Pulsar from Sega/Gremlin.

Loved playing that in the Sega Centers.

Shortly thereafter, I got Star Raiders for my new Atari 400 and felt that same kind of thrill.

Same here. I remember first playing Star Fire at our church's carnival. I was thrilled when StarMaster was released for the Atari 2600, and later I played Star Raiders a lot, too.

Similar thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=108995.0.  Made me aware of several great games that maybe weren't top of the charts in their day.

Cynicaster:

Actually, this thread reminds me a bit of a thread I read a while back over at MameAddicts.com in which participants were encouraged to provide quick write-ups on games that others may not have heard of.  Some of them don't really fit that description very well (Mortal Kombat?) but I was definitely not aware of most of the games mentioned.

Even though the emulation is not 100% I enjoy Mr. Driller 2.  It has a certain depth to it...
