Pretty sure the only game that ever had historical legs from my year of birth is Asteroids (1979) or Flight Simulator.

Galaxian is also one of the greats from the golden age of gaming.

Then of course there's Radar Scope, which is a special case.  A commercial failure for Nintendo, but 2/3 of that game's supply of ROM boards and cabinets would be converted by 1981 in the form of Donkey Kong.
