 Yar's Revenge, Asteroids (without Asteroids there would be no Geometry Wars), Space Invaders, Defender River Raid all of those are legendary games (just pick up Activision Anthology for PS2 to see the quality of some of the mentioned games)

It's not my problem if people think the history of video games begins with Nintendo in 1985.

You never walked into an arcade in the 80's or 90's, did you?

 In an earlier post, I talked about being in an arcade in South Carolina in 1985.  I was in several arcades prior to then too.  But by 1990, all of the arcades around here had largely disappeared or they had old games like Ms.  Pac-Man.  I did notice a few Capcom arcade games like Magic Sword in the early 1990s.  However, I never really got into the fighting games.

Look, it's almost mind-bending that you missed the point of what I'm saying here.

Asteroids, Space Invaders, and Defender were arcade games first. That is what they are. Arcade games.

You were tasked with naming one game that became legendary and got its start on the 2600. Arcade ports do not qualify.
