Galaga was a sequel to Galaxian.
Wikipedia will provide you with the most detailed information on how the classic game Donkey Kong came to be.
I am sorry for making so many postings, but I grew up in the 80s, and going to my local arcades was my life. Over the years, reading about the history of the games and how they came to be really piqued my interest.
I also disliked zaxxon… very hard game for me as a young child.
Have to disagree with the choices of Shin-obi, Contra & After Burner as there is no way that these two beat out Congo, Sinistar & Jungle King/Jungle Hunt!!!!
Nice lil vid. I'm not all the way thru it just yet, but I just wanna mention "Bad Dudes" by Data East. Friggin' quarter cruncher of a machine.
For 30 years I have wished I could remember a certain specific arcade game. It had a joystick that did all the directional things they do, but it also turned clockwise/counterclockwise allowing the player to spin around and shoot anywhere regardless of the direction they went. You could blow up pretty much everything and each floor was full of computer terminals you just had to blast cause you could. It was kind of a 3-D layout and a third-person perspective that looked down onto the gameplay from a 45degree angle. I only saw it in one arcade and I don’t think I played it many times before it was gone but it was ahead of its time in the late 80s and for some reason it really stuck in my mind.
At the place I worked in the 80s there was a Donkey Kong machine. One of my co-workers (Tony) would come in early to play the game and insert his quarters. He prided himself on being #1 on the leader board. He would get so angry when someone would beat his score. He would keep playing until he was #1 again. With the number of quarters he put into that thing, he could have probably bought the arcade machine for his home!
This is a great comp! Thank you sir!
Please include title/publisher/year for each game. Subtitles:)
Shame this isn't a personal list of your top 50 but instead some generic one you've put together. So what's your personal #1? Defender?
Quite the old fogey, aren't you? 👴
I watch a lot of retro video game YouTubers, mainly North American and Canadian. I’m a fellow Brit and your vids are good, so I’m subscribed 👍
My number 1 early 80s Arcade game was probably Double Dragon. My number 1 late 80s Arcade game was probably Golden Axe.
"A knight riding a flying ostrich." When you say it out loud it sounds ridiculous 😅!
RAMPAGE is my game and always will be! I’ve got a lot of NES and arcade faves, but RAMPAGE is truly king!
SMASH EVERYTHING!!
I would add stargate, qix, crazy climber, Gyrus, phoenix.
Great list of games. Played the daylights out of a lot of these as a kid. Still playing them on a PS2 and Atari 2600 today. Even got my 9 year old grandson hooked.
I will agree with your remarks about Zaxxon. A lot of my friends loved this one. I found it a pain in the butt to play.
Super Mario bros was absolutely an arcade game. Vs. Super Mario bros. It had different difficulty than the home port.
Great picks!! A couple I've forgotten about. Thanks! 😁
Man, no Mat Mania or WWF Superstars…
I believe that Ms Pacman was named that because MS actually meant Midway Systems because Pacman was originally created by NAMCO /ATARI .!!
I see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Double Dragon and all I can think about is sore fingers after hours of mashing the attack buttons repeatedly 🤣
I must throw the red flag on Galaxian. That game was released in 1979. It is not an 80s title in the proper sense. I can see why you would think that it is though since it is perhaps one of the first true color arcade games. Asteroids would also be banned from this list unless you intend to put Asteroids Deluxe in its place…
As for Space Invaders? Yeah, that's one of the greatest games from the 70s too, but Space Invaders Deluxe was made in 1980 so perhaps you can still save that game's spot on your list by calling it Space Invaders Deluxe (Midway 1980).
Many folks have mentioned Sinistar and Mappy being absent from this list. Other notables missing include Lady Bug, Scramble, Berserk, Altered Beast, UN Squadron, Frenzy, Jungle Hunt (King), Congo Bongo, Tutenkham, Robocop, Bad Dudes vs Dragonninja, Return of the Jedi, Firefox, Mach 3, Astron Belt, Motorace USA, Hang On(and Super Hang-On), Carnival, Kick Man, Space Harrier, Golden Axe, Super Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man, and Darius.
Big Bear California had a nostalgic 80s/90s arcade..Best place on earth.
I would have chosen Bump N Jump. Probably not very many people remember this game. I was able to play almost everyday because it was at a gas station near by
Tetris, 1984 by Nintendo? huh?
Nice video dude 🙂
Great list, i have all of these. Why do you keep going on about some of these games being dated or crap? Its obvious that some of these are dated, hard or crap but pepole play them for the nostalgic appeal regardless of the issues – thats the point. i follow alot of arcade channels but this in part is negative BS. Shame as i wanted to subscribe and support this channel (THANKS Button) as i do with the others….
Golden axe, altered beast, final fight ‘89,
Great list. Enjoyed the countdown. I’d say Ikari warriors needs an honourable mention
Dude! What about Mr. Do! and it's rare and final sequel, Do! Run Run? They were BOTH fun games and I STILL play them in MAME. Give them a go, you'll see.
Galaga and Galaxian…. Pac and Ms Pac… A time when they would actually improve the sequel over the original. C'MON GUYS !! Dragons Lair and Tron do not even deserve a place on a top 50. Every one of those machines should be disassembled and recycle the parts. They were designed to suck quarters out of the pockets of DUMBEST kids out there. Tempest was a lot of fun ….IF…. the arcade could keep up with the maintenance requirements of that beast. The spinning controller would wear and get very dirty in almost no time.
If you didn't like the games why are they on your top 50?
What no Mr Do? Thumbs down.
