29. DRAGON'S LAIR (1983)
This was a laserdisc based game that I threw a small mountain of quarters into.
The idea was to save the princess, which one day I finally did.

34. MR. DO! (Universal, 1982)
The coolest clown ever! Of all the Dig Dug clones, nothing can come close to this one! Spawned multiple sequels (and even a laserdisc one was planned!) and was far and away Universal's biggest hit.
Whenever I hear the "Can-Can" theme, I ALWAYS think of this game.

36. CENTIPEDE (1980, Atari)
Brilliant shooter where you get to mow down bugs and mushrooms. Awesome!

37. PHOENIX (1980)
I remember playing this on the cocktail table version while bar hopping back in the early 80's.

The sound effects are pretty cool.

38) Robotron. I actually didn't play this much in the arcades but got it on a classics collection for the PS2 and kind of got hooked on it.

40. I didn't see SPACE INVADERS

on the list.

41. We didn't get Asteroids on there either.
Created in 1979, Asteroids is one of Atari's biggest hits ever.

I always felt the game was playing me... the controls never really lined up with the screen. Someof the BEST game deaths ever though.
