Best Game of the 80's

[The Retro Kat]

With out a doubt, Tetris. What a simple, difficult, and refreshingly addictive game.

[Blackjack]

You do realise that by saying a Russian game about creating order from chaos by guiding blocks around a screen WILL result in a good kicking from the rest of the community. Least of all RoG himself.

Besides, why play Tetris when you can play HORROR HOUSE?!?!!?

[CastroMotorOil]

Tetris is evil and should not be played by anyone EVER. All tetris players should be forced to listen to that music until the day they die.

Laser Tag?

Laser Tag?

Mystery Mansion was an unbelievable board game... could go under the Relics from the toybox thread as well.

[The Retro Kat]

a Russian game about creating order from chaos by guiding blocks around a screen

So you're saying that game is synonomous to communism? Makes perfect sense.

Intellivision Sea Battle.

[Zbu Manowar]

Laser Tag?

Now that was sweet before a bunch of parents got it banned. You have a gun or a rapid-fire rifle and you try to harmlessly shoot your opponents. Perfect game all around until they tried to make the gun NOT look like a pistol....you know, when they turned it into a halfass phaser-ripoff that was attached to the vest.

But that sensor helmet? Blew ass. I always got my ass nailed when I wore it.

[Cybernetico]

Super Mario started it all.

[The Unseen]

I like Slaughterhouse - Genesis and Texas Chainsaw Massacre- Atari

[Mockery]

Intellivision Sea Battle.

AWESOME! Somebody else remembers that game. It was soooooooo good! Remember the tiny tiny tiny ship? It was so fast and had that powerful block bomb that could sink all the other ships in a heartbeat. I loved that shit...

If you are including boardgames, I would say "Talisman" by Games Workshop.

[pissed off salesman]

the donkey kong and galaga board games

[Milkman Dan]

That white Laser Tag rifle kicked ass! My cousin Wes still has one in perfect condition. Every time I go over to his house I drag that fuckin thing out of whatever hole hes put it in, and every time I want to bash his skull in and run out the door with it. One of these days man... one of these days.

[Ash37]

The Legend of Zelda, by far. My all-time favorite game on any system, from any decade. :)

[punkgrrrlie10]

MARIO!

[Cap'n Crunch]

I would have to say Pac-Man.

[-Gor]

DIG DUG.

[hdofu]

Xexyz

[Schimid]

I never got why people liked Pac-Man. :/

Dig Dug.

[imported_Wicked Steve]

Nothing from the 80s beats The Legend of Zelda and the first couple of Mega Man games. Nothing.

[ScruU2wice]

Mega Man games and Mario

[Emu]

You can all go to hell. Maniac Mansion > The next person to reply to this thread after my post

[UtterParadox]

One word. Just one.

Gradius.

And never mind that I couldn't beat the 3rd level!

[Schimid]

[Professor Cool]

Dig dug....Dig dug.....Dig dug.....Dig dug.....Dig dug......Dig dug......Dig dug

I use to live by an arcade, i played this game pretty much everyday when i was young, all the other games were always crowded, but dig dug was all mine.

Thank god for MAME, now i can play it whenever I want, and SAVE.
