[iceberg]

what are your top 5 video games that were alive and well in the 80s?

TRON
Vanguard
Dragons Lair (but gameplay was boring once you figured it out)
Xevious
Track N Field - i could cheat so bad at this game.

looking at games today they smoke the games of hte 80s, but sometimes i think todays games are too real and lose sight of being a game.

It's difficult for me to remember a few games. LOL

Two games I played to death were....

Elite
Civilization

In fact I have played four versions of Civ, with Civ3 being the best. :-)

Early 80's, I liked PacMan, Centipede and later on Defender. Later 80's, I actually got to enjoy Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 & 3 on the Nintendo platform.

As gaming evolves and we’re now able to fight our way through realistic warzones, face hordes of undead or stop nuclear attacks from giant robots, I can’t help but feel like video games just aren’t as fun anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love next generation gaming as much as the next guy! However, you have to admit that the 80’s golden age of gaming was a lot more lighthearted and enjoyable than wading through a Modern Warfare Veteran difficulty. So step back in time with me and let’s recall some of the greatest games of the 80’s.
