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

  Ten-year-old me, two cokes down and twin guns on Galaga… that’s the best life.👍

  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&apos;t a possibility. But I remember my grandpa having Donkey Kong, Ladybug and Cosmic Avenger on ColecoVision. Such fun games.

  Enjoyed the video. &nbsp;Late &apos;81 was when I became a gamer. &nbsp;My mother was taking my sister and I to the Dairy Queen and they had just got an arcade of Pac-Man. &nbsp;Up to this point, the only video games I knew were Pong clones and Breakout. &nbsp;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.
