Our favorite arcade games of the '80s

Since we all love this era of videogames, we decided to make a small list of some electronic games that we all enjoyed. If we wanted to make a list with every single game, the task would be gigantic, so we decided to remove those that did not officially become first in arcades but became ports from other platforms.

Somehow, we ended up splitting them into decades, the 80s and 90s, and the legendary Space Invaders of 1978 was left wondering what it did wrong. There are other games to play and have fun. You can try to play online casino games, and the CasinoTop10 can guide you through to the best online sites so you can play with safety and know the benefits of each site. We put the names in alphabetical order to be fair.

1942

You make your plane, avoid the fire and attack the bomber with rage. MAGIC.

After Burner

If so, what are the chances of falling back into an airplane game when there are so many options? Our Top Gun, so simple.

Amidar

Quite old and not as prominent as other maze games. And yet, it was one of the smartest, most learned and geometry.

Bionic Commando

Did you play it on the NES? The original arcade version is quite different, but the basics do not change: Grappling gun, we say.

Black Tiger

This is an excellent platform game from Capcom, with enemies burning for who will hurt you first. The triple dagger is the right answer on your part.

Bomb Jack

The work of a pyrotechnician, even in a broader sense, has never been more fun.

Bubble Bobble

Once upon a time, there was Bub and Bob. They played double as good friends and trapped bad guys in bubbles. At some point, things did not go well. They cursed each other, and since then, they have been playing alone.

Chase HQ

Epic chases. If you took the wrong turn, the cabinet screen was in grave danger of irreversible breakage.

Commando

The moment at the end of the level where the doors open and dozens of soldiers fly out, makes you feel like Rambo and Terminator together. Drop the grenade. NOW.

Contra

Much like Bionic Commando, the NES version differed from the original arcade, but the grandeur does not change.

Defender

In the old days, you had to put your imagination to work; the graphics did not do all the work. A space shooter, after all, requires creativity.

Donkey Kong

ATTENTION on the barrel. This is a game we loved so much and played for so many hours.

Double Dragon

Just epic. Try the incredible elbow hit, when all else fails.

Double Dribble

Let's say it was the most realistic digital version of basketball at the time. That's enough to be on this list, with glory and honor.

Dragon's Lair

Some say it was not even an interactive movie. Others say they have not played something more challenging. Everyone agrees on the pioneering display for 1983.

Express Raider

This game has fighting, shooting, train robberies. There is no Wilder West than this.

Frogger

Dozens of ways for a frog to die. 

Gauntlet

Some consider it overrated, but in 1985 a dungeon crawl game was not typical. Correctly?

Gold Medalist

There are better-known games of the genre ("track and field"), but that does not mean that we did not break the Gold Medalist.

Golden Ax 

I rode on your dragon, like the dwarf Gilius, burning every possible resistance. A value that is not valued with banknotes but only with coins.

Green Beret

In the beginning, it is you and your knife. If you do well, stronger weapons will come, even with limited ammunition. Run and gun action tracks, at its best.

Jail Break

Transfer from the battlefield to the civilian battlefield because some guys have escaped, and here is not Prison Break. An arrest is not an option.

Kung-Fu Master

Massive respect to one of the forerunners of heavenly wood or otherwise beat 'em up games. Let's say he's the Bruce Lee of the genre.

Mario Bros.

Yes, Mario games are not the exclusive prerogative of Ninty consoles; to be precise, this came out here before the famous Super Mario games. Boss and here, Miyamoto.

Missile Command

Another executive of the golden age of arcades, another space shoot 'em up where the "primitive" graphics require the player to travel mentally to the depths of his mind. 

Ms. Pac-Man

No need for recommendations

Pac-Land

For now, Pac-Man has been transformed from a maze into a platform game. 

Pengo

A representative of the famous maze games in the early 80's, but which also has puzzle elements. Penguin.

Pinball Action

Nothing compares to the original pinball machine, but Pinball Action is an extremely valuable replacement.

Ping Pong

Two hands from the wrist and down holding rackets. And yet, Konami's game was then the closest to the sport, about 13 years after Atari's historic Pong.

Renegade

If it weren't for Renegade and its innovations, I don't know if Double Dragon would come out later. 

Shinobi

The biggest ninja game in history

Star Wars

Where a lot of Star Wars games stumbled in the future, arcade SW had no problem. Classic and successful.

Street Fighter

SFII is the ultimate fighting game. It was only released in 1991 and is out of the decade we are considering. Be that as it may, let's go with the first Street Fighter, there is nothing wrong with learning your roots.

US Championship V'Ball

Playing on the hot sand. Beach volley at its best.

Wonder Boy in Monsterland

There are no words for the great action/platform RPG.

Yie Ar Kung-Fu

One-on-one, variety of movements through the lever and buttons. The playable character may have been just one, but this is the first Grand Master of fighting games.
