblasters?! I didn’t even know that’s a real game, I thought it was made up for the movie Wreck-it Ralph.
Sinistar. Should be on the list. Also Wizard of Wor.
