Those sounds are so incredibly nostalgic. Really amazing how instantly I'm transported back to a dark arcade room, or the local pizza parlor that had several games. So specific and real.
I put arcades in 3 categories: Early 80s, Late 80s and Early 90s. Then after that they really started to disappear or became niche. Mark my words. Some day we are going to have a VR system/game where you are in a arcade and you play classic arcade games within the VR arcade game.
Great compilation and I love how you got all the correct artwork for every game and machine! I have an 80s Arcade Quiz on my channel if you want to have a blast at some point.
What gets lost during that time from say 1979-84 is that pinball, once the former king of arcade games, had to get creative and quick to compete. That's when things like multi-levels, magnet ball-saves, and multi-ball play bonuses started to show up. The only "novel" thing prior to this in pinball was "Playboy" in 1977 because it was the first one to have a digital scoring display.
This is amazing, it's like a rolodex of the 80's arcade to remind me of all (well most) the games I loved. Was disappointed not to see Karate Champ though...am I the only one who loved that game lol?
Great list! Always nice to see games like Ladybug or even Mappy get some credit. I enjoyed playing these games back in the day, too.... Wizard of Wor Satan's Hollow Journey Halley's Comet
I remember when marble madness appeared. It stood out as so different, super sharp graphics, surreal imagery, unusual music and addictive gameplay. Also one of the few games that you could actually finish.
They have one at funspot. It's just a Nintendo cabinet with D2K artwork. And a DK pcb with the D2K daughterboard installed. But yeah it definitely is NOT 80's.
I respect the fact that you put together a list of games from the 80’s, but this list is missing so many key games, I mean so many, but hey, if this is your personal top 140, then that is your opinion and gotta respect it.
Its a great list. Of course everyone’s list is personal, I’d find room for games like Final Fight, Golden Axe, NARC, Lunar Lander to name a few. Also I seem to remember Rampart using track ball controls not joysticks
Great list, but I'm surprised to not see... Baby Pac-Man Super Pac-Man Jr. Pac-Man Blasteroids Dragon's Lair Food Fight Ghosts & Goblins Make Trax Road Runner Zaxxon
I absolutely Love Discs of Tron! 😎 One of my all time faves that I played to death when I was a Tween! Also Some people hated Donkey Kong 3 but I thought it was innovative and Hilarious! 🤣 However some of my favorites weren’t on this list which are Golden Axe, Dragon’s Lair, Space Ace, Time Soldiers, Police Trainer, Yie ar Kung Fu, Karate Champ, Black Tiger, Crossbow, RoboCop, Double Dragon and last but certainly not least Tournament CyberBall 2072! It’s Robot Football and the ball is a Bomb! That’s Awesome! 🤩
remember this game just like twin bee but the difference before the start of the game you can choose yun spaceship cage and during game play you can replace it by obtaining special floating power to change the cage of your spaceship i forget its name there are big boss also need to defend inorder ro go next round
I just love all this, just the best. Can you please let me know what Image this is? I'm just about to do a 1up PC Mod on my Final Fight cab, and would love to load this in. Thanks for all the amazing clips!!!
This is the best looking front-end theme I've seen. Thanks for sharing! On mine, all my cabinets look the same. Can you share a tutorial link or tell me how do I get mine to display/download those cabinets so it looks like yours? Thanks if you can help!

These are the games I want to sit in my house and play on my TV. How do I do that? There are too many options out there with a bunch of modern games I don't care about. Please help.
anybody know the namke of the arcade game where theres 3 lines across the screen, a motorcycle & busses along the bottom & each jump it gives you another bus added to the bottom.
anyone knows about a robot game adventure or it can be multiplayer battle that player can choose their own type of robots in battle, this game can be player 1 and 2 only, the human pilot can also get out in his machine and he can also fly with using jetpack to find a robot around. some of robot i remember you can choose a spider type robot, a gundam like robot and a airplane type robot. I forgot what year it is, i just born 1998 and play this game when i was 8 year old, while playing i remember some of game in the same year, like mortal combat and super mario there are also donkey kong. Im looking for this game, i just play it in arcade i have a memory in it i just forgot the name
Lembro do tempo em que vivia nas casas de fliperama. Lembro de uma máquina que tinha um jogo de nave muito legal, mas hoje em dia, mesmo pesquisando e garimpando na internet não encontrei mais esse jogo (detalhe: o jogo, após destruir todas as naves inimigas, aparecia no topo da tela um boneco mexendo os braços e que descia em várias direções tentando acertar o jogador e a gente tinha que atirar e destruir esse boneco alienígena). Infelizmente não lembro o nome desse jogo e até agora não encontrei nenhum vídeo dela na internet. Se alguém souber ou conhecer, compartilha aí, pois hoje temos os emuladores que nos ajudam a relembrar esses tempos bacanas.
ya there are quite a few 90s in there (VR racing etc), also no 1943, rolling thunder, shinobi, R-Type, twin cobra, Raiden, ghost and goblins, Contra, Trojan, double dragon, Xena, ring king, jackel, assult,

Thank you for assembling this and the reminder of how 50k in quarters when missing.
Best 80s arcade list on youtube. You got hidden gems and popular favorites.
Crazy how many of these are buried deep in your memories.
I miss the sounds of my old arcade.
I put arcades in 3 categories: Early 80s, Late 80s and Early 90s. Then after that they really started to disappear or became niche. Mark my words. Some day we are going to have a VR system/game where you are in a arcade and you play classic arcade games within the VR arcade game.
We now have this
Yea we do, we have an 80s living room even playing old atari 😅
I remember a couple from
the early 2000s--"Crazy Taxi"
& "House Of The Dead".
Thanks guys I needed this. From a former Arcade lover.
Great compilation and I love how you got all the correct artwork for every game and machine! I have an 80s Arcade Quiz on my channel if you want to have a blast at some point.
Great work - that's my childhood and proud of it!
I didn't see Zaxxon.

Check it out our new arcade channel @BlackBartGames then th-cam.com/video/JJAT_bQlgbU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9bVQfEXe0kFlLYOb
Great video! I forgot about so many of those games!
“Mr. Do!” was one of the most underrated games. I still play it on my ColecoVision emulator.
Great list!! Xevious should have made the cut. Original Pole Position as well.
This is amazing, it's like a rolodex of the 80's arcade to remind me of all (well most) the games I loved. Was disappointed not to see Karate Champ though...am I the only one who loved that game lol?
loved pac-land and paper boy amazing classics on here only wish I could get them all again
To think I spent many a quarter in most of those games. Thanks for the memories. 😁
Great list! Always nice to see games like Ladybug or even Mappy get some credit. I enjoyed playing these games back in the day, too....
Wizard of Wor
Satan's Hollow
Journey
Halley's Comet
When was Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja made? That should be on this list
ExciteBike, Zaxxon, Xevious, Gradius, Punch Out!, 1941!,......You're missing quite a few!!!
Shinobi, Heavy Barrel, and Kick would also be on my list.
I was looking for Kick Man myself, which was an alternate title for Kick (probably to capitalize on Pac-Man’s popularity).
I remember when marble madness appeared. It stood out as so different, super sharp graphics, surreal imagery, unusual music and addictive gameplay. Also one of the few games that you could actually finish.
Yes. "Marble Madness" is
my all-time favorite!
Does anyone remember a game? Were you try to pop balloons? I think the balloons are like red, pink and blue that’s all I remember.
80s? No, but You can try for example Puzzle bobble
Pop Flamer?
balloon fight?
Pang?
Circus Atari
Donkey Kong 2 is not an actual arcade machine. It was a homebrewed project made in the 2000's
They have one at funspot. It's just a Nintendo cabinet with D2K artwork. And a DK pcb with the D2K daughterboard installed. But yeah it definitely is NOT 80's.
Your video is an artwork. Tu video es una obra de arte. Greeting from México. ,🇲🇽
I've played at least 90% of these, these are the sound of my childhood.
I respect the fact that you put together a list of games from the 80’s, but this list is missing so many key games, I mean so many, but hey, if this is your personal top 140, then that is your opinion and gotta respect it.
Wonderful👍
Its a great list. Of course everyone’s list is personal, I’d find room for games like Final Fight, Golden Axe, NARC, Lunar Lander to name a few. Also I seem to remember Rampart using track ball controls not joysticks
I lost track of how many times I said, “Oh, remember that.”
I did a drinking game with this....
Im now in hospital
11:39 kangaroo, the background music similar to other game, but i cannot remember, anyone find out that?
may be NES puss in boots? i cannot remember exactly
Maybe Bubble Bobble sounds similar I think maybe!
Great list, but I'm surprised to not see...
Baby Pac-Man
Super Pac-Man
Jr. Pac-Man
Blasteroids
Dragon's Lair
Food Fight
Ghosts & Goblins
Make Trax
Road Runner
Zaxxon
1941
1942
Assault
Red Baron
Xevious
Great list, though, I always see ones I'd never seen before.

No Bomb Jack??. It's the most addictive platform game I still play today. My Sony TV is the best arcade machine on this planet.
Again with the best of thing.. I just want to see the master list. Nice job tho.
I remember wishing that my Atari 2600 had the graphics of some of those games. 😂
Is that Neuschwanstein Castle at 4:10?

If the music to Mikie sounds familiar, that's because it's Hard Day's Night by The Beatles.
These are the games I want to sit in my house and play on my TV. How do I do that? There are too many options out there with a bunch of modern games I don't care about. Please help.
Man those were simpler times
How did this list not end with Zaxxon??
can you increase size of game titles and reduce the game screen by half ?
anybody know the namke of the arcade game where theres 3 lines across the screen, a motorcycle & busses along the bottom & each jump it gives you another bus added to the bottom.
Stunt Cycle from Atari, circa 1976. I played the heck out of it when I was a kid!
@@JetSetDiva thank you, sheeeesh never wouldve guessed it, cool. now i know
Those 70s Atari games were the bomb.
Great list, but no Satan's Hollow or Zaxxon?
I wish you could have put Gremlins in the list. There were actually two games called Gremlins. Coin detected in pocket.
I see artwork from Animal Jam for the background of the "Kangaroo" game lol
anyone knows about a robot game adventure or it can be multiplayer battle that player can choose their own type of robots in battle, this game can be player 1 and 2 only, the human pilot can also get out in his machine and he can also fly with using jetpack to find a robot around. some of robot i remember you can choose a spider type robot, a gundam like robot and a airplane type robot.

It sounds like you might be describing Metal Warriors for the SNES...
Lembro do tempo em que vivia nas casas de fliperama. Lembro de uma máquina que tinha um jogo de nave muito legal, mas hoje em dia, mesmo pesquisando e garimpando na internet não encontrei mais esse jogo (detalhe: o jogo, após destruir todas as naves inimigas, aparecia no topo da tela um boneco mexendo os braços e que descia em várias direções tentando acertar o jogador e a gente tinha que atirar e destruir esse boneco alienígena).

You could turn off the video portion of this, and I could still guess most of these games simply on sounds alone! Now that's "iconic"
Un video bellissimo. 👌
How do I get this build ?
What front-end are you using?

Hoping to see Xenophobe but it must be one of those forgotten games.. 😢
You scrolled right past SINISTAR?!
* Donkey Kong ll is a fan made game from 2006.
Outrunners, Virtua Racing , Rampage World Tour & NBA Jam are from the 90's, not the 80's.
40 anniversary of donkey kong
NBA Jam Tournament Edition - great game, but it shouldn't be on a list of top games of the 1980s.
am i the only one that played and loved Kick hahaha good to see some games no one mention.
WAS CENTIPEDE WITH TRACKBALL? NO WAY
No Nemesis? No Double Dragon? Lots of excellent games not here.
I’m pretty sure NBA Jam and Smash TV were 90s games also how can you forget Commando and Ghosts n Goblins.
ya there are quite a few 90s in there (VR racing etc), also no 1943, rolling thunder, shinobi, R-Type, twin cobra, Raiden, ghost and goblins, Contra, Trojan, double dragon, Xena, ring king, jackel, assult,
No Rastan or Double Dragon?
No punch out is a joke lol
virtua racing 80's? i think 1992
What, no Qix?
N.A.R.C
Also I do not think NBA Jam came out in the 89s.
Quiero saber el nombre de un juego arcade q jugaba en los 80 o 90,era un chinito q tiraba cartas y se le pegaban como bolitas y meneabas el mando para quitartelas
I thought Smash TV came out in the 1990s.
Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married Mommy served
In the WACS in the Philippines
Now I had heard the WACS recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)

Where's Double Dragon 😮
I love the 80s
No pitfall 2 ?
Gladiator
Operation Wolf
Spy Hunter
Kid Nikki
Legend of Gage
Victory Road
Gauntlet
Karate Champ
Double Dragon
Bad Dudes
Renegade
Ninja Gaiden
Super Contra
Ghosts & Goblins !!!!!!
In many cases, the control panel with buttons, joystick, spinner ,etc. is not shown correctly.
The marquees and game screens look great though.
Ghosts 'n Goblins (sorry) 😊
Neither did Yars Revenge.
Alright.... Virtua Racing was certainly NOT a game of the 80s, silly you.
No king fu master 🤷♂️
A garbage listing doesn't give enough coverage
Rush N Attack didn't make it here.
Got to Kangaroo and realised no HunchBack. Boo
Nes version of Lode Runner looks better than this one...
ok
