1. Space Invaders – Love it! I recall playing one of these with the monitor permanently colored so the black and white screen looked like it was in color based on how high up the invaders were.

2. Pac-Man – Ok. I was never so much into this game. I was a science nerd, spaceships were cooler than yellow blobs eating dots.

3. Defender – WOOO!!!! All time favorite standup video game. When I got bored I would go through and shoot all my guys so I could be in open space and having the alien ships totally going berzerk on me. Smart bombs were cheating. I can only play this game on the original standup, I was too in love with the initial offering. I just think back to a plate of greasie pizza, She Blinded Me With Science on the jukebox and Defender blisters on my fingers…

4. Battlezone – Love it! This was a blast. I really liked it. Especially the enemies blowing up. I would love that on my XBOX 360 now.

5. Star Wars – Love it! Who can’t love Star Wars. George Lucas is a god. Next time I get out to California I am going to tour some Lucas stuff. It’s good to know the right people. 🙂

6. Dragon’s Lair – Loved it but it was too expensive!

7. Out Run – Loved it! Racing around in a convertible hotrod. Hey I have a Mustang GT Convertible with big fat racing tired and reprogrammed computer now…

8. Shinobi – Never played it.

9. Street Fighter – Loved it!

10. Time Crisis – Don’t recall even seeing this one.
