Awesome thread.
I really miss the old games, they were so simple. Arcades are pretty much a thing off the past too, whrn the were only a quarter!
How about
Excite Bike
TWA (pretty sure) Wrestling
Karate Champ
Elevator Action
Tron
The original Star Wars
Popeye
Kung Fu Master
1942
Archon (atari 800xl and 130xe)
LODE RUNNER!
I do remember way back in the day, playing pong at Shakey's Pizza
Of course I have a soft spot for old videogames. We used to have congregation skating parties and drop many a quarter into Galaxian, Pac Man, Defender, etc.
Some of us pioneers would take breaks at a convenience store where we played the hell out of Time Pilot.
A personal favorite of mine was Road Blasters, cuz you could not only race but shoot the other cars as well.
Classic
My fav ol time vids were Robotron, Centipede, Star Wars, Defender, Discs of Tron, Star Castle, Gyruss, Qix, the list goes on. I liked Williams games; not only the best pinball tables but their vector games rocked.
All time fav: Steel Talons (combat chopper sim w rudder pedals and collective. Challenging in full sim mode)
Yeah, the Star Wars arcade game was awesome. Loved Atari Pitfall, too. I can't explain why.
Anyone remember Zaxon? My brother and I had an arcade miniature of that one and Frogger.
AstroSmash
Played that game for hours and hours

OMG, I forgot about Time Pilot. They had that at the pizza joint downtown. My brother, myself, and a JW friend of ours would play that game for hours.
Spy Hunter, Karate Champ, Double Dragon, Tecmo Bowl. Too many to recall.
I'm thinking about getting an old Atari just for the hell of it.
I wanna standing video arcade game like Defender.
