My dad owned a video arcade in the 80’s. It was right next door to a coin operated laundromat he also owned. Life was a dream for awhile. I loved Popeye.

I’ve played 90% of these games many times, never any good at any of them, but that didn’t stop me playing them again and again!

So happy they included Darius on this list. One of my all time favorite shooters.

PAC-MAN showing up as the TOP 1 never fails to impress me. It’s so legendary.

I'm glad you didn't forget Pong, the very first video game. It was very popular in the 70's and was very addictive.

Still remember playing Space Invaders in Yorkdale mall and the gel on the screen, also when my friend brought home the first Atari....fun times, the sounds alone bring back so many memories !!

I remember playing ghosts n goblins on my Commodore 64. Man…. I loved that game so much. I remember beating it. I also remember basically failing high school. I mean, I graduated, but my marks were shit. <br><br>I still play games at 55 years old now.
