Why no Bosconian Star Destroyer? That's gotta be among the most under-rated game of that era. It was quite sophisticated, and ahead of it's time, in terms of graphics, audio, and gameplay. I think it's my all-time favorite arcade game ever made, but dang, it's so overlooked and under-appreciated, widely.

With Stargate you could shoot all the humanoids and then see if you can survive the next stages where the mutants chase you up to stage 6 if you're lucky! Loved this on the Atari 2600!

I remember playing DONKEY KONG in the USA as a kid when it came out. It 100% called him JUMP MAN on the printed instructions by the control panel.

Sometimes I thought the clone games were better than some of the more popular and well-known arcade titles. Especially when they come up with Atari 2600 or 5200 clone games for home. Ahhhhh the memories!

I was born in 1981, so playing these in the arcade wasn't a possibility. But I remember my grandpa having Donkey Kong, Ladybug and Cosmic Avenger on ColecoVision. Such fun games.

Enjoyed the video. Late '81 was when I became a gamer. My mother was taking my sister and I to the Dairy Queen and they had just got an arcade of Pac-Man. Up to this point, the only video games I knew were Pong clones and Breakout. It seems funny now, but I was absolutely blown away by the idea of being able to move a character around the screen in four directions instead of just two.
