85. SCRAMBLE (1981, Konami/Stern)
Early influential scrolling shooter.  Shoot airborne targets and bomb ground enemies rising up underneath you as you fly through various stages.  Super Cobra, its sequel (or maybe not a sequel, but feels like one) is very similar.

86. Omega Race
Sort of like Asteroids, but with interesting force field effects:

87)  Hasn't anybody mentioned Frogger yet?

88. Circus Charlie (Konami, 1984)
Great game where you try to successfully guide a clown through numerous circus events (fire hoop jump, trampolines, trapeeze, ball balancing, horseback, high wire).

Jack- what's that?   


89. Tales of Arabian Nights (pinball)



I won this twice art Cambridgeport Saloon near MIT. I'm better than all the students there for that

90. FATAL FURY SPECIAL
Fun Street Fighter II knockoff where almost all the great fighters from the first couple FF games return, along with playable bosses and an opportunity to play and/or use a special fighter (Ryo Sakazaki from Art of Fighting).

91: PINBALL ACTION

One of the most simple looking yet hugely challenging games I have ever played.

There was a pinball-esque game where you use top-mounted handles to fire lots and lots of pinballs/ball bearings at targets in the cabinet.  I loved that game.

Are you thinking of Pachinko?

Pachinko's Space age cousin.  It was like a physical version of Space invaders, you shot balls at targets.  It was a pinball chassis, with two joystick controllers on top to fire the cannon.

93.) XEVIOUS




94.) TWILIGHT ZONE PINBALL

[Leah]

I take the blame for starting specific pinball machines in slots.


95. Skeeball.

One of the most annoying parts is that the 10,000 hole is too small, I had one in and the ball refused to get in it. IT WAS IN THE DAMN HOLE, AND WASN'T ABLE TO GO IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chaos- That was a cool pinball game.

96. Crystal Castles



anyone who plays roller games with their foot is a baddy!

97. ASTRO BLASTER (1981, Gremlin/SEGA)
Awesome speech synthesis in this classic space shooter with a multitude of different enemies, an option to slow down time, special bonuses, and more!
"Fighter pilots needed in sector wars!  Play Astro Blaster!"
