  1. Galaga abd Pac-Man all the way. I used to play them when younger at the Arcade on Vermont Ave. Hollywood, CA.

  2. I was never a arcade fan I hated putting in money to play and when you lost you couldn't play anymore in till you put more money in to it

  3. Star castle , Pac-Man , defender , tempest , so many great games, I would love to have a custom arcade cabinet made , but I live in Canada , Nova Scotia , & can’t find a company in the area that makes a good product

  4. 5,6 are my fav ones back in days

  5. What was your criteria for ranking the games? Like, seriously, Donkey Kong so close to the bottom, Ms. Pac-Man nowhere to be seen, and the first Street Fighter of all things ranked as #1? The first Street Fighter game is generally agreed to be crap – it was Street Fighter 2 that revolutionized the fighting genre.

  6. Jailbreak? Fantasy? But no Missile Command or Tempest?

  7. What happened to TRON? WTF!

  8. It's astonishing to see how arcade / video game technology eveolved in just some 5 or 8 years…. during the 80s.

  9. 1:04 The game John Connor played in Terminator 2.

  10. Not a single Atari release? No tempest, Star Wars or Gauntlet?

    And that baseball game by Sega? How is that top 200?

  11. Well I stopped watching at 27. DK has to be top 5.

  12. Sinistar. Should be on the list. Also Wizard of Wor.

  13. Any best of list that doesn’t include dragons lair is a joke.

  14. 1:19 Who seen that Marboro advertisement in Pole Position marketing cigarettes to kids? 😳

  15. Pole Position was my favourite,I liked games with challenged

  35. Should of had Gauntlet, Marble Madness and Kung Fu

  36. No! Just plain no. If Pac-Man is #2, it's only because Ms. Pac-Man is #1. Donkey Kong is clearly #3. I spent much time in the arcades in the 1980s and half these games I've never heard of.
