53) Tron.  Disks of Tron was mentioned but not the regular Tron.  I used to play this one a lot.

58. Star Castle (1980, Cinematronics)
Tough game where you fly a ship on a fixed screen trying to penetrate the walls of a fortress and destroy its cannon inside.  3 sentient stars hound you, and when the walls create a path to the cannon, it will fire at you.

No but I've been to Kennywood Park (just oustside of Pittsburgh), and it has/had lots of retro games (even penny arcades with strippers doing their thing).
Here's one I always liked playing.

59. KING OF SWAT BASEBALL

60. QIX

Oops, I mean..

Great arcade classic by Taito in 1981.  Draw buildings while avoid the deadly Qix and Sparx.

61)  Joust.  Not a big favorite of mine, but it did eat a few of my quarters back in the day.

Joust was what you played when there were too many quarters on Pac Man, basically

Mixing two great American pastimes: burgers and arcade games!
62. BURGERTIME (1982, Data East/Bally Midway)
Fun game where you, as a chef, dodge sentient foods en route to making burgers.
