Space Invaders
Pac-Man
Street Fighter II
Daytona USA

First three are mostly self-explanatory (Space Invaders kicked off the Golden Age - this is what I think puts it a clear step above Pong, Pac-Man was the first true megahit arcade game, SF2 revived arcades for the 90's). Daytona USA is there mostly for fun, though it was great, felt like a game from the future when it came out, and represents a less conventional type of arcade cabinet than the above. And that soundtrack.

Other games I want to mention: Pong, Asteroids, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Dragon's Lair, OutRun, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, Virtua Fighter, a bunch of beat 'em ups and light gun games, Dance Dance Revolution

Street Fighter 2
Ms Pac-Man
The Simpsons
Dance Dance Revolution

Ms Pac-Man is so much more widespread than Pac-Man. Think about how often youve seen both of those around. I bet Ive barely seen any Pac-Man machines in my lifetime.

Pac-Man is the best selling arcade game ever. With 400,000 units sold, and $3.5 billion in income by 1985. (Almost $8 billion when adjusted for inflation)

Ms. Pac-Man on the other hand sold 125,000 cabinets. And had $1.2 billion in income by 1987. (2.5 billion when adjusted for inflation)

Keep in mind that the next best selling arcade game is Space Invaders with 360,000 units sold, and $2.7 billion in revenue by 1982. (6.85 billion when adjusted for inflation)

I'm torn, but.....

Donkey Kong: kicked off the legacies for Mario and DK, plus the King of Kong documentary released a quarter-century later. Open for other games this era or older.

Street Fighter 2: wish I could just include Mortal Kombat with SF2 -- the fighting genre first blew up there. Now that we are in a time where so many games have crossovers, the idea of SFxMK would be like when Mario and Sonic first started showing up in games together. There was a big gaming rivalry there, and that burst out of arcades.

Dance Dance Revolution: if you have any post-2000 arcade game recognized, I feel like this would almost have to be the one.

NBA Jam: Tournament Edition: being on fire entered the American lexicon here if it wasn't already. So were many announcer quotes. Also, the game had a post-mortem on GDC and they had a slide showing how much they were kicking ass.thirty-three years ago.

Big Buck Hunter

I think Big Buck Hunter is a big oversight here. You cannot go into an arcade pretty much anywhere without finding some edition of Big Buck Hunter or its hundreds of knockoffs

I respect the nod here, but I don't immediately think of that as an arcade game inside of arcades. I see that and Golden Tee Golf in multiple non-arcade'y spots though. Bowling alleys, bars, convenience stores...but I don't really remember them in places I would call arcades much.

Considered Street Fighter II, but I just never think about arcades when I think about SF. That, Daytona USA, and Galaga were good contenders for my list.

Really want a shooting game and a driving game (maybe Area 51 and Daytona USA) because they're such a big part of the aesthetic when you walk into an arcade, but I can't not vote for:

NBA Jam
Street Fighter 2
Space Invaders
Pac-Man

NBA Jam: Tournament Edition

Going back to my nom a second because I remember us discussing this with SF2 a few topics ago: this can also count for just NBA Jam for tallying purposes.
