Who didn't catch Moon Patrol Fever? Every cool Kid in the 80's was sure to have a moon patrol lunch box.  :P

One time I had Moon Patrol Fever. Temperature of 104, hospitalized for two weeks; had to get a tracheotomy.

I'm going to have to disagree with Donk about Centipede not being a classic. Whenever anyone sees the trackball on my cab, the first thing they always ask is if they can play Centipede. It also seems to be very popular with the ladies, as well.

Donkbaca:
Yeah, then they play it for like 5 minutes and ask what else you got....

Bootay:
Yea my wife and all of her friends also love Centipede.

But what I think everyone is missing is, just because you personally don't like a game doesn't mean it's not a classic. I am not a big fan of The Rolling Stones but I would definitely say they are classic rock. I don't like "Gone with the Wind" but I would definitely list it as a classic movie. Defining a classic to me simply means that a lot of people were/are fond of it. Sure, interest in Moon Patrol and Arknoid has waned among your common gamers, but back in the day they were pretty big and popular games. Not on the same level as Pac-Man or Donkey Kong  but still popular. And the people who liked those games back then still like them today. And I would definitely list Centipede as a classic and I never really liked it.
