How classic are we talking here? I see most people stuck to Galaga generation games, but there are Street Fighter 2s and Mortal Kombats mixed in there. Mine would vary depending on whether or not those count as classic.

[/QUOTE]I think any kind of early 80s to late 90s are my kind of classics.

Classics I guess can refer to any games from the 70's to the early 90's, but I was thinking up to 1984.

Oooh, fun!  Okay,  I pick...

  1. Spy Hunter
  2. Road Blasters
  3. Pac-Mania
  4. Space Lords
  5. Demolition Derby

I've got to find a way to fit Discs of Tron in there, so I'd be willing to swap out probably Road Blasters because it's common.

No, Space Lords was a late Atari arcade game, and it was an absolute blast.  You could go two-player with a friend as your gunner, and you and your buddy could go up against another friend and his buddy (not that I ever had three friends all at once...) battling each other and a whole neighborhood of outer space races.  It was a total blast.

Would you like to know more?

I'm going to do two. The first one will be the real classics, the second will be my top 5 with more recent classics.

First List:
Galaga
Donkey Kong
Ms. Pac Man
Donkey Kong Jr. (sue me, I like them both)
Frogger

Second List:
Galaga
Street Fighter 2
Ninja Turtles Arcade Game
Frogger
The Simpsons

As you can see, Galaga and Frogger are my favorites from the first list.

Bigoldcar, thanks for the info on Space Lords.  I had never heard of the game before until you sent the link from klov.com (great website).  I have to check this game out.
