I remember every one of those games! 1980-1986 was indeed the GOLDEN age of video arcades as I spent hours on weekends as a preteen and teenager growing up in that time period. Other classics such as Pole Position, Gyruss, Track and Field.

Loved Tempest. Played a lot of Galaga back in the day as well.

Such GREAT times! Remember games kangaroo, crystal castles, tron, shinobi, track and field?

[DeliRevv]

Is anyone else struggling with the mispronunciation of GALAGA? 😡

[VicarOfMayhem]

Played them all, miss those days! Would play again

Double Dragon series, Vigilante, WWF Superstars are also fun 80s games.

At 5:43 . . . It's funny. I grew up in this time period, right when all of these games came out and spent just about every other afternoon at the arcade in my early teens. And back then, EVERYONE pronounced it Gal•e-ga, not Ga•lag•a. Even though I have seen countless websites and blog posts dedicated to this issue, no one back then pronounced it as Ga•lag•a.

I feel sorry for the teens today who never had the enjoyment of dropping quarters in a machine and playing. Putting you quarter on the screen case and waiting your turn. I was lucky enough to have lived thru this era and still miss it to this day. Games were simpler and so good.

Donkey Kong, it was originally Jump Man.

Used to love my Atari racing game and adjust the TV controls to pretend i was racing at night but i love Ms. Pac Man much better

[markhewitt]

With consideration of the games, I just want the 80s back 😂

[davidpumpkinsjr.]

We need a modern generation remake of JOUST, complete with fully customizable armor, lances and ostriches. Maybe even have a cross promotion with Square Enix that lets you use a chocobo.

The Children of the Eighties within this decade are going to save this Nations Soul .

[Poppaea-Sabina]

I always thought it was pronounced GAL-aga.

[deniseherud]

for the love of god, it's pronounced "Que-Bert"🤦🏼‍♀️

[theprogressiveatheist]

Dig space Dug and Pac dash Man were almost as fun to play as Q asterisk Bert.

[silviahunerfauth]

First i blew all my pocket money at the arcade then i had no more money to eat at the food court 😢... was i a game junky 😮

You can download all of these for free with an emulator to play them.

[jsrocker]

T.t.s still seems to have issues with pronunciation
