There were many interesting video games but only a few "rocked my world" and made me stop and take notice. In no particular order are my top picks.
- Paperboy. Found it extremely interesting and even more so when some kid bet me a quarter he knew a bug that would allow him to either spin the score over or rake up a billion points. He did it too; was the most fun I've had on a video game, and that was just watching. Was the best quarter I'd ever lost. There was a bug, if you went through the obstacle course and crossed the finish line on the edge, it went through it again in an inverse color with huge scores.
- Joust. Whoever is on-top in a collision between you and other flying birds wins.
- Marble Madness. Run a marble around a course, where practically everything is trying to kill you. Plus the marble is glass. The green acid pools were also interesting.
- Sinistar. The face of evil trying to reassemble it. Then if you weren't able to stop its minions from doing so, it taunts you to run or it will eat you.
- Gauntlet. "Wizard Needs Food, Badly." If you can't keep up with everyone else, the screen will drag your ass over so you can be in range.
But I think #1 can be named:
- Dragon's Lair. At a then huge price of 50c it was expensive, but I could see why. Lots of people just stood and watched whoever was playing, the thing was beautiful. Well, it aught to be, it had Don Bluth, who did Saturday Morning Cartoons for a living as one of the developers.
There probably were a few others that were more interesting, but these are the ones I remember most.
