What was the coolest game released on the year you were born

[Knuckles]

1985, super mario bros. too !

I think we are some from 1985 here :shifty:

 

[Remote]

Hmm, looks at fake id but it only makes it harder.. I don't think there were any good games released in -83...

 

[DeadRabbit]

1970,

well, there was PONG,

and of course PONG WITH 2 BATS ON EACH SIDE.

or were there even those then ?

Somebody might even have had something with a 'BEEP' noise in a secret development lab somewhere, who knows ?

 

[Harteex]

1985 here, so that'd be super mario bros too.

 

[Remote]

Since the Famicom was released back in -83 and I guess SMB was a launch game, you -85's are all wrong, well kind of...

Hmmm...I don't know much about video games in 1983 (besides that it was the year of the big video game market crash), but the coin-op Mario Bros was released that year. I never played it, so I really don't know if it was the coolest (although I had fun playing the Mario Bros clone in SMB3 on my NES).

I'll have to fall inline with Orkin here; I have no idea what else was released in 1983.

:sp_canada hehehe, Canadian :sp_canada

Don't think electricity had been invented in 1969.
So the coolest game was probebly hula-hoops or something.

I'm having a problem deciding.. 1979, according to http://www.klov.com's list of arcade games, had:
Galaxian
Lunar Lander
Asteroids

and I'm not sure which is cooler. I would have to say, off the top of my head, Lunar Lander.
edit: changed my grammar so it doesn't suck quite as much.

I'm having a problem deciding.. 1979, according to mame.dk's list of 1979 roms that mame emulates, had:
Galaxian
Lunar Lander
Asteroids

and I'm not sure which is cooler. I would have to say, on the top of my head, Lunar Lander.

Agreed. Lunar Lander is the shiznit.

1969 ? :ermm:

That would be a pack of Playing cards

 

[karth95]

if you want to see what came out in a specific year, take a look at http://www.klov.com. They have a very complete list.

I dunno how good they were, but released in 1983....

Discs of Tron
Donkey Kong 3
elevator action
I, Robot
Jr. Pac Man
Krull
the original Mario Bros (not super for the NES, just mario bros.)
Pole Position II
Spy Hunter
and of course a bunch more, but I only picked the ones I've heard of. I wasn't aware of video games in 83, being 4 years old.
edit:
1986:
Alex Kidd, Darius, Gauntlett II, top gunner, others. I'd go with Alex Kidd, personally.

 

[The Khan Artist]

The only good game I know of released in 1986 was Arkanoid.

 

[Mr. Binks]

1987 brought us Contra, Rygar, Shinobi, and Street Fighter. ^_^

 

[Mayco]
