Game from that year I played the most as a kid is Phoenix, but my vote goes to Pac-man.

Surprised not to see one of the very influential games from 1980 on the list, Battlezone:

"With its use of three-dimensional vector graphics, the game is considered to be the first true 3D arcade game with a first-person perspective, the "first big 3D success" in the video game industry, and the first successful first-person shooter video game in particular, making it a milestone for first-person shooter games."
