    Y'all suck at this..

    #1: Pong. I know it looks r****ded these days, but I promise you that women will still play this with you to this day. It was so popular, it brought on the video game revolution.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LPkUvfL8T1I&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LPkUvfL8T1I&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #2: Pac Man. I can't see anyone arguing with this one. For whatever reason, this game brought both children and adults out to play.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uswzriFIf_k&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uswzriFIf_k&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #3: Donkey Kong. I still recall going into a video arcade in the early 80's and seeing this game on pedestal with dozens surrounding it. It really was surreal at the time.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UmkhXdSC62w&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UmkhXdSC62w&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #4: Punch Out. This game was incredibly difficult, but it was sooo much fun to play. I'd still like to play it to this day.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lzib6ig_riE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lzib6ig_riE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #5:

    Space Invaders. That game was addicting.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U35b7BJJBJU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U35b7BJJBJU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #6:

    Dragons Lair. I have NEVER seen as many people watch with $10 in quarters see what they can do. Say what you will, but that was and still is, the only
    princess I would ever want to rescue.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Uvk8E9RwT5g&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Uvk8E9RwT5g&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #7:

    Gauntlet. I've never in my life seen kids running from school so that they could be the first four to play at whatever convenience store was closest.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FhVb54ha6Po&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FhVb54ha6Po&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #8: Outrun. I still recall going to Astroworld and watching kids watch this video game, even though there was obviously other things to do.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pZmnMgjEgeQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pZmnMgjEgeQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #9: Street Fighter II. I pretty much crapped my freshman year playing this game. Something about wanting to not only beat it, but once you did, you realized each character had an individual ending, which only wanted you to play it more. Sorry, folks.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZERwUZoVQvU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZERwUZoVQvU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    #1: Golden Tee. I thought I was off game addiction until I started playing this. These days it is too difficult for me to care, but 10-12 years ago, this was insane.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rc5NhRn1w1k&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rc5NhRn1w1k&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Honorable mention: Best Pinball game is obviously...

    Addams Family. I've been trying to get one for years hoping it comes down in price, but it hasn't. This video doesn't do it justice, but I'll allow it.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9kHxW64Wark&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9kHxW64Wark&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    I have more, but I thought I'd start with this.

    If you do post alternatives, please do like I did, and at least try and find a visual?

    What've y'all got?​

    I heartily agree with almost all of your choices. I'd have to remove Outrun and replace it with Moon Patrol (one of my personal favorites).

    My dad used to own an Adams Family pinball machine. It was, by far, much better than any pinball machine I've ever played.

    I had to be no older than 7 years old but people would gather around me at my parent's pool hall just to watch me beat this game with one quarter.

    As someone already mentioned moon patrol.

    And then Mario Bros. The first nintendo arcade boxes had a poor design where you could stick a straw through the top hinge on the coin slot door and get free credits. We played this game til we dropped dead. Could never pass it though.
