I miss the arcade, the sounds, light and excitement. Our world has turned into a dead mall and zombies lost in supermarkets 😏

No double dragon? Not even in the honorable mentions? Beyond criminal

TMNT & The Simpsons was a matter of pride and bragging rights beating the game from start to finish on just a quarter. The camaraderie of having other players join in on the fun was just priceless.

Star Wars Triology Arcade, Simpsons, Street Fighter 2, Ms Pac-Man, Galaga, TMNT in Time, and Time Crisis were my faves in the day. Still are.

I am a boat Captain and my time spent playing Astroids has contributed more to my success in this job than the time I spent in school, the spaceship handled just like a boat!

“Do you have Asteroids?” “No, but my Dad does. Some days he can’t even sit down.”

2:35 “Eat the fly. EAT THE FLY!!!” This makes me wanna watch that episode!

Defender and Phoenix......Classics!

No sense, Pac man isn't actually the best game, it's just the most iconic, so if you were going for iconic, why not choose the original over mrs.? You can't say its better, because you know what is better? A lot of other games...

"Hey you got Pac-Man?" "No." You got Space Invaders? "Nope." "You got Asteroids?" "No, but my dad does, can't even sit on the toilet somedays."

Pole position was one of my favorites.

1 Defender 2 Scramble 3 Pheonix 4 Galaxians 5 Asteroids 6 Tempest 7 Robotron 2084 8 Xevious 9 Pole position 10 Outrun

Mine, in no particular order, would be: Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Punch-out!, NBA Jam, Dragon’s Lair, Galaxian, Star Wars original, Star Wars Trilogy, Pole Position, and Missile Command.

X-men vs Street Fighter Marvel vs Capcom 2 Killer Instinct 2 Mortal Kombat 2 Killer Instinct Street Fighter Alpha 3

1. Missile Command 2. Zaxxon 3. Centipede 4. Track & Field 5. Afterburner

Cruisin' USA, Moon Patrol, Golden Axe, 1942 were my go to games at the local video store.... ahhhhh, Blockbuster, so many memories.....

Mortal Kombat , NBA JAM, and Crusin' USA were my go to games at the arcade along with the Simpsons and TMNT games

Strong list. You missed some but the ones you have are very deserving. Played all of them many times. Your honorable mention list could be 50 games long and still not make everyone happy.

Once i heard how he pronounced "mario" like my mother used to i could not take this list serious!

*_JOUST!_*

At the arcades I used to play Donkey Kong like crazy, but bubble bobble was my fav and still is =D

Street Fighter II will always be #1 in my heart. “YOU WIN! PERFECT!”

I always liked the less popular games like Gorf, Hat Trick, Elevator Action, and my favorite, Bosconian.

back when getting the high score WAS your achievement!

Punch out Missle command Centipede should have been in there

I was born in 1974. That means I lived this in real time. Try to imagine being a kid in the pre internet era. I would go to the local arcade with maybe $1.50 that I had saved by not buying snacks at school. There were the really old classics that had always been there - PAC man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Star Castle, Galaxian, Berzerk. And every few weeks there was a new game. So many were destined to be classics. Here is a list of games that one day just appeared for me to try. Qbert. Dragons Lair. Donkey Kong. Kung Fu Master. Karate Champ. Marble Madness. Gauntlet. Star Wars. Star Trek. Space Ace. And much later, Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Combat. What a time to be young.

I think that Sinistar should be on that list as well, unless it was on a previous list. Great video guys!!!

I was an arcade video tech 1999 to 2003 and I say ms.pac #1 with speed mod and galaga with rapid fire mod, that was most popular sold where I worked. For pinball machines it was Addams family #1.

Qix simplicity was the Zen of gaming, Q-Bert's THUNK! when he fell and eye bending patterns was unmatched, Robotron, Golden Axe, DigDug, Adventure, Tempest, Defender and Joust could be found in every arcade. Pizza shops still have working arcade horizontal glass tables, though most people just eat pizza off of them. They don't earn much in quarters, but it's a classic part of atmosphere...

I think Dragon’s Lair was the 80’s version of arcade clickbait

Mortal kombat 2 will always be #1 in my book! Back in 1994 when i was 12, and going to the bowling alley, with some quarters, one the be best experiences I've had in video games.

Altered Beast was one I couldn't get enough of.

1. Galaga 2. Tron 3. Robotron 2084 4. Mr. Do! 5. Ms. Pacman 6. Burger Time 7. Joust 8. Millipede 9. Gyruss 10. Asteroids HM: Track and Field, Moon Patrol, House of the Dead, Punch Out, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Mad Planets, Zoo Keeper

6:37 "Merry-oh" who's that?

Robotron 2084, Ghouls n Ghosts and Strider should be here. Also New Zealand Story is superb!

Ooh and how could i forget-Kung fu master and shinobi🖒

San Francisco Rush, Killer Instinct, and the X-Men arcade game should definitely be on the list.

Outrun Double Dragon Golden Axe Ghosts and Goblins Operation Wolf (the one with the physical UZI)

Williams Defender ist the best arcade machine of all times. It was an international sensation when released in 1981. It has the fastest gameplay of any game up to now. It features the coolest sound effects ever heard in an arcade game. It has one of the best control sets ever invented and was one of the most addictive games at it's time. It was the most innovative arcade game at release date featuring a scanner screen, wide explosions, hyper space jumping, both side vertical scrolling, endless levels, destroyable planet surface, ultra aggressive and unique enemy behaviour.. and so on. It is the best grossing game of all times (earned over 1 BILLION dollars) and it is pure adrenalin to play till today because of it´s insanely fast gameplay. It is one of the most sought after arcade games in history. It is so hard to play for beginners, that the first ships will last no longer than 10 seconds playtime. Also to mention: It was the first arcade game that added the reason, why you shoot your enemies: Aliens want to kidnap humans and therefor you have to fight them. Williams Defender ist the true winner of any classic arcade game best- of list. This game is out of this world.

Ms Pac Man was the number 1 game of allllllll time. I'd say it made the most money back in the day. Still love playing it

Hard to argue with #1. The sheer simplicity of Pac-Man and its ability to stimulate the brains perpetually make it a stand out among the greats.

Centipede, Tempest, Turbo, Track and Field, Joust, Defender, Crazy Climber

Spy hunter, operation wolf and crusin usa should be on honorable mention.

Where's double dragon*"!?👍

Street Fighter 2, Final Fight, 1941, Double Dragon, Aliens, Golden Axe, Daytona, Ghost n Ghouls and Gauntlet were my favourites back in the day. You don't see a crowd of people fixated on a machine anymore... I mean except for a TV!

Samurai Showdown 2, Tekken Tag, Mortal Kombat 2, Killer Instinct, Timestoppers

This in no particular order. 1. Pac Man/Ms Pac Man 2. Donkey kong 3. Defender 4. Kung Fu Master 5.Popeye 6.Asteroids 7.Mortal Kombat 2 8.Punch Out 9.Jungle King/Jungle Hunt 10.Galaga

Where is Bubble Bobble?

You can't have a top 10 Arcade list without Mortal Kombat, you just can't... Mortal Kombat is arcade!

Moon Patrol: The Most Underrated Game Of The 80's...

Me and my friends allways thought that when Ken and Ryu did a Hadouken, they shouted "How are you Ken?!"

I had to cut classes 3 straight weeks for street fighter II, true story!

Double Dragon, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, Bad Dudes, Out Run, After Burner II, Kung-Fu Master, ...

Ms. Pac-Man was the first game I beat. Probably put about 30 dollars into that game over several weeks in 1985.

Sunset riders is a great arcade game I remember along with several different tmnt

How is The House of the Dead not even an honorable mention?

tempest, and joust, and defender

Ghost n' Goblins, Karnov, and Gauntlet are my reason for being poor today :P

Crazy Taxi should have gotten an honorable mention when it came out it was unique. Granted it came out way after the golden age of arcades.

As a former DDR player, I'm more than glad that the game's series became among the top five of the top ten, as was "Donkey Kong". Both were a challenging pair of games, but fun.. much like "Thunder Blade". You know, that arcade game where you pilot an attack helicopter through four missions, bringing the fight to the enemy while dodging shot and shell and avoiding head-on collision with many obstacles.

It's tough to argue the picks, but I am sad Dragons Lair didn't even get an honourable mention.

There’s no way in hell that Dance Dance Revolution beat Frogger & Astroids!! GTFOH!!

streetfighter and mortal kombat are my favorites

No Defender? Seriously? How can you have a list of arcade games without Defender

Ms. Pac-Man was nothing but a spin off... Pac-Man should have been #1

Loved your list, even though I never played several of these games. My favorite of all time was Tron

Defender, Tempest, Centipede & Donkey Kong jr were my favorites.

Street fighter 2, even decades later my hands still remember how to do an hadoken .

Atari made the most advanced games back in those days. They used a 68000 CPU and had the best graphics and sound (Yamaha YM-2151). Roadblasters Marble Madness Vindicators Paperboy Gauntlet 720 These were great games and led the way to the more advanced systems.

Contra and Bubble Bobble were two of my favorites. Does anyone remember Mat Mania? I could play that wrestling game for hours on one quarter.

I think if you're going to give the Simpsons an honorable mention, you also have to mention the X-Men arcade game. Colossus and Wolverine were my usual team with me taking Colossus. Also wanted to mention that the original Ninja Turtles arcade games of the late 80's are what originally got me into the arcade's. Before that I was strictly a very young Atari gamer trying to beat Pitfall and laughing while I destroyed everyone on the bouncing bullets tanks from the Combat game.

What?!?! No Pong which was one of the very very first Arcade Cabinet games out there

Paperboy?

Galaga was my jam as a kid in the arcades back in the mid 80s. Three games I used to play all the time that didn't make your list - Xevious, Burger Time and Crazy Taxi. I'm gonna put an honorable mention to a game that I never see on any list...Arabian! It was a game by a company called Sun Electronics.

I agree with list, but Double Dragon should have made it somewhere

Mortal Kombat R-Type Double Dragon Tekken Golden Axe Wonderboy Daytona USA

1. Mrs. PAC-Man, 2. Centipede, 3. Donkey Kong, 4. Rampage, 5. 1942, 6. Qbert, 7. Mappy, 8. NBA Jam, 9. Contra, 10. Spy Hunter...... these are just some of my favorite arcades games.

Space invaders and pac man and mortal kombat were my favorite old school arcade video games

arcades: California speed, cruisin USA, hydro thunder

Here are my picks: 10.Pole Position 9. Mario Bros 8. Crazy Taxi 7. Dig Dug 6. Galaga 5. Space Invaders 4. Mario Kart Arcade GP 3. Street Fighter II 2. PAC-Man 1. Donkey Kong

No Double Dragon? That was the biggest arcade game growing up of the late 80s.

Dragons Lair. Space Ace Food Fight Krull Congo Bongo Pro Wrestling Jungle Hunt Pengo

- Operation Wolf - Alien vs Predator - Robocop - Combat School - Golden Axe - Double Dragon some of the arcades that squeezed my wallet dry XD

You go Ms. Pac-Man YAAS Bitch

Props for including Time Crisis, Daytona and DDR. Awesome games.

It's hard to pick 10 that will satisfy everyone. For me, in no particular order: Pacman, Defender, Tempest, Battle Zone, Hard Drivin', Q-bert, Pole Position, Punch Out, Joust, and Moon Patrol.

I understand Ms.Pac-Man as #1, but how dare u put MK as honorable mention?!?!

now im getting sad that in Germany are no Arcades :(

I remembered this as if it was yesterday. Thanks to the video!

Pac man is ONE golden old game that anyone likes to play just for fun

This isn't a "Best of" series, but a "Most Influential" series. That's not what I thought I'd get from 'Top 10'. Influential, this list is great. As a best of, it's way off.

defender and robotron 2084 are simply the best, they are 100 times better than space invader.

Sega out-run...awesome driving game and great graphics for the time

Where the hell is TETRIS!?!?! Greatest game ever!

Wait wait wait... galaga... freaking GALAGA was at number ten... And Mappy... my poor sweet little Mappy wasn't mentioned once ;-;

Where is outrun?

It's impossible to agree on a top ten in order, but all of these deserve to be on it.

I made some arcade guy rich back then.
