Donkey Kong may be the more iconic, and certainly a great game in its own right. But I actually prefer both Tempest and especially Galaga. The latter is probably in my top 3 of the 80s as a whole, the gameplay very polished and addictive.
Overall a brilliant year for arcade gaming with Ms. Pac-man, Frogger and Defender also being stand-out titles.
