I was born in 1990 and serveral of these still hold a place in my heart. Space Invaders is still one of the best games ever even 40 years on. Old games never die, they just ask for more coins!

My dad had a Space Invaders table cabinet in his fish and chip shop back in the early 80's in Australia. And one day he just brought it home and put it in our living room and there it stayed and played for years, serving as the "Kids" area of the hose. Being a glass table arcade, it garnered quite a bit attention until the game one day stopped working. Wish I still had it.

Nothing like the feeling of walking into a dark arcade full of these vintage games, a very distinct and great memory from Generation X.
-
I started playing video games with the first one Pong, and I've been playing them ever since. I aim to be the longest living video gamer. If I make it to 100, I would've been playing video games for 95 years.

Space Invaders is 40 this year.
-
For me, the mind blowing '70's arcade game was Tailgunner. Vector graphics with 3D ships flying at the screen blew my little mind!
-
Most of these were a bit before my time but I fondly remember the 80's games Moon Patrol, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Shinobi, Galaga...they were the ones that blew my mind as a kid.
-
I feel old...I've played most of these at the arcade.
-
LOL - I remember spending so much time playing both "Computer Space" and "Sea Wolf" at our international airport, waiting for our flights out - most of these came out at the time when I was between 10-18 and it's awesome to see these again on your upload. Thank you for the memories!

I'm still waiting for the release of Pong 2.
-
The 70s produced few arcade games, and began the golden age of arcade games in 1979.
-
Thanks for making this, it helped with my lab project about video games back in the second generation of video games (late 1970s)!!!
-
"Space Invaders" actually caused a nationwide yen shortage in Japan when it was released.
-
The first video game I remember playing in the 70s was Stratovox.
-
this list has put a big nostalgic smile on my face thank you watchmojo a big thumbs up from me
-
I have to say that the 70's also had some of the hardest games of all time.
-
This really takes me down memory lane. The one game I remember playing was Vanguard.
-
Notice how important and succesful spaceships games and movies were at the 70s
-
This takes me back, being born in 73, I remember these. Looking forward to the 80s list
-
You have given a fair selection. I'd mention 'Boot Hill' and 'Depth Charge' . . . great games from the 70s also.
