I know we've done top x lists before, but in all the confusion since I started getting into this hobby, I've kinda lost sight of what a 'classic' game really is. Whether it be because I have owned and gotten bored with a certain title, popular opinion has turned against a certain title, or I bought the hype on a game I never played BITD and ended up hating it once I owned it, I have forgotten what I used to think a classic game was/is. When I was about age 8-12 (1980-1984), it seemed I knew what the classics were. How you ask? Arcade-themed Cartoons, cereals, sweepstakes, etc usually targeted and touted them endlessly. After careful consideration, I have decided on 10 arcade games that still scream classic! to me. This list is somewhat biased of course, but I am also basing it on the hype and the general overwhelming exposure certain titles had when they were still new to popular culture. I'll show you my 10, then you can show me yours.
Asteroids
Pacman
*Zaxxon
Q*bert
*Dig Dug
Centipede
Pole Position
*Frogger
Donkey Kong
Berzerk
That's what I remember the classics to be during the arcade's reign in popular culture. I am not asking for your favorite games, or some rare obscure title that now commands thousands. I am asking you to give me the 10 most classic arcade game titles you can think of from the Golden Age.
*I can't believe how many of these games I still don't own or have never owned.
