I'll always remember two of my favorites:

Tron

I remember playing this game before it hit the streets. The controls were so different from the normal fare...

Dragon's Lair

I was SO proud of myself when I actually beat the game in the arcade. I was into it!

my all time favorite - Defender. With the right control set it is fantastic.

Well, we all had 'pacman' fever in the 80s but for earlier games, I loved pinball. I could use a quarter on topspeed and literally be there for hours.

Then of course there was poll position :P
"prepare to qualify" :)

Karate Champ. I played that game every day the summer I was 8 years old. I could walk up to a machine today and remember the controls for probably 80% of the moves.

i've been into 8bit games lately, but mostly, i really enjoy Balloon Fight, Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario World, and Donkey Kong Country 2... some of these might be from early 90's rather than 70's - 80's though...
