Easy wins have never been my style
I found this while searching around on the internet, a host of big old school titles here. But what do you think should - or should not be in there?

I have to agree with Street Figher II & Tetris, I'd even be tempted to put them higher. Two of my absolute old school favs right there.

10) Alex Kidd [1986]
9) Street Fighter II [1991]
8) Tetris [1984]
7) Sonic the Hedgehog [1991]
6) The Legend of Zelda [1986]
5) Mario Bros [1983]
4) Asteriods [1979]
3) Super Mario World [1991]
2) Space Invaders [1978]
1) Pac-Man [1980]

bite my shiny metal-

Oh, that reminds me, I played Puzzle Bobble (which is made by the same people as Bubble Bobble) as a kid and I loved it! Completely forgot about it til now.

That list looks about right. They were a bit before my time but even so, I've played at least some form of probably half that list because they were influential enough to have left a legacy. Though, I'd probably put Mario a bit higher on the list as well.

Alex Kidd is only on there because it came free with the console just like Wii Sports. xD

It is scary to think that early FF's and games like Secret of Mana/Chrono Trigger are almost in that category... (20yrs)

I agree with the list for the most part, though a couple of the games, I've never heard of. And YES, BUBBLE BOBBLE.

Also, Frogger.

Oh Bubble Bobble, I LOVED that when I was a kid. That is pretty damn unlucky to miss out for sure!

It's more fun when you have two people playing, too. I think I remember what bubbles spell. EXTEND?

Yeah it was, way back then my brother and I would play it together.

I always remember when you cleared the level you'd face the wall and keep blowing bubbles to pop a few to sneak in a few extra points. XD
